My husband, nephew and I took this tour yesterday (05/15/21). Our tour guide “Christopher” was AMAZING, knowledgeable and funny as heck! We are definitely recommending this tour to our family and friends. Shout out to our driver “Ali” who maneuvered through traffic like butter. What a team! Mike, Letty & Tyrus

Besides touring the grounds and the mansion we booked a National Treasure Tour, which takes you into the basement of the mansion and several outdoor spots, including the wharf, related to the movie. Our guide was Greg Reed who was VERY knowledgeable, and gave us so much more information than I’m sure he planned on. He was able to answer in depth, every single question our group had, plus lots of extra tidbits. Highly recommend you do not miss this portion of the tour.
