Summary: We went to Charlottesville to visit a few wineries and saw this tour as one of its attractions. I wasn't sure what to expect from the tour but Victoria was EXCELLENT!!!!!!! She not only gave a great tour and was easy to vibe with, but she also knew her history. Mentioned a few times how she reads more to actually better the tour. And she did that very well. I would definitely do the tour again if I'm in Charlottesville. But this time do the extended tour.
