We were staying in Gatlinberg and had planned to visit Biltmore so ordered tickets ahead to save money. My husband was there years ago and many times has made reference to his visit so we decided since we were so close we would go again. It was my first time and honestly I wasn't looking forward to it( I would... More

I have heard about this place for years and everyone said it would be great. They also said that the teenagers woul be bored (they were right about the teenagers). I bought the tickets online to get them at $45, which is still too high. We went to the house 1st. We walked to the house because there were stuttles... More

A friend of mine (whom I have a lot of respect of his opinion) told me that I should visit the Biltmore Estate whenever I had the opportunity to visit Asheville. It certainly did not disappoint as I was in awe of the grounds and the ambiance of the estate itself even though I was only there for half a... More

Wow. The scale of this home is unreal. from the drive into the estate on the ascent rd you can see the genius of Olmsted. The home is amazing. I highly recommend the architect tour.

My husband and I went away for a long weekend. We wanted something where there wouldn't be a lot of kids. There were some children - but not many and they were well supervised. We wanted some history and walking into this place was like stepping back in time. This place was great!

We recently returned to the Biltmore Estate but this time we spent 17 dollars extra and went on the guided butler's tour after the standard tour. Most definitely worth the money! One of the more interesting things we did all week. Highly recommend.

This was the first time in several years we visited the Biltmore. We visited on a Tuesday. Shuttle bus was nice, but a shelter is needed to shield you from the elements while you wait for pick up in front of house. Too many people going through at one time and the ones with the hand held audio tended to... More

This was a fantastic tour. Your ticket includes a self paced tour of the house, a self-paced walk through the gardens and a visit to the winery and the exhibits there. Extras worth getting include the audio tour for the house tour and the Architectural tour (which includes a visit to the roof). We also enjoyed the bistro at the... More

If you are visiting Asheville, this gem should not be missed. We rented the audio tour, which was informative, but we felt it to be helpful to go through a second time without the audio. There is so much to see, it is easy to miss key items. The furniture alone is worth seeing. Two days are essential to see... More
