Bigger, better, and more interesting than we expected. We'll come back for more "backroom" tours. More

My wife and I toured the Biltmore Estate in April 2012. It was well worth the time and money. At $59 each it was not cheap but it was a great tour. We rented the audio guide, at $10 each, but again, this was also very worth while. I could not imagine doing the tour without the audio guide. We... More

Seeing Biltmore at any time of the year is a wonderful experience, but go over the holiday season for a magical adventure. The event is called Biltmore By Candlelight, and if you do it once, it's something that you'll never forget. The entire estate is ablaze both inside and out with candles--no electric lighting. The admission covers the cost of... More

This was a remarkable attraction! We visited here on April 1, 2012 and toured the house. I highly recommend the audio tour, it was very efficient and detailed. Our 10 year daughter loved touring the house and visiting the gorgeous gardens on the property. We would also recommended eating at Cedrick's Tavern in the Antler Hill Village. This was probably...

Absolutely worth the admission price. Very interesting house with lots of architectural detail. Very good exhibits throughout the house. Plan to spend the whole day there -- you could easily spend 3 hours in this house and 3 more in the gardens. More

I recently had the opportunity to tour the Biltmore Estate in Asheville,N.C. I absolutely enjoyed the experience. It is a beautiful building, furnished well with a lovely love story to be told, I have visited many Castles in Europe, this is a must see in the United States. More

Was amazed at the size. Even though we had seen pictures, nothing did justice to the actual size of the house, stables and outside sitting areas. The gardens were beautiful. Really enjoyed it. More

We visited the Biltmore May of 2012. It is stunning. Unfortunately they do not allow any photos inside the home, but there are plenty of photo opportunities outside and in the many surrounding gardens. I was also disappointed that there were so many rooms and areas that were not open for us to view. It was a bit frustrating for... More
