University of Virginia Tours

How did Thomas Jefferson get the state of Virginia to fund what was at the time the largest and most expensive building project in the history of the United States? Why did he design it the way he did? Why didn't he enhance his alma mater, William and Mary? What happened in the Rotunda fire in 1895? What is UVa like today?

If you're just visiting the area or if you're thinking of attending the University of Virginia, a tour is a great way to learn about this beautiful and completely unique place of learning.

But it's not all about academics and Jefferson. Hear also about murders, ghosts and pranks that help make the University what it is today.

A tour exploring the University of Virginia can take between one and two hours depending on your interests.
