Biltmore is the biggest house in america built by jorge vanderbilt. I love the tours inside the house where you can see the old but classy house from its decades but unfortunately taking pictures were not allowed. Inside the house we can see the library of vanderbilt's with more than 2500 books, old storage area, swimming pools, painting, and many... More

This is opulence at its ultimate. A massive estate with beautiful gardens, wine shop, retail etc, but the highlight is undoubtedly the fantastic Biltmore house, a must-see if you are in the Asheville area.

It was even more spectacular than we expected. The splendor of the house and the gardens is unimaginable so seeing them in real life is hard to comprehend. The so-called robber-baron age left us with fabulous reminders of America's "royalty."

We spent over six hours touring the Biltmore Estate and would recommend that anyone visiting Asheville be sure to see it.

The tour of the house is very informative, especially if you have the headphones (highly recommend). The grounds are well-kept and strolling through the gardens is a must. I would plan at least a half-day during your visit.

Wow... we just returned from the Amazing Biltmore Estate,,, Even tho we are not into mega-tours and lots of historical facts... It was unbelievable. We went thru the house in a little over an hour... using the free tour guide rather than having the audio with detail after detail.. (which I am sure would interest a lot of people but... More
