    If you love historic homes and history, Savannah is a great place to visit. On a recent weekend get-away I chose to tour the Andrew Low House which is located in the lovely Lafayette Square. I was just a couple of minutes late for a tour. Rather than have me wait, the lady at the desk, suggested I catch up to the tour and pay the admission ($11) after I finished the tour. I thought that was very nice. Gloria, our docent, was well versed in the history, furnishings, and architectural details of the home. I enjoyed both seeing the home and learning about it. Even though, quite 'fancy' it felt like a family home. Juliette Gordon Low, famous for founding the Girl Scouts, was the wife of Andrew Low's son, William MacKay Low. After the tour I got the 'tea' from the lady who collected my money. Old William was having an affair and in the process of divorcing her when he suddenly died. It was messy but she ended up getting the house instead of the mistress. Many of the early Girl Scout activities were conducted at the home. Highly recommended!

    I came here because it was one of the stops for the ghosts and grave stone tour at night. It was a bit freaky since they spoke about things that go on at night. I'm not sure if it is all speculation or not, but I sure had goosebumps. I never came here during the daytime, so I'm not sure if it's any different. The room upstairs with all of the dolls gave me the chills. We didn't get much time downstairs since we rushed through it all. Maybe it would have been a different experience in a different circumstance.

    Well maintained historical home of Andrew Low Our tour guide Kylee did a really nice job of explaining the history the family , the rooms and art. My daughter and I were both girl scouts so it was awesome to learn about the daughter in law Juliette Gordon Low who founded the Girl Scouts and did much of the early planning from the home. It was also neat to learn of Robert E Lee's visits there and he asked to be godfather of the youngest daughter.

    Well run and organized visit. Tours are guided every half an hour. Our guide was very informative and easy to understand. It is always nice visiting city, town and any museum to learn the historical part and inside of the historical event and in this visit influence of wealthy families to local politics, social life. This house for me was interested mostly for architectural influence for the time when was built. I believe is worthy to spent an hour and enjoy the tour.

    We had a wonderful visit to this house museum yesterday. The architecture & decor are both very impressive. The house is owned & operated by the Colonial Dames, & they maintain it very, very well. This house is a great example of an Antebellum home. I also want to give praise to our tour guide, Eve, who did an excellent job.

    Overall this was a nice place to visit. This is solely based on an evening visit, as I never made it in there during the daytime. When you come in, you start in the parlor. They do split the group into two, but even then the groups are still pretty big, making it hard to understand the info being presented by the staff. On the first floor, you'll be able to see the library and dining room area. The dining room was used for business and other types of meets after dinner as well. The bedrooms are on the second floor, including the Low bedroom. Overall, it doesn't take a long time to visit this place, including the gardens. Just a note though, pictures can only be taken in the evening only when part of the Ghosts and Gravestones tour. If you're visiting Savannah, it's worth at least looking at if you are into history.

    This was a great but quick spot along the Ghost trolley tour. The home is well kept and the tour is fairly short bevause there are only a brief top and bottom portion to the house. But this also makes it a quick and easy stop for the family who likes exploring some city history. For covid precautions they did require masks on inside the building and split our tour group in 2 to accomodate for the small spacing in the home.

    We walked to Lafayette Square and met the docent at the Andrew Low House for a guided tour. This was well done and we bought a patch. The girls and adults enjoyed this experience. Rating: A cumulative rating from the girls/ adults: 9 out of 10

    Beautiful house, better to tour it in individual tour though. The "Ghost Tour" was not that great. Especially since you are sandwiched into small spaces with lots of people. And unless you are super interested in antiques, you could be bored. The tour itself was too short, mostly a lot of information, very short ride on tour bus.

We chose to do the full loop first so we could hear Jared's complete narration before hopping off to explore. It was the perfect decision! He shared fascinating details about Savannah's rich history, along with some lesser-known fun facts that really brought the city to life. The tour sparked our excitement to visit spots we might have overlooked otherwise. The hop-on hop-off format worked brilliantly for us. Buses arrived quickly at each stop--we rarely waited long--and the stops are conveniently located near all the main tourist attractions. It got a bit crowded toward the end of the day (around 5 p.m.), and we occasionally had to wait for the next bus, but overall, it was seamless and stress-free. One small suggestion: I wish the tours ran a little later than 5 p.m. It would be ideal for avoiding parking hassles and enjoying dinner downtown--there are so many delicious restaurants to try! We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting an easy, informative, and enjoyable way to see Savannah. Thanks to Jared for making it memorable!

With that being said, upon researching the area, Dan's tour came up as almost unanimously the best thing to do in Savannah. To say we learnt a lot and had a great time would be an understatement, Dan gave us a broad overview of many elements of Savannah's rich and diverse history. We were visiting from Florida, so we knew it would be hot, but as it was a very shaded route with plenty of stops it was not an issue. As Dan advices on the website, pack water, and sunscreen. The walk itself is very dog friendly and at a leisurely pace suited to all levels of fitness. Finding dog friendly activities is always high on our list, and plus the wealth of knowledge and passion Dan has it was a no brainer! Due to the heat, some other guests had to reschedule their time, so we were lucky enough to have a private tour, which probably would be worth an additional star on its own! Dan as a host was witty, engaging and brought Savannah to life. We have already recommended Savannah Dan to multiple people and will continue to moving forward.
