  This is a beautiful house in the historic district and an easy walk from Bay St. If you’re interested in Juliette Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts in the US, this might be an important visit for you. If you’re not, the home is lovely and the docent shares a lot of information on the tour.

  The tour was actually very good. We were the only couple there for the tour, at that time. The docent was dedicated to our attention. He allowed and encouraged questions, and was very informed. They don't typically go upstairs with guests, but as he was not busy, he popped up after a couple minutes, and told us about the upstairs. That was great. The basement is not on the tour currently, but I think they hope for it to be eventually. We were glad we visited.

  I loved this tour. The house was beautiful, the tour was informative, and not all about the Girl Scouts. Our docent was very passionate, knowledgeable about the architecture, and encouraged questions.

  We waited with a crowd of 16 or more to enter in the tiny store. Once we entered, the space again, was too small for this crowd. The tour guide spoke quickly and did not tell the story of the house in a smooth transitioning. It was hard to enjoy in the crowd. We were offered to roam about after the tour. I noticed most of our group leaving in a disgruntled manor. Plenty of potential for this tour. The poor execution made it feel like a rip off.

  I have been in many historic homes like the Andrew Low house. Most historic homes are fairly similar, the difference being the story and details the tour guide can provide about the people who lived there. Our guide dispensed with a hello or an introduction and launched into a machine gun-like recitation of facts lasting perhaps five minutes. Then she said we were free to roam about, and could learn more from the QR codes we’d find around the house. She remained on the first floor in case we had questions. In the rest of the house there was no curation, no placards, no explanatory notes by room entrances or under portraits. I heard one confused older lady asking her middle aged daughter how the QR codes worked, which were on a table in the hallway. My guess is the place is a pilgrimage for Girl Scouts who come no matter what the tour offers, so the guides can phone it in - literally. Maybe they already know extensive details about Juliette Gordon Low is, maybe they are young enough that they prefer QR codes to a guided tour. It’s a shame because they have a lot to work with at this site: the house is beautiful and many of the furnishings are original to the family. We were out of there in less than 15 minutes both felt it was one of the worst home tours we had been on.

  I don't know why I picked this house to tour while in Savannah, it was pretty disappointing for the price. Unless you are a Girl Scout fanatic, I'd skip it and see one of the others. It's a pretty small house with not much to see, the tour guide mostly spoke about things you couldn't see. Staff there was nice, and a group of young scouts seemed to enjoy it.

  Docent gave a fascinating tour that included architecture, fashion, furniture, art, family history, curating details, and more. Well done. Very interesting. Educational. The tour focused on the house and family history, so there wasn't much about the Girl Scouts, but the length and fun details would be great for kids.
