I enjoyed the tour. It was a small group (about 10 adults). The house is very beautiful, and it is very clear Juliette Gordon Low was a very accompilsed women. A few of her orgional artworks are on dispaly throughout the house. The only downside is you are not allowed to take pictures.
As a former Girl Scout, I loved hearing about this multi-faceted, strong and self-sufficient woman. The home was beautiful, and it wasn't too much for this non-museum person. We were stuck behind a very slow group, so our group had to do a lot of standing around waiting. Other than that, it was a great tour.
Stopped at the Juliette Gordon Low house on a trolley tour around Savannah. I had read such good reviews before going and didn't know anything about her and the history of the house before hand. This was the most interesting and educational part of my Savannah trip. Our tour guide, Marie, was very informative and interesting. She knew EVERYTHING about Juliette's life, family and the house. Someone in our tour group kept asking quite obscure questions and Marie had an answer for everything! This house reminded me of an American Downtown Abbey. I also liked how close you can get to everything in the house (without touching things). We were able to walk right into the rooms as opposed to other houses that rope off rooms or items in rooms. I would definitely go back and recommend this as a must see in Savannah.
If you were a girl scout you must stop at Juliette Gordon Low's Birthplace. It is really a special place and it was an honor to tour her home!!!
My last visit here was 37 years ago when I was 13 and a Junior Girl Scout. It was just as much fun as I remembered it then. The tour was nice and allows full access to all rooms. The garden was beautiful and had lots of photo ops. Don't skip the silent movie at the beginning of the tour. It was made by Juliet Gordon Low herself and is a hoot! The gift store is nice but I wish it had more gifts that were specific to Juliette Gordon Low rather than just Girl Scouting!
We visited Juliette's house on the ghost tour. Cool place and garden and great staff and good stories.
As a former Girl Scout I had hoped one day to visit our founder's birthplace. I was not disappointed. All of the furnishings were from the Gordon family. I most impressed with her paintings and sculptures.
This is well done with many lovely portraits and furnishings. It also claims to have spirits that make their presence known; unfortunately, we did not encounter that experience.
The setting is really nice. We sat in an upstairs room that was quiet and romantic. The server was really attentive. We had some of the onion rings for an appetizer. Their special, the fried flounder is excellent. Also the apple pie dessert is one of the best i have had anywhere. Would definitely go back.
It was just an okay tour! You can't take photos of the inside and they say on the Website, cookies are part of the tour, well, we never got any refreshments (cookies) That was a letdown. Still great hearing about Juliette's history though.
