I liked touring this house. It was well worth the 18 bucks I spent for the multiple house tour passes. This was my personal fav.

We had a very nice tour in the Andrew Low Home. It was a very private tour, as only my fiance, another visitor, and I were in our tour group. The tour was decently priced and very informative. The house itself gave a good glimpse into the lives of average 19th century Savannah citizens. The home is beautiful but is... More

Lovely home to see. It's not super ornate like the Green-Meldrim home but a more of a look inside a real family's home. Our docent was very knowledgable and answered many questions for us. She also recommended we stop by Jekyll Island on the way to Floria to see the summer cottages of JP Morgan, Rockefeller, and Goodyear.

Of the 7 homes we toured, this was tops. Everything inside and out had been well taken care of and the tour guide was excellent. I was not interested in seeing the companion properties that come with the 3 house ticket, but I was interested in seeing them after I finished the tour. Buy the 3 home ticket for $18... More

This phenomenal example of Neoclassical Italian Villa style architecture features 13-foot ceilings, and has one of the three original Savannah gardens, the bedding plan maintained for 160 years. Given the museum-quality original furnishings, artwork, silver, jewelry and small items, roped-off rooms allow only a view of exquisite maintenance. Never renovated, but damaged in the 1886 earthquake that devastated Charleston, the... More

Visit this house, even if you are not interested in the history of Girl Scouts. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, both about the house and the rest of Savannah. The home is beautiful and has lovely furnishings.

I was not overly impressed with the tour. The house itself was interesting, but I wish they made smaller groups with the tour to make it more personable. The larger group size made it hard to hear when our guide was in one room and we were in the other due to the size of the group. It brought the... More

I've been to the Andrew Low House numerous times, and, I have to say, it's the best house to isit in the city. The docents are incredibly knowledgeable about the house and the family, and they will happily answer any questions you have or find someone who knows the answer for you. The house is richly furnished in original furniture... More
