- Megan MPrinceton, New Jersey590 contributionsLOVED this tour-Janis was great!As a former Girl Scout (from a Brownie to earning the Gold Award) I was very interested in visiting this attraction. The great reviews from previous visitors sold my husband as well! Janis gave an excellent tour. It lasted about 55 minutes and gave us a great understanding of the house and Juliette’s (Daisy’s) life. We enjoyed every moment of the tour and learned a lot. It inspired me to learn more about JGL and made me excited to lead my daughter’s troop next year! A must-see when you’re visiting Savannah-especially former, current and future Girl Scouts!Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 9 May 2023
- ScoutMom4Springfield, Illinois15 contributionsGirl Scout mom/ leader Geeking out!I was so excited to to finally experience the tour with my mom and girls. I really enjoyed the tour and hearing about JGL’s early years. I think a must for anyone in the GS community and really anyone who loves history.Visited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 21 July 2023
- Carol757Springfield, Virginia4,268 contributionsA must-see for anyone who was in Girl ScoutsAs a former Girl Scout, I had to visit Juliette Gordon Low’s birthplace while in Savannah. We were there on a quiet day, so my husband and I were the only two people on the tour. Our guide was excellent and even my husband, who has no interest in Girl Scouts, enjoyed it.Visited November 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 October 2023
- JMCSTLSaint Louis, Missouri6,001 contributionsA Girl Scout Mecca, with Fascinating Back Stories for AllMy wife picked the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum as a Savannah touring destination because of her experiences in the Girl Scouts in her youth & as an adult leader. The guided tour & the knowledgeable tour guide & the period furnishings & all of the artifacts describing Juliette's life were just as interesting to me as they were to her. The staff is very friendly, the museum is well laid out with lots of descriptive signage, and the tour is very informative (with our tour guide engaging guests to participate in discussions throughout). This tour offers special personal interest for current & former Girl Scouts, but there are many aspects that will engage others with interests in the family & organizational aspects of Juliette's life.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 November 2023
- Mary B9 contributionsVery gorgeous home, great tour and surprising stories!This home and tour was a such a surprising pleasure. The home is beautiful, and has a lot of the original beautiful furnishings. The tour was well done by Bailey who had so many interesting facts about Juliette's personal life. Juliette lived through the gilded age as a woman of privilege yet was essentially abandoned by her high society husband after a couple years. And that led in a round-about way to the formation of the Girl Scouts! So - a happy result. The stories about how and why she formed a scouting group for girls are what was so surprising and entertaining to both of us. I am a former Girl Scout, but that wasn't why we came here. We'd heard from others that it was a great tour of a beautiful home. We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed the fun small gift shop.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 February 2024
- debla2Staten Island, New York4 contributionsThis museum is a must.If you value strong women who changed the world and strove to enhance the lives of girls, you need to go to this museum. Of course, if you were a Girl Scout in your past or are still a GS, this is a must. Fascinating museum and tour about the life of Juliette Gordon Low, who started Girl Scouts. I didn't know she was such an accomplished artist. Lovely rooms and artifacts from her life. About an hour tour. The museum has an elevator.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 4 March 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have a new found respect for Juliette Gordon Low. Being a Brownie and a Girl Scout I had some knowledge of her but had no idea what a truly amazing woman she was. Great tour and highly recommend.

Loved learning about the founding of girl scouts and seeing all the talents of JGL. As a lifelong girlscout it felt special to share with my mother who was my troop leader and my infant daughter who is a future scout.

Having been a Girl Scout, I enjoyed seeing where Juliet Lowe grew up. I did not particularly appreciate that this house is used for a haunted house tour.

Pros: The house and the history is great. Very neat to be able to step back in time.
Cons: Our tour was overly-guided to the point it became annoying and we just wanted to get it over with. Very restrictive (but understandable), way too much talking, guides have a hard time reading their audience and adjusting based on ages and number of people in group.

Yes, it is accessible. There is an elevator inside that anyone with any issues with climbing stairs can use to get to the upper levels. One of the long time guides has issues with ambulation and regularly uses it as well. Staff and other visitors will be very accommodating & helpful.

How can I book a tour for our troop? We are coming during Spring Break next March, I think we'd like to tour on the 15th?

The website for the birthplace has contact information. Call to set up a tour. They also offer special programs for troops, and the girls can earn a badge. We also participated in a pinning ceremony. The girls pinned each other with the unique pin, which can be worn on the front of the uniform. It was a sweet moment.
We spent most of a day enjoying the birthplace. Hope you all have as much fun as we did!

Sorry, I haven't a clue who manages or owns the property, not sure what bearing it would have on visiting it. I do remember hearing Girl Scout troops should have reservations, though.

Is it possie to park at one historic site and walk to the other (Davenport, birthplace and Low)

Doing a combination of a hop on/hop off bus, and walking is probably what will work best. I am not sure about the person who mentioned the free hop on/hop off, but we found discount tickets for a 2 day hop on/hop off that we first were given the full loop, with narration, and then had access to the bus for 2 days. The great thing is that if you are at a location, you can call a number and a bus will arrive within a few minutes.
