    LOVED 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!

    Girl 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.

    A must-see for anyone who was in Girl Scouts
    As 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.

    A Girl Scout Mecca, with Fascinating Back Stories for All
    My 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.

    Very 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.

    This 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.

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.
