Andrew Low House

Enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of the home and occupants. Great tour in addition to the Juliet Gordon Low birthplace.

Excellent historical tour with a great deal of information. Tour guide kept us engaged with opportunities to ask questions throughout the tour.

The house set-up is amazing and very historically accurate. My 7 children and grandchildren loved looking at the different paintings and wood carvings. My 9 y/o granddaughter especially loves the Girl Scouts background history! 100% recommend for those visiting Savannah 😍💯 PS watch out for the creepy dolls! 😱😱😱

This house tour was fantastic! The rich history provided by an amazing guide, Frank, provided a superb backdrop for the era and beyond! We were surprised to have almost full access to the house, not typical on most historical home tours! The rich history provided and original surroundings are very special and much appreciated! The effort put forth to maintain and share such treasures is outstanding! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This is one the later houses, built in 1847 (with indoor bathroom), and Low was for some time the wealthiest man in the city. He could afford to spend and he did. All in good taste, but grand. Steve gives a very thorough tour; knows the house and furnishings very well, willing to entertain questions of all sorts. Some people might go for Julia Gordon Low house for its more direct connection to the Girl Scouts, but this is by far the superior tour for the home itself and furnishings within and should be on your list as an example of 'peak Savannah'.

Worthwhile to visit. Beautiful home with history . Learned alot about the family and furnishings. Nice

Our day time tour guide was wonderful. Lots of history, beautiful home. We went back during a ghost tour and it's a different feel.

We went today and used our $30 TripAdvisor app cash . Thank U . 2 warnings - no public bathroom available for 45 minutes - hour tour and steep stairs ! Frank was SO knowledgeable and gracious. We learned a great deal about Low - Gordon families ! He talked wood, trim production, metal fabrication with my Construction/Woody husband ! Discussed a lot about health , high mortality of Mothers & Babes , Women's Rights & dangerous fashion & finances with me ! The house is gorgeous and mostly original . We learned about the black couple who served their families for decades and were freed and the Lady cook was even given Annual gift of $300 /annually in Andrew's Will !! Amazing ! Go see it ! SO worth it !!

I think our docent’s name was Steve. He did an excellent job. The one hour tour was very informative. According to Steve about 1/3 of the furnishings belonged to the family and 1/3 were from the same time period and I don’t remember what he said about the other 1/3!! I recommend this tour however this is the only one we did in Savannah.

The house’s history and the tie to the Girl Scouts was interesting to learn about. However, there were parts of the house that would have been intriguing to see but they were turned into offices instead. The parts you were shown were cool, but I feel there was a lot left to see.

We enjoyed touring the house and learning about the history of the property. The history about his relationships with his children was interesting. Our guide was knowledgeable.

Really beautiful home to see. Fine furnishings and well maintained. We ended up with a private tour as it was pretty quiet.

In September this year of course we visted the Low house. We went into the livingroom. As the group was leaving i decided to quickly take a picture of myself in the mirror there. After our vacation i reviewed my pictures. Lordy be....behind me looking CLOSE over my shoulder was a lady entity standing on my right hand side. Leaning on me couriously looking into the 'cell phone'. In the meantime i have contacted the museum manager in hopes that they can tell me what Low family it could be who's spirit is still there. They are checking the cameras. Again, the group of ladies were leaving the room and i wouldn't think that some stranger in the tour group is going to lean over me like that. I showed the picture to a known 'medium' here in germany where i live and said "oh my, there's alot of energy there". 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤔Low's first wife who died young in the house?

This is the BEST house to tour in Savannah. Our guide actually teaches how to give tours and focuses on museums. This house has connections to the Girl Scouts as well. It is furnished with items that the Colonial Dames acquired. Further, the portrait of the lady as you first walk in is a viral story how a man called and told the household about it being up for auction. Luckily, the household and Colonial Dames raised enough money and got the picture to put back in its original home.

This tour is underrated. Really well done by our excellent tour guide, and in my opinion, better than the Davenport House, which has more notoriety

The Andrew Low House is a well preserved historic home with original and sourced furnishings. The stories shared by the guide were interesting. She (sorry I have forgotten her name) loves her job and it showed in her enthusiasm. Juliette Gordon Low was the lady who started the Girl Scout movement in the USA.

An interesting, well-restored historic house. The guides are volunteer docents; the one we got was excellent.

Was very interesting and informative. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Was a great addition to going to the Juliette Gordon Low house.

Absolutely beautiful property with friendly and knowledgeable staff and even a gift shop! The docent was a great resource of information. Most of the tour is spent in the first floor main room hearing the story of Andrew Low and how his family became connected with Juliette Gordon, and the series of events that led her to launching the Girl Scouts. It’s a pretty amazing story. Much of the house you tour and view on your own as a period example of the home with about 30% of the items being original to the house and all being museum quality from the time period. Make sure you see the front gardens too! We really enjoyed the history and property, and it’s a sister property with the Green-Meldrim house!

If you love historic homes and history, Savannah is a great place to visit. On a recent weekend get-away I chose to tour the Andrew Low House which is located in the lovely Lafayette Square. I was just a couple of minutes late for a tour. Rather than have me wait, the lady at the desk, suggested I catch up to the tour and pay the admission ($11) after I finished the tour. I thought that was very nice. Gloria, our docent, was well versed in the history, furnishings, and architectural details of the home. I enjoyed both seeing the home and learning about it. Even though, quite 'fancy' it felt like a family home. Juliette Gordon Low, famous for founding the Girl Scouts, was the wife of Andrew Low's son, William MacKay Low. After the tour I got the ‘tea’ from the lady who collected my money. Old William was having an affair and in the process of divorcing her when he suddenly died. It was messy, but she ended up getting the house. Many of the early Girl Scout activities were conducted at the home. Highly recommended!

I very much enjoyed touring this home. The tour was guided and lasted around 30 minutes, thus it can be easily combined with other activities in the area. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed learning about the Andrew Low family. This was the home that Juliette Gordon Low lived in when she started the Girl Scouts. There was a little discussion about her, but really focused on Andrew Low and his family.

Very good tour guide and the house was outstanding. The history and background given of the family really helps to understand the people of past Savannah.

Beautiful house and we had a great tour guide who was very informative. I would recommend this tour to someone who is interested in architecture.

We stumbled upon this tour when we were looking for the Scout Headquarters next door. The staff was very friendly and let us join a tour that just started and allowed us to pay afterward. They had scavenger hunt check-off sheets for the kids that were fun. The tour was just enough to entertain and inform. We enjoyed the tour guide pointing out specific details in each room, and how she helped our kids find the items on the sheet.

A beautiful old house. The guides were very knowledgeable and provided a great tour. A lot of work has been down to restore and keep the house in an “original” state. They had some good information about Juliet Gordon Low and the Girl Scouts. I loved their use of QR codes around to read more information but I would have liked a little more time on my own so I could use the QR codes.

The house has been restored and nicely done, but very few actual Low family items. Your does not include the help/kitchen area (entire first floor). Very quick tour; I’ve experienced better.

We stopped here, while exploring Savanah with family members, on the Old Town Trolley Tour (which we'd highly recommend). The home is beautiful; rich in history and aesthetically engaging design. There is a wonderful selection of period furnishings and decor; bringing one into a sense of what once was, and now is, a bygone lifestyle. Our guide was knowledgeable, informative and friendly; adding to a wonderful experience. A nice option; if one desires a fuller immersion into, and appreciation for, old Savanah.

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.

So much fun and lots of history! Really enjoyed touring the house. Everyone was so knowledgeable and nice!

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.
