I agree with the other reviews concerning the amount of people on the tour and hence jammed into the rooms in the house. One of my major problems was the fact that the tour didn't go through the entire house. I liked the book/movie so I was curious about seeing where it all happened. As far as I remember, no... more

I was dissapointed with this tour. First of all its pricey, $12.50 per person. Second you really don't get to see that many rooms in the house and you are not allowed to take pictures. The tour lasts about 25 minutes and consists of a walk through 4 rooms on the first floor, each one described in excruciating detail. You... more

My husband and I were married at the Forsyth Park Fountain on August 19, 2009. We spent our honeymoon, taking our own tour of Savannah. It was fabulous!!! We ended our trip with a tour of the Mercer Williams House Museum and would not have ended it any other way. I felt the warmth of true "Southern Hospitality" throughout the... more

First of all, the tour had way to many people.The way they had the rooms roped off everyone in the tour couldn't fit in the first two rooms.If you going just to see where "the incident" happened, don't bother they won't answer any questions.They will only tell you what room it happened in.The furniture that Jim Williams had in the... more

I visited the Mercer Williams House on Sunday, April 26, 2009. I was surprised how many tourists were there since the movie was made over ten years ago and the book was published earlier. The house must have been beautiful when Jim Williams lived there. However, now it looks 'shopworn' and dusty. The staff working in the giftshop and the... more

My husband and I have not been to Savannah in over 2 years, but when we went it was once a month. We finally took the "tour" of the museum. I am unsure of what some people are really speaking about. Please, you must remember that the city itself is unique, as well as the people. If you go expecting... more

Our tour began with waiting in the “gift shop” or as I would call yet another junk store. Over priced knick knacks, to pass the time before entering through the double doors to the garden. The gardens must have been beautiful at one time, and one can only imagine the grandeur during springtime of the past. We then learned more... more

After reading the novel twice and viewing the movie numerous times, I finally got an opportunity to visit the famous Mercer House where the "incident" occurred. My experience was pretty interesting. I was disappointed that we couldn't take pictures, but the images are engraved in my mind, especially the fabulous art work and artifacts displayed all over the main level... more

After reading numerous reviews, we were concerned about visiting Mercer House, but found it a lovely experience. We had a wonderful informative guide, with a great sense of humour. She spoke about "the book" and the murder...but really the tour introduced us to how Jim lived, his wonderful collections and this beautiful home. We were only able to see the... more
