The home is very beautiful and very interesting. We went at a busy time and our group was divided into two. The tour guides were a younger and older woman. We were hoping not to get the older one, but unfortunately we did. We were thinking this is going to be boring, but we were VERY SURPRISED. She was excellent.... more

This house was interesting to see but the tour guide was not as interesting. I would recommend it if you want to see the inside of one of these old homes. Our group had too many people, so not everyone could squeeze into the rooms at the same time. more

This house was very nice, old Regency style which I am a fan of. The tour wasn't the best, & it was very museum style, look no touch. I kind of started ignoring the guide by the end, just to take in more of the details of the house. If you like old style architecture, especially the old Regency style,... more

As almost all tour guides seemed to be telling us, the Owens-Thomas house is the house tour that most people will enjoy visiting. This was definitely the case for us. Colin was our guide. He seems a little uncomfortable being in front of a group (can't blame him, I hate public speaking and end up shaking like a leaf). Also,... more

The architecture of this home is amazing and the home is in great shape. Our guide gave us a very good tour as well as history behind the house and its former inhabitants....The gardens out back are beautiful when they are in bloom. more

The Owens-Thomas House is amazing!!! It is quite interesting to see the concept behind how things were designed and how life was like back then. There are still many artifacts in the house. Our tour guide was funny, highly entertaining and extremely knowledgeable about not only the house but Savannah and southern history in general. A tour I would definitely... more

The house is beautiful. The organization of the tour and the guide were very disappointing. It seemed to me that those organizing the tours of this home don't have a true respect for or understanding of the "awesomeness" of what they have to show. Our tour guide was rude, making wisecracks about people asking questions and fussing at those who... more

We thought the house was very interesting and not that expensive. The tour was long and informational, but the docent did not seem to want any questions to be asked. It was definately worth seeing. more

This is a long tour. It has a couple of highlights, but in my opinion not really worth the money. more

We have been to Savannah 9 times and have been on most of the house tours. The Owens-Thomas house was by far the best. The tour guide was very informative and eager to answer questions that went beyond the scope of the house. You may have to wait for your tour because it is one of the most popular destiination,... more
