Beautiful home and great tour. Youll get to see the main level and the second level, and youll learn about a true female boss! They are currently working on restoring the basement level to hopefully add to the tour. Getting married? Consider the houses courtyard. You wont be able to use the inside of the house, but the courtyard is beautiful! No photography on the inside of the house.
A bit expensive for what you get to see, no pictures allowed. Staff was difficult and inflexible. We considered it a donation and left.
Beautiful home. Great tour guide. Highly recommended.
On one of my random days off I decided to walk around the downtown Savannah area and happened to stumble upon this house. There wasnt much signage to indicate what it was but i did notice a small sign for tours. I decided to go in on a whim and it was very much worth it.Savannah has a lot of history that doesnt get talked about too often, the curators and guides at the Harper Fowlkes house know their stuff and tell it like it is (or was). The house itself is beautiful with every aspect being an important piece of history. From the wood in the floors to the rare style of ceiling in the dining room.Tourist or local, I would go check this out at least once.
We recently coordinated a Ceremony at the Harper Fowlkes House for one of our couples and it was gorgeous!! Lee was our on site coordinator and she was so nice to work with! She was always available to answer any questions that we had about the house!! Cant wait to have another wedding there!!
Our guide was OK, the house had several additions and the various rooms were eclectic but the history wasnt very interesting.
My tour guide here was very sweet and gave me a private tour through the whole house and answered any questions I had. This house is gorgeous and its no wonder a lot of weddings happen here.
Knowledgeable docent who contextualized the local history of Savannah with that of the house.
Very informative group of delightful people!!! Also just a beautiful home!!!
Original architecture, always been lived in since early 1800s
Beautiful home. Great look at Savannah restoration history. $12 for adult. Worthwhile.
Beautifully kept up antebellum mansion
Great tour of this historic house that included Savannah history for context. Our docent, Richard, was so personable and informative.
Many weddings and special events are held here. They also offer a paranormal experience during night hours for those interested, which is the only way you get to personally visit areas otherwise forbidden to see including the servants quarters. It holds so much historical value, even for those who do not believe in the paranormal.
Helen did such a great job leading our tour. She was very knowledgeable and welcoming. The house is well preserved with interesting history.
A beautiful home, I love the history that took place in this home
If this house tour was only one of several on a tour of homes program, it would (at best) be okay; given its current state. But, quite simply it isnt worth the $12 tour fee, and even if money was no object Id keep this house at the bottom of my tour list. Indeed, its exterior provides more interest than its interior.As a stand alone (on going) house tour, it takes advantage of tourists who presume a certain amount of historic significance or intrigue, whether building or people related.
Rude workers! I try to never do bad reviews but I have to write something for this tour. The actual house was very nice but the tour was not even close to good. They had a female at the entrance that acted like we worked for her. She acted rudely towards us multiple times on situations that she could handle way better. The other person there was a male & he was just as rude. He acted like he was annoyed by us the whole time. The customer service was NOT there at all. At the end we should have been able to hang out by the garden like stated online but the female said they had a medical emergency & we had to leave. They closed at like 1pm and posted time is 4pm. I feel bad for the other people with us because they actually paid full price for that. We used Groupon and got over half off our price and Im so so glad we did.
Extremely interesting house. Our guide, Mark(?), basically gave us a personal tour. Lots of history about the family, the house, and the Cincinnati Society. I would highly recommend this house tour!
As opposed to the Davenport House Museum, HF was a much nicer experience and we were allowed to interact with the authentic, original pieces in the house. Tour lady was sweet and the house was beautiful. 4 stars because the dont tour the basement or top-most floor. Would do this again.
Awesome history here.
Beautiful Greek Revival, and a lot of pieces are original. A true hidden gem. They have daytime tours, as well as weekend events. Check out their Friday night event!!
Very interesting with knowledgeable people guiding you through.
Even though they had a wedding setting up and I was the only visitor, they were very gracious.
Nice mansion
Interesting house, very short tour.
This was a waste of money and time to visit this house. There are a lot of pretty and antique items inside but the tour guide was very pushy and rude. We were not given the opportunity to take in the whole experience as we felt like hour hands were tied. The guide was also not very knowledgeable when it came to questions asked about some of the houses artifacts.
Beautiful european style wedding venue, perfect for intimate weddings in the courtyard.
This tour is worth the experience. Please go check it out #strongwomen
Gorgeous mansion with lots of history! They have daytime tours, as well as weekend nighttime events!
We are into visiting mansions and the ones in Savannah are special because of the people who owned them and the civil war. Good guides to tell you the story.
Great tour
Spooky fun visit to this historical house in Savannah Georgia.
