Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters - Savannah (GA)

5 /5 Wolfgang Gruener: Must, must, must. Most significant tour in Savannah. Tickets are $30, but include two other places, not quite as spectacular. Deep look into the history of one of Savannahs mot important houses. Great guides!

5 /5 Terry Rajewich: The tour guide did an excellent job covering the history of the home and slave quarters. Gave you a really good understanding of what the slaves endured in that time. Highly recommend if youre interested in this type of history. The tour is first come first served. We took the 1:00 p.m. tour.

5 /5 Shelly S: Absolutely excellent tour and experience. Very experienced tour guides, small and comfortable groups, plan your trip and either pre schedule or arrive early. Very clean rest room area.

5 /5 Wai Ling Fong: I took a guided tour of the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters and gained valuable insight into its history, including the various owners of the house and the Owens-Thomas family, who held the property the longest. The tour offered a fascinating yet sobering look at the lives of those who lived there—both the wealthy occupants and the enslaved individuals who labored behind the scenes. It was eye-opening to explore the contrast between the grandeur on display and the harsh realities hidden from view. I enjoyed reading letters written by the family which offered a rare glimpse into how they communicated and navigated their lives in a personal way. I also appreciated the tour guides’ thoughtful and intentional language when discussing this complex history. They took the time to explain distinctions between terms like "slave" vs. "enslaved individuals", ensuring a more accurate and respectful understanding of the past. Located in the Savannah Historic District, this tour is a meaningful and educational experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to better understand Savannah’s history.

5 /5 Jeremiah Jones: A great tour! The price of admission/tour includes seven days access to three museums, I started at the art museum and they were able to schedule my tour of the house for a convenient time. I appreciated that the focus of the tour was seeing the architecture through the history of the people who were enslaved within it, since so many other house tours gloss over the struggles that Americans endured to create a more free world.
