It's mostly just a tour of all of Jim Williams antiques on the first floor of the home. Still cool to see the house made popular by the movie .

Allen Vogliano

Beautiful house and very informative tour . I had never read the book or watched the film so it was all new to me. No picture taking is a bummer but don’t let that deter you.

Brandy M.

Impressive restoration and antique collection. You'll have to ask your tour guide about the murder since they seem to gloss over that on the tour .

Sherry Mongold

I watched Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil immediately before visiting. It made the visit even more spectacular. I want to live in this home!!

Sean Masse

The tour is ok. You only get to go through the first level, which is fantastic. But not being able to see the kitchen or second story of the house spoiled the experience.

Mark McLaughlin

Fun tour of the bottom floor of the house that massively skips over some of the more intriguing aspects of the murder story.

Elizabeth Petruy

Buy your tickets for the Mercer Williams House Tour . Buy a copy of the book , "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Buy some tchotchkes. Whatever floats your boat.

Normally I avoid house tours but I really enjoyed this one. Perfect length at 35 minutes, personable tour guide , and beautiful house filled with stories.

Tours are about $13 to tour the midnight in the garden of good and evil house.

Zachary Long

Always a must do!

Brandon Roberts

It's a good tour but you only see a small area.

Joseph Verran

Creepy! Be sure to watch the movie Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil!

Antiques and history of building

Millard Ellis

Great tour !

Koren Robinson

Do not waste your money on this tour . The antiques are nice but the 'garden ' is a big disappointment. And it is very basic for the price you pay! Do a trolley or walking tour instead!

We stumbled on to this by chance, thus proving that it's so important to just take walks through new cities, like Savannah. We also passed a beautiful fountain and the girl scouts first location - Joe Conte
