Guided tour is the best at this great museum - Fascinating museum! Definitely take the guided tour. Emi was our guide and she does a great job, sharing her passion and knowledge about this era in US history. The tour ends at a replica speak easy with a toast to the end of prohibition. Honestly one of the best museums I have been to.

Great Historical Reminder - This historical trip down prohibition lane was well done and accurately depicted this incredible dark time in our past. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire adventure and are glad we live in the present. Highly recommend.

Museum and Cocktails - My husband and I were visiting Savannah with another couple. We walked up to the entrance and spoke with Bunny who helped us decide when and what type of tour to do. We selected the guided tour with a mini bartending session in the speakeasy at the end. The tour was well done with so much history, and the bartending lesson with Jackson was so much fun! All four of us were happy that this was one of our Savannah experiences.

Guided tour more fun than reading placards! - I took the guided tour with the bartender experience at the end. The tour was excellent with more history story telling than I can retain. I thought the talking portraits were a hoot. The bartending experience at the end was interesting and fun, but it was very noisy where they chose to have it.
