we visited the house after reading about it in Midnight in the Garden of good and Evil but we were disappointed as the tour concentrated on the art work and the antiques rather than Jim Williams and his history. We felt it was overpriced also

Even if you haven't seen the movie, read the book, this is an amazing home. You can imagine yourself living there very easily. I would suggest definitely doing this home on your tour. Warren was our tour guide and he was very interesting and informative.

We were so glad we decided to tour the Mercer-Williams House. We almost didn't do it since you can only see the lower level. (Jim Williams sister still lives upstairs).

We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. The presentation was good and not boring at all. The antiques in the house were amazing to see.

If you read "the book" you must go see this mansion. The sister still lives on the upper floors, so you can only get a tour of the bottom floor, but it's definitely worth it.
