Sort of depends on how much you have to pull out. My son re-did a
bathroom in a '50s vintage house using a Dremel, and a grout saw. Real
PITA job, no matter how you go about it.

Dremel has 1/8" and 1/16" bits - seems like when I did our grout removal
they had only 1/8", which was a tad small in spots. It has a guide
attachment to keep you on the straight and narrow and works pretty
quickly. Need to be careful if the tiles aren't evenly spaced, as too
tight fit is likely to chip tile.

Thanks for the replies, im just going to change the color of the white grout
with a darker color that matchews the tile
