An Absoute Wright Must! - Interesting and informative tour. Suggest taking the longer option. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our many questions. This site is a must for those folks wanting to understand the evolution of design that Wright embarked upon during his lengthy career.

Excellent Tour - This is a walking tour of homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright around the Oak Park neighborhood. The homes are privately owned but even though you don’t go inside, you can still learn a lot and admire his architecture. Jean was a very knowledgeable docent and you can tell that she enjoyed giving this tour. We learned so much and left with a better appreciation of his details. Recommended for anyone who is a fan of his architecture.

Excellent FLWright Walking Tour - Our docent Meg was amazing for our Frank Lloyd Wright neighborhood tour in Oak Park! She was prompt in arriving at our meeting spot, welcoming, easy to talk with and so knowledgeable about the houses we were seeing. She showed us the special characteristics of each house and tied them all together. We never felt rushed and we managed to see all ten houses and finish up just in time.

Visiting from Philly - Guide was knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. The walking pace was perfect and the small group size made for a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

Great tour - Great guided tour of early FLW homes in Oak Park, including some this architect had never seen before. Walk was not long or hard but included about eight homes.

Over four hours visiting Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs in Oak Park - This was a very enjoyable tour and Sylvia was a passionate and knowledgeable guide. We saw half a dozen homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as well as a church. The only thing to note is the length of our tour was 4.25 hours, considerably longer than the 2.5+ hours advertised on the website.

A great part of Chicago's history & beauty - This was a very good tour with an exceptionally knowledgeable docent, Meg. Her commentary was both interesting and entertaining. The houses were magnificent to see. A must for all of those interested in FLW's work. And for anyone who is not, but enjoys architecture this is also a must. Oak park is a beautiful part of Chicago that all should visit if they have the chance.

Misleading - Completely misleading! The tour does NOT include the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio tour. Under exclusions this tour operator should that bullet point. They should also add clear text to the description of the tour stating this.
