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.

FLW's Oak Park Homes - Beautiful homes representing different style & time periods for FLW. Short walk, which was appreciated on a hot, sunny day. Very informative.
