My second - throughout the past 25 years - wonderful visit to this worthwhile Oak Park tour. - Excellent docent - Paul - who was knowledgeable kind and perfect for our 10 am tour. I’d like to do this, if I lived in Chicagoland,

Great suburban outing in Chicago area. So interesting! - This was an outstanding experience! Family was in-town, so we headed out to Oak Park to tour the home and studio after buying tickets for the tour online that morning. There was plenty of parking around the studio. Prior to our tour's start, we enjoyed the courtyard and the neat gift shop, which features a lot of products inspired by Wright's designs. We then went on a tour. It features both the home, where Wright and his family lived, and the (attached) studio. It was about an hour long. Our guide was exceptional -- knowledgeable, funny, a good speaker, and full of interesting facts and information. He also answered a lot of questions with ease. Throughout the tour, I learned even more about Wright's style, his life (including his family), and his career. The interior spaces were quite cool. Of particular note was the children's play room in the home and the main drawing area in the studio. Within walking distance of the home and studio, there are several other Wright-designed homes; you can buy a helpful map in the gift shop. And, even beyond the Wright homes, the area is full of old Victorians, which are beautiful in their own right. A fantastic afternoon outing. Highly recommended!

For those who admire Frank Lloyd Wright's work, a must see. - For those who want to see where he worked, lived, and his creative mind in his design theories, etc. this is not to be missed, as well as the houses very nearby that he also designed. The guide we had was wonderful with great anecdotes and history facts.

FLW Home & Studio - We did a CAC walking tour of FLW Oak Park homes & then did this home & studio tour. Beautiful restoration work. Interesting & amazing.

Inside and Out - After touring the inside of the home and studio with a very knowledgeable guide, you can continue the tour with an audio device that offers insight into many of the homes in the area designed by FLW. Definitely do both!

Where it starts - our FLW touring has come full circle! - Having been to eighteen Wright structures including Taliesin West in Scottsdale, the Gamage in Tempe, and Fallingwater in Mill Run, my wife and I finally made it to his home and studio. It was noticeable on the tour how Wright progressed in design from earlier concepts to those later incorporated in his classics; horizonal lines, earth tones, and height forced perspectives. Our excellent docent first started with the outside architecture then toured us through the home and later the studio. The children's playroom and gallery was spectacular. It was interesting knowing that Wright patrolled this studio, worked in his office, kept patrons waiting in "the waiting room" and meet with clients and stored documents in the octagonal library. The library was surreal in knowing that decisions were made here that affected our the Wright structures we visited.

Very interesting tour with good guide - We toured the home and studio and the guide was quite good. The children's playroom was especially endearing. We also enjoyed the outside walking tour after the inside tour.

Great architecture, tour not so great - The studio tour might be better than my rating, but we had some difficulty driving there and were 15 minutes late for our purchased tour. We requested to be moved to the next tour, which we saw only had 6-7 people in it (we saw them touring the house) but they refused to allow us, saying we would have to pay again. They took us to meet the group, we missed the first 15 minutes, which is most of the downstairs home. The rest of the tour was ok, but our guide was also just ok, not adding much and not answering all questions. The self-guided tour of the other houses in Oak Park is definitely not worth the price, the paper guide is not useful, and we ended up using a couple of different online guides, it only took us a minute to find something better in Google. The two stars belong to Frank Lloyd Wright, not to the organization.

Nice site- terribly rude staff - Amazing site- horribly rude staff. Despite arriving 3 minutes after opening, took 20 minutes to check in with our Go Chicago passes, and then wait 1:20 for the next tour. Not worth it. The tour is an hour long. But be prepared to be talked to like you were a disruptive child on you first trip to any museum. Seriously, the group of octogenarians that run this tour lectured 16 grown adults about cell phone usage, not touching anything, not lingering in a room. If the tour guy moved on, you had to be there. They spent the entire tour chastising the group about lingering to take pictures. And then, the lady who lectured at us about not using our cell phones so as not to disrupt others interrupts our tour group to argue loudly with a coworker about who was responsible for the next tour group. Everyone there was horribly rude and slow. I cannot emphasize this enough. These people clearly hate their jobs!!

bummed out. - we were unable to enter. The woman at Viator told us we were all set for the 10 AM tour at the Robie house. Little did we know that we were not secured 2 spots at the 10 AM session. We got there and that slot was full and this was the only slot we were able to attend. We will be asking for our $54 dollars returned.
