Grant and Audrey –
We loved getting a glimpse into where it all began for Frank Lloyd Wright. It was so cool to see the home he designed for his family and his studio. Our tour guide, Roy, was so informative and could tell us anything we wanted to know about the place. We also found out that there were over 80 homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in this area and explored some of them. Great experience!

Our tour guide, Ashley, could not have been better! She was totally knowledgeable about the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio history and gave many insights and interesting pieces of information along the way. The ride was smooth and comfortable. Overall, a wonderful afternoon learning about architectural history.
Arthur –
Fans of American architect FLW will certainly enjoy this tour. Sean, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Felt like we stepped back in history. He did an excellent job of comparing Wright’s work to that of other architects of the period.
