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.

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.

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