We were glad that this was included in our City Pass, because we really wanted to visit it. My parents had already been here many years ago, but for me and my sister it was our first visit. We both like architecture, so we found it really interesting. Here are a few of my observations.
- The House & Studio are an impressive location. Unique and very well preserved.
- The tour guides, which were volunteers, were extremely kind, charismatic, well-informed and patient. Unfortunately, I don’t remember our guide’s name, but he was key to making our visit memorable. He made sure we all felt welcome and listened to. We had a couple of Japanese tourists in our tour, and he even spoke a bit of Japanese to them!
- The shop has amazing (though a bit pricey) souvenirs.
- It is a bit far away from the City Downtown, but it’s easy to get here by train or bus. Plus, the house is located in a nice neighborhood.
- The tour takes about an hour. And, after you finish, don’t forget to check out the rest of the FLW houses nearby (you can only see them from the outside and from afar, but it’s worth it).
In general, this was a great experience and I highly suggest visiting!
