Excellent tour guide, very interesting house and history - Did the one-hour inside tour (snowing outside the day we went). Ran about 10 minutes over since the tour guide had so much information to share. Incredible story about this luxurious, ground-breaking design for 1909. This was our first Frank Lloyd Wright visit, will start to visit his other houses.

Not to be missed if you go to Chicago!! - If you are an architect you MUST visit this house and take the tour. A lot is known about the design, architect and dynamics of the house. It is very worthwhile to get away from the city center and get to know this area.

Knowledgeable tour of Frank Lloyd Wright - Guide was knowledgeable and passionate not only about Robie House, but about Frank Lloyd Wright as well as the Hyde Park area. The Robbie house is a wonderful building!

Robie House tour - It was very informative. I learned a lot about Frank Lloyd Wright and how his designs blend inside and outside elements. Also about the history of Robie House and how it almost demolished but was saved.

Poor website info - Your website did not alert me to the fact that we had to be at the Rob house at certain hours. We got there at 4 o’clock thinking we could just tour the place. We ended up having to spend $150 to get a tour as the only option. I would like a refund. Your website did not alert us to any of these problems.
