Mr. John Powell was a great tour guide with many interesting anecdotes. As an aside, the email that I received prior to the tour sent me to the incorrect meeting place. This should be corrected.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a load of new context surround FLW and his style that my partner and I were unaware of. Thanks!

Very beautiful building . Tour was very informative . Only problem was a wedding was booked the same time as our tour, but our tour guide managed . Also the tour of the Monona Terrance Building Tour was almost at the same time and we had to cut that tour short to get to the Unitarian meeting house .

We came on a day when someone had also scheduled a wedding so our tour kind of rambled backwards through the normal route. The docent sometimes seemed confused and had trouble opening several doors. When going outside I couldn't hear our guide because they faced the structure instead of the group. I've seen several FLW properties but this was my least informative. Considering we had to constantly work around the wedding party and the overall slipshoddiness of the tour I left disappointed. I don't feel this was a good value for the price paid.
