Worth the stop in Oak Park! - Great historical and architectural info. Nice docent. Small group of about 10 people. Each stop of the tour felt adequate, not rushed. Nice gift shop too. Great walkable neighborhood.

Highly recommend Frank Lloyd Wright studio and home tour - Very well organized, and guide was very knowledgeable. Small groups and they had printed copies of the presentation in many languages, very much enjoyed it. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood afterwards, looking at his other work

Interesting and beautiful - Very interesting tour, providing in depth exposure to Wright’s ideas and designs. Does require standing for about an hour and going up and down stairs. Ask for a chair and in certain rooms, one can be provided.

No - Viator is poor at booking. It’s an elaborate process and it’s not coordinated with the activity’s venue. In future, I’ll go directly to to activity’s website.

Well worth the trip to Oak Park! - Even for people with limited knowledge of architecture, the tour of Wright's home and studio was informative and fascinating. The self-guided walking tour of the 10 nearby private homes was wonderful too.
