Private 4-hour guided architecture tour

Frank Lloyd Wright is widely recognized as one of the most influential and innovative architects in American—and global—history. Celebrated for his bold use of space, materials, and natural light, Wright reshaped modern architecture by creating buildings that feel organically connected to their surroundings. He also developed the iconic Prairie Style, inspired by the open landscapes of the American Midwest, which transformed residential design in the early 20th century.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Rookery Building (Downtown Chicago): originally designed by Burnham & Root and later reimagined by Frank Lloyd Wright, who added his signature vision to the building’s elegant, light-filled lobby.
Heller House: a striking example of Wright’s early residential work, featuring refined geometry and strong architectural character.
Robie House (Hyde Park): completed in 1910, this world-famous residence is one of Wright’s masterpieces and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It perfectly embodies the Prairie Style through its open plan, horizontal lines, and seamless integration with the surrounding

I’m the biggest fan of Fall activities, but haven’t had a chance to do anything beyond Apple Picking in NJ. I decided to take a last minute 2 day trip with a friend in Hudson Valley, but didn’t know where to start [...] Thankfully I was able to use New York Welcome to do the hard work for us [...]

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
