Reviews
"Taliesin is a fantastical place that stands the test of time. Built over a century ago, you can not help but feel you are standing in a structure that seems like it was just built yesterday; but is still centuries ahead of its time. The Taliesin Preservation does an amazing job keeping this place and Frank Lloyd Wright's vision alive. Exploring the expansive property, you will see how well his architecture is influence by nature, naturally intertwined with it, so that it too will stand the test of time just as nature does. You are able to explore this expansive property and learn about the Hillside architecture school, the beautiful residents and dormitories, and of course Taliesin itself through the many tours offered. If you want to go deeper and experience an immersion into Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin, then consider the variety of workshops curated and influenced by Wright's vision that the Taliesin Preservation brings to fruition. It will be hard to leave Taliesin without a feeling of gratitude and a deeper appreciation for architecture and nature."
"I was an Art student back in the day and for as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with Frank Lloyd Wright. We took a 1 1/2 hour tour of his home. The tour guide was outstanding! The house was amazing and the in depth stories of his life were so interesting. I was left wanting to see and hear more! If we get to return we will definitely take the Estate tour which takes about 3 hours. The amount of people on each tour is limited so definitely buy your tickets in advance."
"Excellent tours offered of the Frank Lloyd Wight estate. There are several tour choices that from 90 minutes to 4 hours. The welcome center. Is inviting ADA facilities, cafe and gift shop. The guides are cordial, knowledgeable, friendly, and relaxed. Our guide, Craig, was entertaining and encouraged conversation. The Frank Lloyd Wright estate is a must see in Spring Green, Wisconsin. (45 minutes from Wisconsin Dells)."
"Visit this gem with 23 of your closest new friends - impressive what they can cover on the highlights tour. Would love to return for an event. Wish the 4 hour one would be broken up with lunch in the cafe so one could absorb the morning sights before haunting into another two hours. Even after touring two other tours, this one made FLW more relatable, less icon of architecture, and more Midwest nice and family centric. #FLWgetyourashesbacktowi"
"Absolutely incredible!!!! We have been thinking about going on this tour for longer than I can remember. No idea why we waited. We're not particularly fans of architecture or FLW but we loved every minute of the tour and learned fascinating info! Dewey was our tour guide and he made the tour incredible. Great stories!!!!"
