Expensive (as all of these are), but worth the price. On the audio tour you see the public spaces - anywhere the students would have gone, but not private living quarters. Audio tour is well paced, and you can hang back to let groups pass for best photo opportunities (there's decent spacing as everyone moves at his/her pace). Recording at times verges on hagiography (FLW was in some ways a petty tyrant), but then this is a sanctioned version, lol. Fascinating man, always fascinating architecture, and they do point his shortcomings - he was not s structural engineer, nor an ergonomist! Stunning in conception and a place of real beauty even at 100 degrees.

Another of Frank Lloyd Wrights masterpieces! Worth the visit for sure. We took the self guided tour, and they will supply headphones for your phone. It was well done and worth the visit. The gift shop was an adventure as well. Part of the tour is outside and the home sits in the desert so plan accordingly! You must order your tickets in advance for both guided and self guided tours. There is no RV parking here.

The tour is excellent, nothing needs to be said about the house. It is simply brilliant. Booking in advance is needed, don't expect to just turn up on the day. There is a DIY audio tour available but I recommend the guided tour as I think it includes more and is excellent.

We loved visiting this beautiful compound ! The architecture is amazing and it is so well maintained with gorgeous landscaping and artwork. Our tour guide , Frank, gave one of the best tours we’ve had anywhere. He is passionate about the site and Frank Lloyd Wright. He is enthusiastic, funny and articulate and brought everything to life. This is really worth going to even for people who aren’t FLW fans.

Through the expertise of Justine, our tour guide, we learned a great deal about Frank Lloyd Wright, and his fascinating winter home, Taliesin West. This also became his architectural school where his apprentices not only learned under Wright, but also helped build and maintain the buildings. This is a walking tour with many opportunities to stop and sit while hearing interesting details. It is definitely worth the time to visit!

We did the sunset tour. It was amazing and so worth the visit. We learned about Wrights 4 pronged philosophy in architecture, and the guide let us see his property through his eyes. The sunset was spectacular. The tour was an hour long. It was very memorable. Do not miss visiting this site. The sculptures in the garden area at the entrance were beautiful and stirred the soul.

This is a really interesting landmark. I've always loved architecture (all kinds) and it was really cool to see a home designed by one of the preeminent architects of the 20th century. The home has lots of clever and unique design features and beautiful spaces. There's a nice gift shop with lots of options, and most items based on Wright's designs. We took the guided tour, which lasts about 90 minutes. There are modern, clean restrooms, a fountain to fill your water bottle, and they even have loaner umbrellas (first come, first serve) to shield you from the desert sun. I do recommend booking ahead online if you want a guided tour, as those book up well in advance. The only reason I gave Taleisin West 4 stars instead of 5 is the cost. It was $50 per person for our tour. We did a 2 hour guided tour of a wildlife conservation park a few days before, and it was not only longer, but more dynamic and only $35 pp. I used to give downtown walking tours in Nantucket that were similar in length, included about a dozen stops and only costs $20 pp. And Nantucket is one of the most expensive places on earth! I was hoping to visit Taleisin in Wisconsin at some point, but I just looked it up and their 2 hour tour is almost $70. I'm not sure why they charge so much more than similar sites, but I probably won't be visiting the Wisconsin FLW home at that price.

Amazing Frank Lloyd Wright property. Took an in-depth tour which as totally worth it. Great for architecture buffs. Beautifully restored and maintained. A true jewel in th desert

Really enjoyed the audio tour. It was well produced even if a little wordy at times. Takes just over an hour. We had a 2.and 3/4 year old toddler with us but she did great, we timed it outside of meal or nap times. Museum shop was fun as it had a lot of neat gifts even if a little pricey but quite unique so we spent a little in there.

What an interesting place! We joined a guided tour and the guide was VERY informative. Like other Frank Lloyd Wright homes we have visited, this property is a marvel of bringing the nature in and placing the home in its natural surroundings. The story of its design, build and purpose is fascinating. I think teens would enjoy it, not so sure about smaller children. The guided tour is 90 minutes long, but well worth the time and cost. You can do a self-guided tour as well, but I would highly recommend the guided tour.
