Frank Lloyd Tours in Chicago?

Are there any guided tours offered for the Frank Lloyd Wright works in Oak Park? I know that there is a tour of Robie House, but can't seem to find any information on a tour of the Oak Park neighborhood. ANy other suggestions for Chicago fun are welcome as well. Thank you.

Check out the website for the Chicago Architecture Foundation www.architecture.org. I haven't personally taken one of these tours but they have some listed for Frank Lloyd Wright.

I took my sister and her boyfriend on the Architecture Foundation's Frank Lloyd Wright tour. You meet downtown at the Hancock Building (the AF has a small shop on the lower level) and a bus takes you to Oak Park for a walking tour of the houses (including Wright's house and studio) and Unity Temple. We enjoyed it. The docents were very well informed.

There are tours offered of the Wright home and studio in Oak Park as well as a walking tour of Oak Park. We went directly to the home and took a tour there and then took the walking tour. Both were very interesting. Also loved the Architectural Boat Tour.
