"Fallingwater cannot be understood until you've experienced it. It is
nothing like its photos. It is a livable space that impacts and changes the
way life is experienced. The photos are all taken with a wide lens that
distorts. George's trip is the one to take. It's first-class all the way,
and gave us an additional esthetic experience to match our Fallingwater
experience. At scheduled restaurants, we were able to order whatever we
wanted to eat. This trip was an unforgettable experience. "I was only vaguely familiar with homes designd by
Frank Lloyd Wright. The Fallingwater Tour educated and delighted me. With my
former careers in engineering and geology, I immediately recognized Wright's
forward thinking, engineering innovation, and artistry with geology. Now I
know where ideas for certain features in today's houses originated. The tour
of vivacious Pittsburgh and the serene "Usonian" homes nicely bookended an
easily doable trip that included comfortable lodging, impressive
restaurants, good company, and Pennsylvania scenery only a geologist would
love." "The trip was educational, informative and very well
run and organized. For quite some time I wanted to see the Fallingwater
House and this was an excellent opportunity.
