Known as the troll capital of the world, Mount Horeb Wisconsin welcomes you to the driftless region of Wisconsin. During our visit, you’ll experience one-of-a kind restaurants and unique downtown shops. We’ll also see many of the 34 trolls throughout town and learn about the town’s unique history. You’ll also discover what shaped the landscape. A visit to Cave of the Mounds will take us underground about 50 feet for a cave tour. Enjoy an in-depth house tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin home where you’ll discover the architecture, landscaping, and furnishings of the home. After the tour enjoy a private buffet-style lunch with river views at the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center. Trip price includes overnight accommodations, all tours, breakfast at hotel, and lunch at Taliesin.

Canes or crutches are welcomed for use during the tour. There are sturdy handrails through ramp areas of the cave and on all stairs. There are several staircases but the trails in the cave are paved, mostly flat, and well lit. All Taliesin tours require a significant amount of standing, stair climbing, and walking on uneven terrain. There are several series of steps and some with no handrails.

Expect to be standing or walking for most of the two hour tour. The first 45 minutes will be spent exploring the gardens and courtyards, and the rest of the tour is spent inside the house.
