We took a tour when family was in town visiting. It was lovely to have the tour guide just to ourselves! He was engaging, charming and knowledgeable. We spent about two hours touring the architecturally significant Twin Palms neighborhood. So many beautiful mid-century homes and remarkable history. It was fun and informative! You needn't be an architect or a mid-century expert to enjoy or appreciate this tour. Thank you!

Awesome tour! What a fun way to learn about this truly unique Palm Springs neighborhood. Douglas knew not only the details and the history, but also fun facts and stories. He kept everyone in our group interested and engaged with his deep knowledge and charming personality. Highly recommend!

Thank you. The behind-the-scenes stories behind the history are interesting and fun to tell. Love the photo you posted of a famous "butterfly" roof.

We were searching for a fun activity for a group of friends in town for a long weekend and this tour was a perfect fit. The leisurely walk took us though a neighborhood filled with classic Mid-Century modern homes, many of which were in excellent condition and true to their original aesthetics. Our guide, Doug, was super-knowledgable with lots of details of the history, architecture and stories of the neighborhood along with Palm Springs' place in the history of the MCM home and architecture. The tour was an easy walk, well-paced and allowed plenty of time for pauses and questions. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in MCM architecture or just an interesting walk through a picturesque and historic neighborhood.
