Palm Springs Mod Squad (Architecture Tours)

A must do experience if you have any interest in Mid-century Modern. Kurt is legit %100. He is a designer who has lived in the area a long time. We toured the homes of 3 Palm Springs residents. I think all are full-time residents. We were privy to every room and saw some of the most fabulous bathrooms.

Kurt's tour was fascinating, eye-opening, and information-packed! Architectural details that I would otherwise barely notice revealed their history, character, and design through Kurt's thorough and entertaining explanations. Don't miss this exploration of Palm Springs!

Fantastic detailed tour of architecturally interesting homes in PS including The Movie Colony. The host is incredibly knowledgeable about the style, era, and significance of many homes in Palm Springs.

The homes are fantastic, and the whole experience was up levelled by Kurt. He is an incredible guide, giving really interesting insights into the architecture and design in regards to both form and function. It took about 90 min which is about my general attention span, lol. Highly recommend.

My husband and I took the Martini and MCM Architecture tour last night. It is the highlight of our trip and highly recommended. We enjoyed Kurt's knowledge of the history of Palm Springs and the architecture. We loved listening to the stories connected to each of the stars' homes and the history of the Rat Pack. Thanks so much Kurt! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening! We will certainly book another tour when we return to Palm Springs!

My husband and did the essential tour with Kurt in early October when we were in Palm Springs for our anniversary. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Kurt was so pleasant and knowledgeable about the houses and Palm Springs in general. We loved getting a peek inside some of the most beautiful homes.We also loved that Kurt is so passionate about MCM architecture and found him to be a great ambassador for Palm Springs! We can't wait to return and do the martini tour!

My husband and I did the Martini and MCM Architecture tour with Kurt at the end of October. We had just gotten into Palm Springs that afternoon, so Kurt's tour was the perfect introduction to Palm Springs! We drove by some of the most famous homes in Palm Springs, such as Twin Palms (Frank Sinatra's estate) and the Kaufmann Desert House. Kurt was extremely knowledgeable of the architecture and history of the homes we saw on the tour. At the end of the tour, we sipped on martinis at Melvyn's (a place where you think "if these walls could talk" as soon as you walk in), and got to chat with Kurt and the other couple on our tour. If we ever find ourselves in Palm Springs again, we will definitely take Kurt's other tours. Thank you Kurt for your hospitality and for the wonderful introduction to Palm Springs!

Wow! We had the pleasure of taking the interior tour with Kurt today. It was fabulous! Within the first 5 minutes I felt I'd gotten my money's worth! We viewed 3 fabulous modern homes and Kurt was very knowledgable and shared the history of the area and of the mid century style in a fun and interesting way. Truly the highlight of our trip to Palm springs! Thanks so much Kurt!
