“Terrific tour with a great expert”
"My girlfriend and I did the Interiors Tour and it was the highlight of our trip to Palm Springs. Our tour guide, Kurt, took us into three mid century houses dotted in various neighborhoods throughout the city, all while providing a fascinating narrative about the history of the homes, the architects involved, and the design elements used. In addition to being incredibly knowlegable, Kurt's clear passion was infectious, and we learned a good amount while having a lot of fun. Highly recommend."
