Private Architecture Tours
Experience an intimate, educational, entertaining, and behind the scenes visit to some of Palm Springs’ most notable midcentury modern landmarks with an experienced and knowledgeable escort, Tommy the Tour Guide.
The Midcentury Highlights Tour is a two-hour adventure visiting neighborhoods including Little Tuscany Estates, Vista Las Palmas, Old Las Palmas, the Uptown and Downtown districts, the Historic Tennis Club, and the Movie Colony. You’ll see the work of key architects that shaped our midcentury vibe like Albert Frey, E. Stewart Williams, William Krisel, William F Cody, Donald Wexler, Hugh Kaptur and many others.
Tommy partners with experienced private drivers of luxury SUVs or can join you in your own vehicle to direct you along the tour route.

In a word, FABULOUS!
– Donna C. from Toronto, Canada
Tommy made our tour so personal, special, and informative. He knew so much about all the elements of midcentury modern architecture, and kept the tour interesting and fresh while supplying us with dates and juicy celebrity tidbits on all the beautiful gems. We felt like royalty and would highly recommend!

Our tour was absolutely worth every penny. Tommy’s professionalism, warmth, and friendliness made us feel like we were out with a friend. If you want to know all about Palm Springs and brilliant architecture, this tour is the one.
– Sue R. from Australia
We have guests coming to visit in early December and they were asking about architectural tours in Palm Springs. Naturally we want them to have the best, so we immediately thought of the tour we did with you last spring.
