Palm Springs Mod Squad Architecture Tours – Palm Springs CA

OMG Retro Roadmappers. Mod Betty just LOVES Palm Springs California! The architecture to me is what makes this such a divoon destination for any mid-century modern fan. While you can certainly just drive around and ogle the buildings, the best way I've found to really know what you're looking at is to take a tour with the Palm Springs Mod Squad.

A friendly font of knowledge about all things Palm Springs, founder Kurt Cyr will squire you around the area explaining about the neighborhoods, the house styles, the residents and more.

There are a number of tours you can take, each one with its own focus. There's the Martini and Mid Century Architecture Tour, the The Essential Palm Springs Tour and he even can do custom tours.

We opted for the Interiors Tour because we really wanted to see what some of these houses look like on the inside, and wow, what a treat.

I'm not about to spoil it for you by sharing pictures of course, as each house tour is different, but let me just tell you, it really is a special opportunity to get behind those colorful doors and see what it is like to live here in Palm Springs. We even got to meet some of the homeowners, who graciously open their homes to us!

While this is in no way a paid endorsement Mod Betty highly suggests that if you really want to get the lay of the land while in Palm Springs, you take one of Kurt's tours. Tell him Retro Roadmap sent you!
