Why PS Architecture Tours?Trevor and his team are passionate, experienced and engaging architecture enthusiasts who love sharing their deep knowledge of Palm Springs architecture and history with visitors from all over the world. If you're looking for smart, friendly, informative and accommodating tour guides who can help you get the most out of your Palm Springs visit, you've come to the right place.
Where does the architecture tour meet?Scheduled tours usually begin at the official Palm Springs Visitor Center, 2901 North Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. Details will be included in your confirmation email.
Does the architecture tour include home interiors?All of the iconic architectural homes worth seeing inside are privately owned and not open to the public. Visiting Palm Springs' A-list homes requires appointments with owners who are typically paid a stipend to cover costs associated with cleaning, security and preservation. Our exterior tours are designed to give visitors an affordable, enriching, entertaining experience that offers a comprehensive introduction to Palm Springs history and architecture.
The best way to see inside the best homes and buildings is to visit during Modernism Week. Are these tours appropriate for children?These tours are not appropriate for children. They are designed for curious adult learners and, as such, occasionally contain scholarly content regarding history and modernist architecture and design. The tours are recommended for those who can sustain active interest for two hours or more.

"Worth every minute and dollar! Trevor is not only enthusiastic, knowledgeable and accommodating, he also leaves you with a desire to learn more. I had an appreciation for architecture before, but by the end of his tour I felt I could not only recognize but truly savor mid-century modern. He brings the architects and the residents to life with the stories behind everything you see, something you'll not find in a book or app."
