The Modern Tour - Palm Springs

I took this tour for the first time in 2016. I was so impressed with it that when I had guests from out of town visiting, I took it for a second time last November with my guests. I have to say even a second time it is one of the best tours I have been on. Michael's commentary and knowledge makes it a real treat. Even the second time around there was very little duplication. My guests and I had a wonderful time. If you love modern architecture and want to see inside some spectacular places, this is the tour for you. I highly recommend it and wouldn't be surprised if I do it again one day.

For any lover of mid century modern architecture and design this tour is a must. To see and go inside homes I had ogled in photos online was a surreal and truly amazing experience. This tour has the access to the iconic homes you want to see and the knowledge of and passion for the period. The best part of my trip to Palm Springs and would recommend to all mcm lovers visiting Palm Springs. Anyways, I need to move here now!

This tour is a must for Palm Springs. Michael is so knowledgeable about all things Palm Springs and modern aesthetics . The tour was over four hours and we saw some of the best!

Amazing tour if you are into mid-century architecture. Learned new things about Palm Springs and the three houses we visited (inside and outside) on the tour were gorgeous. Michael did a great job. Highly recommended.

What made this tour special was that it allowed for a look at the interiors of three modern homes from various periods. The driving tour of the various neighborhoods and the explanation of the design philosophy and how it fit the environment and history of the area were great, but we felt only by getting the "inside look" allowed an understanding of what it feels to live inside one of the homes, and why the design is so well suited to the environment. Michael Stern was knowledgeable and entertaining, and we really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.

Michael did a wonderful tour of some amazing houses! We especially enjoyed seeing the interiors of these incredible gems! I highly recommend the tour to anyone who has an interest in architecture !

We absolutely loved our tour with Michael. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, full of witty conversation and insider knowledge. This tour was an absolute pleasure and would highly recommend to any modernism fans!

This was my 5th or 6th tour with Michael. He always does a great job of explaining the history and nuances of mid century modern architecture and he gets exclusive access to homes that would otherwise be unavailable for viewing. Every time I do a tour with Michael I get new ideas for my own home. Anyone visiting Palm Springs should take one of his tours.
