  This tour is well worth doing! Brennan is friendly, and enthusiastic about sharing his wealth of knowledge in a fun way about the history and homes of 3 notable Palm Springs neighborhoods. He also carries a large iPad and when you’re standing in front of one of the private-by-design historic homes, wondering what they look like inside…voila! Brennan pulls up photos for all to view. The tour moves at a good pace, leaving you with plenty of time to view homes, and keeping you engaged in the history portion. Great tour!

• Highly recommend Modern and More!

  OMG!! I highly recommend this bike tour of homes. Brennan is so knowledgeable about the history of Palm Springs and the homes that have been built there since the early 1950s. There were five of us and we loved the experience.

• Fab way to see cool architecture and beautiful gardens!

  Brennan was easy to love right out of the gate with his warm, funny personality and awesome knowledge of the architecture, pop culture history, and extensive information about the Palm Springs area. My husband, 14 yo daughter, and I all loved this tour, and will absolutely do it again when we’re back in town (which sounds like it’ll be next spring already to hear my husband talk about how he wants to bring his friends here!) Additionally, the ride was very easy and Brennan did a great job of stopping half way through for coffee, as well as frequently throughout (and in the shade!) to talk about notable homes, which made it completely manageable - even in the high 90s dry desert heat! I cannot say enough good things! You will highly enjoy this tour!

  One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had in a while! Brennan is so knowledgeable about the history of Palm Springs and so passionate about architecture. It’s a great way to see the city and learn fun facts about Palm Springs.

• The Perfect Guided Tour for the Desert Modernist- Curious!

  Brennan led a well researched and informative tour through three key districts of Desert Modernist Housing Cycling is such a great way of exploring the neighbourhoods, as its unobtrusive and also keeps you cool. Brennan's passion really shines through and we learned so much - where celebrities lived, how Palm Springs came to be built, and how it grew and developed it's distinctive design of housing I took this tour right at the beginning of my stay, and it was a perfect introduction - and it was interesting how some of the architects covered emerged elsewhere in the town later on in my trip. Although I am an architecture fan, and work in housing as well, I think Brennan has the pitch just right for both the beginner and the expert - and there's lots of time for questions. The trip was about three hours with a comfort break at a trendy coffee shop. The pace is Bice and slow, with lots of time to take photographs. The cycle hire is additional, but was only about $25 or so on top of the tour price - and the guys in the cycle shop are super friendly, so the whole tour runs smoothly.

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Palm Springs history on wheels

  This was a fabulous time with a fabulous guide, Brennan. The content is a mix of architectural history, city planning, Golden Age of Hollywood, and insider gossip. Honestly the 2.5 hours passed so quickly and we could have kept going. The bike riding part is very easy as the area covered is basically flat. We were on broken down bikes from our hotel and we managed fine. The heat is an issue though, so make sure you bring water and sunscreen. Wearing a hat that covers your neck and maybe light long sleeves would make it more comfortable. There is shade along the way, but not always.

• A fun morning exploring Palm Springs!
