Palm Springs Modernism Architecture & History Bike Tour

SUMMER 2024 UPDATE: Boy, is it hot! Generally, there are no tours scheduled during the summer months, but if you're coming into town & are not terribly heat-averse, please email me directly at Brennan@ModernAndMoreTours.com for summer info. This is a small group 3-hour bike tour of 3 architecturally & historically significant neighborhoods in south Palm Springs. Quiet streets, no hills, constant sunshine, & very little traffic make for a great ride for novices or expert cyclists alike. (This is not an athletic tour, fear not!) We'll explore Deepwell Estates, Twin Palms, & Indian Canyons, making frequent stops for photos & to learn details about specific homes & architects. NOTE: BIKES ARE NOT INCLUDED! Discounted bike rentals at Big Wheel Tours. They have colorful retro cruiser bikes & e-bikes. [ I've designed this tour for serious architecture & history fans, with academic-level information & detail. So, it may not be the most enjoyable tour for some children. ]
