Palm Springs Mod Squad offers intimate, design-focused tours led by local expert Kurt Cyr, showcasing the city's iconic mid-century modern architecture. With small group sizes and insider access, guests explore architectural gems ...
Kurt clearly knows his stuff when it comes to mid-century modern architecture in Palm Springs. Reviewers consistently praise his deep knowledge of design, history, and the fascinating stories behind the homes and their famous former residents. The tours feel intimate and personal thanks to small group sizes in his van, with many guests appreciating the insider access to private homes and stunning interiors. He's described as charismatic, enthusiastic, and entertaining, making what could be a dry architectural lecture into an engaging experience that appeals to both design professionals and casual enthusiasts. The tours come in different varieties including the Essential tour, Interiors tour, and a fun Martini and Mod option that weaves in cocktail history with the architecture. Most guests found the pacing perfect at around 90 minutes, though one visitor felt it was a bit rushed with information overload and too many quick stops. That seems to be the exception though. Whether you're looking at stunning bathrooms, learning about the Rat Pack, or discovering architectural details you'd normally miss, Kurt creates a memorable experience that guests often call the highlight of their Palm Springs visit.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Interior/Essential Tour with Kurt from Palm Springs Mod Squad! Kurt was an exceptional and charismatic guide, sharing incredibly interesting insights and knowledge that brought the tour to life. The small group size made it feel personal and relaxed, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Everything was perfectly organized, from the smooth and friendly pickup to the drop-off at the agreed location. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palm Springs!
