Join Michael Stern, owner of The Modern Tour, as he escorts you on a private tour of Palm Springs’ fantastic collection of midcentury modern architecture.
View the work of Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Donald Wexler, Albert Frey, and William Cody. Celebrity homes include Frank Sinatra, William Holden, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Lawford, and numerous others.
The tours feature the private residential interiors of some of Palm Springs’s most fabulous homes. The tour parties will be in separate vehicles (guests’ vehicles, or we can arrange luxury transportation for an additional fee), with two-way audio communication between the tour guide, who will lead the tours, and all parties.
The Modern Tour specializes in corporate and group tours. It has conducted tours for as many as 150 guests and groups of 10. Some of its corporate clients include Nike, Amazon, NBC, Cadillac, The Getty, YPO, Louis Vuitton, Volkswagen, Dior, Buick, Ligne Roset, Loro Piana, and many others. Many group tours are conducted in coordination with conferences in the area for both participants and spouses.
The Modern Tour shows the Albert Frey House II (“Frey House”) (1964) on select tours. This is one of the most iconic and spectacular residences in Palm Springs. Its innovative nature virtually transcends the realm of architecture, placing this home closer to the realm of art. It is a unique home on an elevated site with stunning views of the valley below. Tours included in the Frey House incur an additional fee of $25 per person. The Frey House tours are offered exclusively as an add-on to our standard tour, which features additional interiors. Frey House visitors require reservations with a minimum of 48 hours’ notice. As the official tour of the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, they are given special consideration to view the home when available.
