Activity Level
Escape to Palm Springs and discover a desert oasis where breathtaking mountain vistas meet world-renowned Mid-Century Modern design. This new experience unveils the historical richness and architectural creativity that make Palm Springs synonymous with Desert Modernism. We will begin in the heart of downtown Palm Springs to enjoy time at leisure for lunch and exploration on your own. The redesigned downtown plaza is a pedestrian-friendly district where charming "mom and pop" shops and vintage boutiques sit alongside modern brands and an array of enticing eateries. This afternoon, a knowledgeable and engaging local guide will come onboard our motorcoach and provide an exclusive insider’s driving tour focused on significant Mid-Century Modern civic and commercial buildings, as well as residential properties. We’ll cruise through multiple neighborhoods to view the exteriors of residential masterpieces like Richard Neutra’s Kaufmann Desert House and Frank Sinatra’s storied “Twin Palms” estate. We’ll admire the visionary steel homes of Wexler & Harrison and the sleek lines of William Krisel’s House of Tomorrow – famously known as “Elvis’ Honeymoon Hideaway.” We’ll see William F. Cody’s St. Theresa Catholic Church, the Mid-Century elegant Palm Springs City Hall and the futuristic Tramway Gas Station, now home to the Palm Springs Visitor Center. No visit to the Coachella Valley is complete without a stop at Hadley Fruit Orchards. Founded in 1931, this California landmark is the perfect place to shop for premium Medjool dates, dried fruit, nuts, hand-mixed trail mixes, honey, preserves, freshly-ground peanut butter and other gourmet gifts. At the snack bar is where you’ll find their world-famous date shakes!
