パーム スプリングス「ツイン パームス」ウォーキング プライベート ツアー

Great informative tour about the history of Palm Springs and architecture and design as well as a little about the Hollywood scene. Doug was great host! Would definitely recommend!!!

Absolutely fantastic tour with Doug. He is so knowledgeable and you can tell he really loves his neighborhood. Doug is so excited to share unique details about Palm Springs.

Wonderful experience with an exceptional tour guide. Learning about the architectural significance of Twin Palms and how it shaped the Palm Springs community was fascinating. This is a must walking tour!

The walking tour with Douglas Kline was an outstanding experience. The homes were fabulous and Douglas explained in detail the history of Twin Palms and gave insights on every home. He is very knowledgeable and personable. We loved that! Highly recommend this tour!

What a great way to spend a sunny morning! My husband, teenage son and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Doug walking the streets of one of Palm Springs original and most iconic neighborhoods! We met on the street corner behind the hotel (now a condominium) that was the home base for the Twin Palms development and for the next two hours were immersed in a fascinating tour that incorporated architecture, economics, literature, conservation and popular culture through the lens of the history of Palm Springs, in particular through the vision of Bob Alexander and William Krisel. The vision of these former schoolmates and professional partners is nurtured today by residents of this Palm Springs neighborhood and across the city and is brought alive by Doug’s commentary as you stroll the sundappled streets of architectural jewels. Doug is the ultimate host, from the moment he reached out to confirm our reservations and understand more about our group to customize the tour, to his recommendations for lunch after we concluded our pleasant two hour stroll. If you are at all interested in architecture, landscape design, or history, you are in for a treat with this tour. Thank you, Doug, for being a memorable contributor to our first visit to Palm Springs!

My husband and I enjoyed our informative and interesting private tour with Doug. He’s very knowledgeable about the emergence of mid-century modernism in Palm Springs. His tour concentrated on one specific neighborhood, Twin Palms, where one architect in particular, William Krisel, cleverly designed affordable and stylish homes in the 1950s. Douglas also gave us some great restaurant and local attraction ideas. Definitely recommend!

An absolute delight! Douglas was well prepared with knowledge of individual homes and their owners past and present. As someone fond of architectural touring, this was a great addition to my general knowledge about the mid-century modern era.

Douglas was a great tour guide, very passionate and knowledgeable about Twin Palms. We learned a lot about the history of Palm Springs, founding of the neighborhood, architecture and a bit of gossip as well, so we had a few laughs! We didn't know that much about mid-century modern houses, so it was very interesting. It was a beautiful day walking the neighborhood, would definitely recommend!

Our group had a great time with Doug learning about the history, architecture and development of historic Twin Palms. Doug provided a well paced, informative and enjoyable experience. We really appreciated his recommendation for dinner afterwards at an historic restaurant in the neighborhood. A fun afternoon in wonderful Palm Springs!

What a great tour of Twin Palms! I've been here for 18 years and learned so much. Doug was super fun, friendly and knowledgeable. He even knew about the wood peckers and a beautiful huge Madagascar Ocotillo Cactus we saw blooming at one of the homes. Highly recommend this tour.
