MCM by golf cart
Went with friends. Fun morning (early 8am but better to avoid the mid-day heat) ride in golf cart to learn about Palm Springs architecture. We got individual radios (to hear the guide), water, and hand fans. The guide Tony is an architect enthusiast and was energetic in his delivery. At the various stops outside, we were shown photos of the interiors as well as historical photos which provided great context. Highlight was surprise access into one of the private homes' backyard/pool to view. Tour was a little under 2 hrs and we got a parting momento.
