We had a fantastic tour with Brennan! He was very knowledgeable and with a great sense of humor. We opted to rent electrical bikes which we loved. It was so interesting to learn about old Palm Springs and see all the cool houses. Without this tour I wouldn’t have felt I had been in Palm Springs.

We thoroughly enjoyed the architectural tour of Palm Springs with Brennan! The bicycle ride was very fun and done on all flat roads. Brennan is very happy to share his knowledge with the group. He is very easy going and funny. It makes the time spent so enjoyable. There is a restroom/ coffee/ snack break halfway through. A lot of fun facts and beautiful views with fun stories throughout. Water provided and nice photo ops! Highly recommend.

We loved this tour so much! The small group made it feel extra special and personal. Brennan was amazing—so kind, patient, and full of fun facts, plus incredibly easy to talk to. It was such a peaceful and unique way to experience and learn about Palm Springs. Highly recommend!
