Jade opened my eyes to the unique history of Palm Springs as expressed by the architecture. He made the neighborhood come alive with the stories of the famous people who live(d) in these amazing homes and the architects and developers who created them. I can’t wait to take one of his other tours.”
Being a native of Palms Springs, Jade has a passion and insight into the people, history, and architecture that brings to life this fab community. He is a great guide.
I was fortunate enough to be on Jade’s tour today and what a treat it was. Living in Palm Springs we take so much for granted; our beautiful mountains; lovely weather; and amazing architecture. Jade’s walking tour made me remember all the things I love about our hometown and then some; it was full of new information and stories of our city and its founders and occupants. Whether you are a visitor or a resident, don’t miss it!”
I recently spent a wonderful couple of hours with Jade guiding us on a walking tour through historic Old Las Palmas. Jade’s knowledge of the history and architecture of the neighborhood was impressive. His manner was relaxed and warm and the pace of the walk was perfect. You get to learn a lot while feeling good about yourself for getting some exercise at the same time. I highly recommend taking this and other tours with him. He is a terrific addition to the culture in PS!
