Wonderful excursion - Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
It would have been nice to have been able to go inside or walk around a legendary property instead of staying in the vehicle the entire time.
There were some laminated pictures shown to us by the driver but difficult to see in the back seats. I suggest copies to distribute.
Overall a very nice excursion.

Best Palm Springs Tour - The tour guide was informative and funny which made for a most enjoyable tour. We learned so much about Palm Springs history. We probably will take the tour again in the future as there was a huge amount of interesting information.

A great way to see Palm Springs - The Legends and Icons Tour was a real highlight of our trip to Palm Springs. Special tip-of-the-hat to Deon in the front office. We had to switch the date of our tour so we phoned her and she handled everything smoothly, with good cheer. Service above and beyond thge call of duty. The tour itself took us through old Palm Springs, to the homes of stars of a bygone era. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, filled with anecdotes and fun facts about the homes we passed. You will be told to meet in an alley next to a parking garage near the corner of S Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Rd. Don't be freaked out at what might seem a sketchy location (alley! parking garage!). You will easily spot the Five Stars Adventure Tours bus. We had a really fun couple of hours. It was a great way to get a handle on the city.

So much fun! - It's your own Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous tour through Palm Springs with an emphasis on the Movie Colony neighborhood where everyone from Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor to Desi and Lucy and Elvis and Priscilla all owned homes at one time or another. Some are still in the families; others have been sold many times over. And there's no better tour guide than Annette, who has lived in the area for 30 years and has many fun tales to tell about her encounters with the celebs. You also hit the highlights of Palm Springs and get dining and touristing tips from Annette. Go to Farm and Trio and Sherman's Deli; skip Santorini. A great way to spend 90 minutes; you'll wish it were longer.
