Bathrooms available before and during the tour. Lots of celebrity memorabilia to entertain you prior to the tour. There is even a tv in the bathroom... We board the super comfy bus that accommodates about 30 stalkers, err, guests. Each seat has a great view during the tour and the bus is high enough to peer over the stone fences that a lot of the house have. I know, invasive but the architecture is mid century amazing. Anne has an incredible data bank of info on all mostly the older Hollywood community. If you are not into star gazing, go for the cool houses/gardens. There has been an enclave of mid century slick remodels in PS and they are featured in the tour. Anne is also a solid sales lady. The date Shake place we stopped at was super low key but amazing. The tour includes your own deliciously prepared date shake made from ice cream and some yummy date I cannot remember the name of. Also, date tasting is included and boy do they make them gooood. So much so, I purchased two packages of shake dates due Anne's description of their medicinal benefits and the grocery store amazing friendly staff. Yes, they turned in the charm. BTW, The dates and I just landed in Portland for my future enjoyment. The topper was watching Anne maneuver the detour signs and traffic caused by the light parade in PS tonight. She really understands how to get out of a pickle. Obviously, highly recommend.

When visiting Palm Desert in mid-February, the concierge recommended the Legends & Icons tour with…read moreFive Star. We met up with Annette and her sprinter van which was packed to the gills! We got the very last seats in the back with our friends. It was an unseasonably cold day with pouring rain. PS gets 1-4" rain per year, and received 1" of that on the day of our tour! Annette said the heat was on (and I did feel it further upfront when disembarking), but I was freezing the entire time in the last set of seats. The tour itself was good - Annette was full of stories and very entertaining. We were glad we opted for a guided tour like this versus a self-guided walking tour. It lasted close to 2 hrs and costs $130/person. Note that the tour did NOT include the tour of the Rat Pack Hideway specifically listed on their website tour description spelled out below. The asterisk they added just lists the people who partied and played, and the elongated plus sign was probably meant to be a disclaimer that we may not see this property, but there is no such disclaimer or explanation of that symbol anywhere that I could find on their site. "The Rat Pack Hideaway: Tour the private property of The Rat Pack Hideaway, where Frank, Dino, and Sammy partied and played.*† ( We are the only company given access to exclusive movie star properties.)" Regardless, the tour was good with lots of info and recommendations for places to eat and explore further (although covered so quickly the none of us could recall specifics after we left!) It was hard to see much of some homes, hidden behind gates/landscaping. A tour of an actual home, such as the Rat Pack hangout, would have been awesome.

We got to meet our hostess Rosemary, had fun dressing up, and taking pictures with her before our tour started. She was a wonderful guide and we learned so much about the rich history of Palm Springs. She also threw out recommendations for restaurants and activities to do while we were in the area, which we really appreciated. It was a smooth ride around town in their air conditioned bus. We were provided with fans and water bottles as well. Bonus that you can bring your own alcohol! We each brought a cup of wine with lids with us. And don't forget to tip your hostess!

I wanted to check if I could have my small dog with me before booking the tour and they were very easy to reach and communicate with by email. Booking the tour online was easy and when they had to move the tour up by a half hour they reached out to ensure that worked with our scheudle. We arrived a few minutes before the start of our tour and were able to meet Kevin and our tour guide Rosemary and take some fun pictures. The tour bus and driver are great! We had so much fun seeing the sights, hearing stories and learning about the history of Palm Springs. The tour took us past iconic homes, landmarks and the highlights of the tour which for us were Robolights and the Trixie Motel since we had watched the renovation show. This tour was a blast!

We recently had the opportunity to visit Palm Springs for a few days. My wife and I brought our own…read moree-bikes along, and so we followed the local bike trails that we knew. For lunch we made a stop at Sherman's Deli which shouldn't be missed. Upon starting our 6 mile ride back to the hotel, we discovered that one of our bikes had a rear flat tire. It's always the rear, isn't it? What could be harder to change than a rear flat on a 65 lb e-bike, assuming I had brought a wrench. I could have ridden back solo, brought back the car and bike rack, picked up the broken bike and then drove back to the hotel. But, then we'd still have a bike with a flat with a few more days left in our trip. (sigh)... Hoping for the best, we did a Google search for bike shops in the area. That's when we found BIKE Palm Springs nearby. They were a bike rental shop, but maybe they'd help us. I rode the working bike over to BIKE PS and asked, and they said "no problem"! About 20 minutes later, Tony had put in a new heavy duty up-graded tube, replacing our thin standard tube that wouldn't hold up to the 'goat heads' that can be found on the trail, and had us ready to go again. We had some time to look their shop over while we waited - great helpful staff, clean shop, and nice well-maintained RAD and Aventon E-bikes. You couldn't ask for much more, we've ridden both in the past and liked them. So a big thank you to Tony and the rest of the staff that helped us at BIKE Palm Springs. You saved our day!

We are glad that we were able to find this service because we did not want to be on a bus tour. We like the idea of being able to have a private tour. We took the Mid-Century Modernism Tour. Our guide, Jack, was very professional and courteous. He was very informative and humorous at the same time, speaking in a dulcet tone; would be great in broadcasting. We liked that the tour was very interactive and we could ask Jack questions and he glibly answered them. We enjoyed checking out all the landmarks and various neighborhoods to get a sense of what Palm Springs was about (a really interesting and welcoming desert oasis for sure!). When we come back to Palm Springs, we are going to check out Jack's other tours.

Jack A. would be our guide for a 2 1/2 hour tour of celebrities homes and local places of interest. The problem was that we did not know when we would get into town. Jack A was completely flexible with the times and ended up giving us a night tour. Jack was knowledgeable with not only the homes but also the stories of celebrities' true experiences. His information flow was non-stop and very interesting. Also, he had a professional quality voice. He allowed us to dally or get out of the car he provided. He was patient and accommodating. The cost was very, repeat very, affordable for our group of 3 and I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Palm Springs. I doubt most of the residents know what we do. Thank you, Jack, for a great tour!
