Annette was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and informative. It was so fun to see the homes and haunts of the stars from the past. Also- great to learn about the Indians and palm trees of the area. Definitely a fun thing to do when you are trying to get out of the heat.

The tour operator, Annette, was extremely friendly, timely and informative. Instructions to the meeting place and general communications were excellent as was the comfortable tour bus and the smallness of the group. We learned a lot about Palm Springs and some past and present famous icons during this tour. A few things we did not understand: (1) the tour instruction advises participants to wear comfortable shoes - our assumption was that at some point along the tour we would be getting off of the bus, either for a short walk or photo opportunity and/or some brief closer look at an artifact, residence or building; (2) Annette’s repeated emphasis on the Indian tribes’ ownership of Palm Springs’ land was, while factual, delivered in a way that I took as slightly condescending - more of a matter of contempt than celebration for their ability to continue land ownership and control. She did provide some helpful explanation of the complicated relationship between Indian land ownership and the political and business environment of Palm Springs. Anyway, it was a good enough tour even with those shortcomings and we are glad we went.

Annette knew a lot of local history and inside scoop. She was great! But it’s difficult to see from the middle/back seats and many of the references were of stars we’ve never heard of bc they’re from so long ago ( as I peer at their hedges). Not worth the $150 pp IMO.

Anette was fabulous. Hands down one of the best experiences. My sister and I were so impressed by all of her knowledge. Loved the occasional jokes added in!

Annette, our guide/driver made the tour so enjoyable with her many anecdotes and little known information about Palm Springs and the people who lived there. Great afternoon. Learned a lot.

Sherri_H

Learning about how Palm Springs came to be and the rich and famous residents of the area. Our driver, Annette, was very friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable.

Sandy_K

Celebrity back stories. Knowledge about the area. Good recommendations. Guide had a fun personality.

Gwendolyn_C

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.

Taffey_M

Our tour guide Annette was very enthusiastic and entertaining. She explained the sites of interest and added personal notes which made the experience more notable. She also showed us pictures of what places used to look like which added another layer of interest. Overall, it was a great tour and one that will we definitely recommend to friends. A big thumbs up!

Ada_K

Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and witty. Our party included to adults and one child and everyone enjoyed it.
