5.00This tour is an informative and engaging tour which showcases the city's unique heritage. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply curious about the lives of the stars, this tour promises a memorable experience. One of the major draws of this tour is the opportunity to see the former residences of Hollywood's elite. Our Guide was extremely knowledgeable and had captivating anecdotes about the stars who once called Palm Springs home. You'll likely drive by, and learn about, the opulent hideaways of: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Leonardo Di Caprio etc. While you typically view these homes from the comfort of the tour vehicle, the detailed commentary brings their history to life, painting a vivid picture of the lavish lifestyles enjoyed by these icons. Beyond the glitz and glamour, the tour also delves into the profound history and ownership of the land by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. This aspect is crucial to understanding Palm Springs, as the Tribe has been the steward of this land for thousands of years. A must do tour. I highly reommend the Palm Springs Legends & Icons Tour as a way to explore the multifaceted history and vibrant culture of Palm Springs, which offers a compelling blend of celebrity intrigue, architectural marvels, and a deep respect for the American Indian heritage of the land.
