Palm Springs Visitor Center
Our Palm Springs audio tour begins in the parking lot of the Palm Springs Visitor Center, located at 2901 N. Palm Canyon Dr., Palm Springs, CA 92262. If you’re not there already, you should head there now. Important Note: While Palm Springs is home to many historic celebrity homes, most are hidden behind walls or fences. The tour is over 25+ miles long per tour, with more than 35+ audio stories per tour, and takes about 2-3 hours per tour to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
In just a moment, we’ll have the option to take a detour to see the Kaufmann and Liberace Houses, two of Palm Springs’ most famous homes. The detour takes about five minutes, and I’d recommend it if you’re not in a rush. To visit the houses, turn right onto West Vista Chino ahead. Otherwise, continue straight to skip the detour.

4.00It was a little cumbersome to get to the starting point for the Palm Springs route but once we got there it was good. I was hoping to hear more information about the history of the area like how is there palm trees in the middle of a desert? Is there some underground natural spring?
Great!

5.00Once we figured out the right route and trusted the process, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We learned a lot about Palm Springs, including some great celebrity hotspots and plenty of juicy gossip—apparently Frank Sinatra had a bit of a scandalous, petty side! We didn’t make it out to Joshua Tree due to time constraints, so no review on that part, but overall it was a fun and informative tour.
Informative and helpful

5.00Excellent commentary and directions. Worked perfectly even though there was no GPS signal. Nice to hear good information about the park and the celebrity homes rather than just driving through and seeing a bunch of trees and houses!

5.00There are different entrances to the Park so make sure you take enough time to download all entrance options before you leave. We thought we would go into one, but reached another entrance first and decided to take that one instead. You can see the whole or part of the park by any entrance. Just enough narration along the way. Totally beats a live tour guide who talks too much. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great tour!!!

5.00Was easy to follow. Glad the instructions they sent ahead of time said to download before we go as we went through a National Park and there was no internet service. But since it was already downloaded it worked just fine.
Great driving tour
