My husband and I took this tour this morning. Jeff, our driver and tour guide, did an excellent job of pointing out various celebrity homes in the area and provided an in depth knowledge of the history of the celebrity homes and also points of interest in the city. A mid-tour stop at a market for a delicious date milk shake was a treat. This tour enabled one to see celebrity homes of days past that would take a good deal if time to duplicate on your own. I highly recommend this tour. Well worth the time and money.
This is an excellent tour. Anne was our driver and guide and was a hoot!Drove us all over Palm Springs looking at all these great celebrity houses in this town. She gave us the history on the dates that are grown here. Stopped up in Palm Desert for a date shake. This tour is an excellent value. Comfortable coach bus too. Thanks again!
Second time on the tour. Couldn’t see anything from the back of the bus. If tour guide could be more specific on which house she was talking about it would have know. Had no clue in most cases which house. What color house would have been helpful. She needed to be more specific. I brought family on tour with me because I liked the first tour so much. This one was so disappointing:(
Our tour was so fun and educational. Our driver Gary is such a nice guy and funny, and a great driver. Our guide John and his knowledge of Palm Springs, and celebrity knowledge was very impressive. They make a great team. I can tell they love what they do. Id definitely recommend this tour to anybody. And the date shake was amazing.
This is just the best fun couple of hours. Anne Hall, the tour guide has a load of stories of the Hollywood celebrities and many more current people as well. She knows just about everything going on and where it is located in the valley. This was my third time hosting a visiting guest to enjoy the trip. My friend thought of this as the highlight of her week here....our retirement gift to her. Do this trip again and again.
I have a wonderful tine. The driver was on point meaning he’s very humorous he was very extremely friendly and we had fun with the crew that was on the bus we told a lot of jokes you know and he did driver Was excellent. he did more than his part. actually he’s a good driver very humorous and likable . He is very dedicated to his work.!!I’ll be back again soon so he get a 10+ for that trip. But they’re only five stars
Whether you are a first time or regular visitor to the Palm Springs area, I highly recommend this tour!! Fun and highly informative. I enjoyed every minute of it. Well worth the time and price of admission! The date shakes were a very nice treat, as well.
Our tour was conducted by Anne yesterday. She was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable about her subject. We loved her personal anecdotal approach to sharing stories about Hollywood Legends. Her personal touch was greatly appreciated! Thank you for an awesome experience! We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family! 😀
We really enjoyed our guide, Anne. Her ability to remember so much information and to be able to convey it in a fun and interesting way was amazing! And to do that all while driving a full sized bus down streets no wider than an alley with twists and turns was unbelievable!The date milkshake was a refreshing break!!The only downfall was there was too much reflection on the windows, not sure how that can be remedied.Otherwise it was an A+ tour.
We had a great time on our tour. Anna the bus driver was so knowledgeable and very informative. She kept everyone on the bus entertained. She even asked if there was any special place that we wanted to see before we left. We highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you for making us have a great time.
I enjoyed the whole experience with Anne as tour guide. Every moment was filled with information and interesting facts. Wish I had brought my notebook. She revealed that her actual name is Annie Hall...fits !Will take this or other Celeb Tours again. I am visiting from Ohio
FUN!!! Tour guide/driver was engaging, entertaining, personable, and highly knowledgeable. This was my second tour with Celebrity Tours and found it just as interesting as the first time. A MUST SEE event for anyone visiting the area for the first time, steeped in Palm Springs history and facts you wouldn’t learn anywhere else.
Fabulous tour! Rick is an engaging tour guide with a lifetime of experience in Palm Springs. We saw 50+ celebrity homes and enjoyed many more stories. One of the best ever tours. Thank you.
Anne was a great tour guide, filled with knowledge and a delight to be with. Two in my group are licensed tour guides in Washington DC, for over 40 years, so we know what makes a good tour guide. The date shakes were an added bonus.
My husband and I had a great time on the tour. Our guide and driver, Anne was quite informative and was able to share history, celebrity trivia along with architecture facts about homes and places of interest. We would never have seen and learned so much on a self guided tour! Thanks!
Very much enjoyed this tour. Had hoped to book an architectural tour but they were all booked up. Thought I was not particularly interested in the celebrities but Ann changed my mind. History, local info, lots of beautiful homes and definite pride in her town made it a lovely afternoon.
The bus was too cold. I let Jeff know and he tried to help but his solution did not fix the problem. He could have just adjusted the temperature but it didn’t feel like he did.He talked too much as well. Lots of useless info in my opinion. I personally don’t need to know how many bathrooms and bedrooms are in each home. I also didn’t like the way he described each celebrity home because he left us guessing until the very end who’s house it is or was. Just give us the facts and take a break from the commentary.We were a half an hour late getting back.Jeff seems like a nice guy who loves what he does. It’s just not the right tour for me.
Jeff was an excellent and informative tour guide. The only glitch we had was a problem with the bus’s AC system. We were baking on the first half of the tour. Jeff kept at it and found a fix and then gave us some extra time after the stop for the date shakes. Overall very enjoyable afternoon.
The tour was perfect. The bus was clean, comfortable and relaxed. Our tour guide/driver, Jeff was entertaining and knowledgeable. Never a dull moment and so many things to see.
Jeff, the driver, was funny, full of information, and really knew his stuff. We were engaged throughout and consider the Tour well worth our money and time. Thank you!
The guide was wonderful. Full of facts & stories. Even some humor. So much that she went at times too fast for my old brain to grasp. Also wished she repeated the names rather than using pronouns. But overall, could not be a better tour of Palm Springs.
John Stark was an entertainment journalist in Boston and San Francisco. He was our guide and did a wonderful job of telling us stories of the celebrities and about the architecture of the houses. It is a recommended tour. Wonderful
We enjoyed taking a bus tour to see homes of past Hollywood celebrities. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided personal obscure insight about each celebrity “back in the day.” The free date shakes were outstanding!One drawback was the cold temperature in our particular bus, even after the driver tried to make a personal adjustment to individual overhead control knobs for my wife’s and mom’s seat. My overhead knob where the air comes out above the window along the side was missing and all I felt were wires. I’m not cold natured and I was also cold.Also if sitting in the back row driver’s side, anything to the right of the bus is partially blocked when the tour guide is talking about something on that side.
We had a wonderful time on our Celebrity Tour.We took out of town friends who had never been to Palm Springs. They were amazed at the information Ann, our driver, had and how many celebrities had lived in the area.It was the perfect tour to go on during their short time in the area. They were here for just two nights and one full day.
Jeff was awesome! He gave a wonderful tour of the stars’ homes in Palm Springs and is very detailed in his presentation. Highly recommend. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely.
This was the most interesting tour we have ever been on. Our driver Jeff made it so interesting not only for the movie or the people of the homes but of so much of the history of how Palm Springs came to be in the surrounding area. My sister-in-law from Tennessee and I would totally recommend this tour to be done by anyone. May you continue to share the legend of Palm Springs too many others.
Anne gave us a great tour of Palm Springs! She knows so much about the history, fun celebrity tidbits and customized to the requests we threw out. The date shakes were a wonderful treat along the way.
We thoroughly enjoyed the PS Celebrity Tour yesterday. Jeff was fun, funny, entertaining and very professional. Whenever I have guests visiting me, I’ll tell them your tour is the first thing to schedule on their list of “to do’s”.
John was a great tour guide while Gary was a terrific driver. They made the tour fun and entertaining. John had a lot of personal experiences with many of the stars back then. It was worth the tour.
Far more interesting then I would have thought possible! Our tour guide Jeff was absolutely amazing with the knowledge he has with regards to the city and people history of Palm Springs. Would go again!
Jeff is very knowledgeable about the celebrity houses in Palm Springs. He is engaging and has interesting stories to tell. He also knows a lot about the history which added to the tour.The one disappointment was that it was hard to see some of the homes, especially from the righthand side. I’m not sure what can be done but it was difficult at times.The visit to the date place for dates shakes was also a highlight. All in all, a good tour for the money.
Easy to make reservation online. Tour left right on time. Our guide Jeff was very knowledgeable and even went over time a bit. The complimentary date shake was also a plus!
It was a great tour & our guide, John, was very knowledgeable. He provided us with interesting stories related to the MidCentury Modern Homes, their architects & the celebrity residents. Very good Palm Springs History.
Jeff was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the celebrities’ homes. I would retake the tour when I’m back in Palm Springs. And the date shake was a great treat.
Our guide, Jeff, was knowledgeable and very pleasant. We learned interesting tidbits about the celebrities whose homes we saw. Stopping for a complimentary date shake was a very nice perk!
My wife and I went on Jeff’s 1:30 pm tour today!This tour was excellent! Jeff is so knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour👍🏻
Fun and highly engaging tour. Great tour bus with AMAZING tour guide who knew so much. Good trip if you’re only here for a weekend.
Anne was our driver and she was awesome. She was so informative and definitely threw in some comedy. Great tour and would recommend it.
Extremely knowledgeable tour guide, a wealth of information. We learned so much history and so many hidden gems in Palm Springs area. look forward to telling our friends about it to make sure they go. We live here full time but we are recent transplants. Thank you thank you thank you
The driver gave us lots of interesting information. She also had a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed the tour!
Rick was hands down the most amazing and knowledgeable tour guide! Native to the area and he really knows his stuff! Worth every single penny!!! Must see! Ask for RICK!!
I have lived here over 40 years and learned so much from the tour! The tour is on a clean bus and no walking is required. A date shake is included at half way point. I took 3 guests and we all loved it!
Great tour with Jeff. I have been on the tours a few times over the years but this one was new in many ways- so I learned a lot.Love those date shakes
Our tour guide Jeff was awesome! He had the best stories, super engaging and absolutely hilarious! Will definitely do this tour again!
There was a lot of interesting information shared by our guide Jeff, not just about celebrities, but the city of Palm Springs which was really great.The problem was that he liked to playing a ridiculous guessing game for the entire tour.This involved describing the former occupants of the home we was near and then driving away as we either guessed who it was or he had to tell us.Sometimes we where 2 or 3 houses away from the home in question, before we found out who had actually lived there. At best we had to strain our necks to look behind us. I would have much preferred to know who lived there either before or as I got to the home in question.Also we were near the back of the coach and often didn’t have a clue which house he was talking about.Some of the houses where difficult to see because of walls and hedges, but that’s not the tour company’s fault, it just comes with the territory.On the positive side Jeff was very entertaining, apart from the guessing game, the coach was nice and we enjoyed the date shakes, but otherwise a bit disappointing.
Jeff was fantastic. Very informative and interesting. Learned a lot about Palm Springs - history and things to do.The Date Shakes were great also.
Anne our driver was great! She is well connected to the stars and has great stories! She showed us many properties, always apologizing if the view wasn’t great. I learned quite a bit about the area and have been coming here on and off for years!
Great afternoon seeing wonderful architecture and homes of the stars. Our guide John, was very well informed with lots of interesting information.
Jeff was great. Shared lots of stories of the stars, their homes, & history of Palm Springs!The date shakes were the best. Very entertaining!!!
Loved the tour. The guide was very friendly, knowledge, and entertaining. Also enjoyed free date shake!
The tour was very informative, not only about the homes of the stars, But also about the layout of Palm Springs and the surrounding area.I would definitely recommend this tour be taken early in your stay at Palm Springs.
This was a tremendous tour! Anne gave us every opportunity to customize the tour by what houses we wanted to see and she gave us an incredible amount of information about the houses and the inhabitants. Wish I had a recording of the tour to refer to. Great tour, great company and reasonable price! No need to spend more.GREAT JOB!!
Our tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was very very knowledgeable and made the tour a great experience. We would go on the this tour again.
Very knowledgeable driver and host brought Palm Springs to life during the 3 hour tour. The historic perspective was especially entertaining.
Our guide,Jeff, did a spectacular job! He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and very interactive! I would recommend this tour highly!
Very interesting back stories on many of the celebrities homes we rode past. Jeff definitely made it an interesting tour.
Tour was really good but only complaint was we were in the back of the bus made it hard to see things. John was a great guide and very knowledgeable.
Jeff was a great tour guide! I learned so much about Palm Springs history! He was funny and gracious! We loved it...well worth the time.
Best way to see the city and the sights. Learned lots of trivia along the way of seeing celeb houses and estates. The date milkshake was to die for.
I was skeptical about a celebrity tour, not being much into celebrities myself. But Jeff gave us a fantastic tour. To start off, he gave us a very good introduction to the history of Palm Springs, which explained a lot of things my wife and I had been wondering about. Also, Jeff grew up here, and had several personal stories to tell about life here in the era of the Hollywood studio system and later. He doesnt have a script, just lots and lots of information and stories in his head. This tour was well worth the money and the time.
Very interesting and informative tour. Anne was a great guide. She knows her stuff!
Extremely impressed. Driver was amazing and very informative. Highly recommended.
The tour was OUTSTANDING!! The tour guide Anne (sp) was very friendly and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend it!
Been living here for over a year. Didnt know how much I didnt know. Great tour lots of fun
Fun cheerful driver and explanations. Opportunity to get off bus for a free Date Shake.
Had a great tour and saw many homes of the stars of the past. Would recommend this for first time visitors to Palm Springs.
Tour guide was nice but it felt a bit like she had done it one too many times. Lots of trivia and interesting facts but it was difficult to see most of the houses and to keep up with the dialog and directions on where to look. Saw lots of hedges and block walls with a few peek-a-boo views. Not sure how to solve this but if you sign up for the tour just know that the views of the celebrity houses are quick and minimal.
Loved everything about this tour from the knowledgeable tour guide Anne to the date shakes. Im not sure what everyone else is saying about the bus but they must have gotten another one since the one we went on the A/C worked great and was clean. I would definitely do this again.
Showed up with relatives from out of town. Had reservations. Drove an hour there and was told bus was broken water something. Got a refund but very disappointed. Not everyone was turned away.
Excellent tours. Tour guide full of information. She made it fun and fact filled. I will definitely do it again with my visiting friends and family!
Excellent tour. Jeff was very knowledgeable about Palm Springs. Would highly recommend!
My wife and I had a wonderful day. Great tour I will be glad to recommend it to anyone that has plans to go to Palm Springs.
My husband and I took the 10 am tour with Jeff. We have been coming to Palm Springs for over 10 years and 20 trips but never made time to ‘tour’We both enjoyed the tour, Jeff and his great stories and seeing areas we have never seen before.Highly recommend and great value!
It was ok not great.Guide did to much chatter about himself.More factual info could be interesting.
As others have mentioned, there is no air in the bus. It was stifling. The female tour guide was very knowledgeable, but we could only see two houses. My husband called it the Hedge Tour because most of the homes were surrounded by high bushes and hedges. Yes, the date shake in the little shop was delightful, but the fact that we drove for 2.5 hours and couldnt see celebrity houses was disappointing. For the price of the ticket, its not worth it.
Our guide/driver was interesting & knowledgeable!! Lots of history & fun facts!
The bus broke down. Although I was refunded my fee in total, I was very disappointed because this tour was a special treat for friends on their first PS visit.
We had so much fun and Jeff was the best tour guide. We look forward to doing it again.
Rick provided an enlightening and entertaining 3 hour tour of over 50 celebrity homes in Palm Springs.
Tour was with Anne Was wonderful and very informative I learned a lot about the history of palm springs Had my first date shake also
Anne was knowledgeable and the bus was clean and comfortable. However, the sound system was inadequate and those of us toward the back of the bus only heard maybe 75% of what she was saying.
Jeff was an awesome source of local knowledge and very willing to indulge the group.
Lots of movie & movie star trivia. Very informative and entertaining. Would highly suggest it to others.
This is probably one of the best tours weve ever been on! had a great time fun fast 2 hours
Very comfortable bus, and a fantastic well versed driver/tour guide
Our guide, Anne, was so knowledgable! She was amazing. We learned so much about the history of Palm Springs.
Very well organized. Anne, our guide was amazing.
Really enjoyable tour of the Palm Springs holiday homes of the stars going back to the Rat Pack. Our guide Rick, long standing local, was very knowledgeable, friendly and super funny.
Such a great experience! Well worth the time and money.
Jeff was amazing. Cant beat the date shake.
It was cool. Nice way to kill a day.
Outstanding tour! Jeff took us to see Dean’s home.
Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Too bad there werent more photo opportunities.
Had a great time and our host knew a lot of history. Really enjoyed it.
The bus ride was perfect. The tour guide driver, Ann, was excellent with history and information. But you really couldn’t see much thru the trees and hedges that mostly enclosed the entire estate. I believe I could have spent some time on the internet and google to see the view from above alot better and driven around by myself.
It was so fun and entertaining! Jeffery was awesome!!
