Tour guide was very informative. Her real estate background came in handy for knowing the status of a certain star home and its pricing. Learned some new facts I didn't know about the stars and the homes. Very comprehensive. Well organized. Time efficient.

Fun hearing about how Palm Springs was developed by the stars, and seeing their homes. Ann had a wealth of information about the stars' homes, windmills, and the desert area in general. She was great! And our stop at the Windmill for date shakes was fabulous!! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone spending time in the Palm Springs area!!

Tours are the best and most efficient way to become informed and knowledgeable about a particular topic, in this case it was the celebrities of Palm Springs' area. Jack, our tour guide provided exactly what we hoped for along with his 'cool' presence and 'breathless' enthusiasm. His anecdotal stories bring 'to life' the energy/excitement of the times, personalities and homes. We definitely recommended this tour to friends who have recently purchased homes in the area. Jack also spoke graciously and admirably of his colleague Anne so it sounds like it doesn't matter who you have as a guide, it will be well worth the 2.5 hours. Also to note included in the tour was the leisurely stop at the Windmill Market for a date shake...absolutely superb and an opportunity to purchase a variety of these little nuggets. According to Jack and CV Indian folklore, to see a hummingbird is considered good luck, so if blessed, head to the casino! Thanks Jack!

Although I have visited Palm Springs several a times this is the first time I have taken a tour. There are several tour companies to choose from providing the same Celebrity Home Tour..and actually our hotel promoted another company... but after reading reviews on Tripadvisor and Yelp I chose Celebrity and so glad I did. The tour was half the price of the company promoted by hotel..but more importantly they we punctual, picked us up at the hotel for a minor charge and Jack, our tour guide was so personable and knowledgable. He really seemed to enjoy his job. Learned our names quickly,which is always a plus, provided detailed info but in a fun way. Really loved the Palm Springs area...was proud of it..and it showed. The bus was comfortable, air conditioning worked well. Date shake stop was fantastic...best date shake..and I hate dates..and free! Took in windmill farm too..which was a separate tour in other companies. I know in the future this type of tour will be passee....the kids will not care in the least who Frank Sinatra or Bob Hope was or that Marilyn Monroe met JFK at Dean martins home...but I hope Celebrity is able to creat other venues to be successful. Was also pleased with Zerve and the easy processing of payment involved.

The tour was interesting, fun and informative. Worth the 2 1/2 hours to get a glimpse into the movie star world of Palm Springs.

The tour guide did a wonderful job describing the development of the various Desert Cities and their facilities and how they were influenced by the various Hollywood stars and other major citizens. Excellent opportunity to see Mid-Century Modern / Modernistic architecture. My only concern is that if an individual is not aware of the older stars, this tour will not have any meaning for the youth of today.

The guide Jack did a good job. I took the tour eight years ago and this was different so I saw new sights. My wife and I had a good time.
