Retrace the steps of silver-screen stars and discover desert gems on a half-day driving tour through historic Palm Springs. This desert oasis was a favorite getaway for legends like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Debbie Reynolds, Marilyn Monroe, Sammy Davis Jr. Bette Davis, and many more. Expert commentary guides visitors through storied neighborhoods, unique shops, museums, and even a botanical garden filled with cacti. The vibrant town is filled with artwork, unique restaurants, and plenty of palm-lined streets to enjoy a moviestar lifestyle, if only for a day.
During the second part of the drive, the audio tour guide points out opportunities for optional hikes. Choose among Andreas, Palm, or Tahquitz Canyons within the Agua Caliente Reservation for desert scenery framed by the San Jacinto Mountains – and maybe spot bighorn sheep.. Visit Sinatra’s Tomb to pay respects to Ole Blue Eyes himself or Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve for more desert hikes, then finish the drive near the popular Aerial Tramway. Palm Springs is a perfect day trip from L.A, Orange County,. or San Diego.
