Palm Springs Historical Society

Nice to walk around the city. This city has a very hot sunny weather

Great walking tour of the Las Palmas area. Very knowledgeable guide, very good mis if history, architecture and even plants Highly recommended

We took two walking tours with the society: Rat Pack Playground & Golden Era Hollywood Homes. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The tours were a good combination of architecture education & the history of celebrity life in Palm Springs.

The distance covered was very reasonable and the terrain was very manageable. Would highly recommend their tours to increase your knowledge of how the city came to be and how mid century modern began to flourish.

We did the “Heart of the City” walking tour with Vinny. Great way to learn all about the history of Palm Springs! Vinny was knowledgeable and had tons of great ancedotes. Wear comfortable shoes since there’s quite a bit of walking.

Did the Bike Like a Star tour. Very informative, lots of history about the area as well as the stars. Headsets were nice, made it much easier to hear. Ride was mostly easy with a lot of stops. A few hills only one of which was steep; walking is totally fine, guide was very considerate.

Note that the tour is closer to 4 hours, than the 3 the site says. It did start to feel a little long but all good stops so I don’t know what I’d cut.

Today my friends and I took the Cherished Legacy tour. It was great. I'd you are looking for history this is the tour for you. Yes it's in a cemetery so not a ton of walking. This is the tour to take if you want to learn more about the people who helped make Palm Springs what it is today. Our guide Cecile was so great . The passion she holds for the history of Palm Springs shows in her storytelling of all the characters. Highly recommend this tour
I would also like to compliment Steven on his help in getting our tour booked. He went above and beyond

A lot of reading: wall placards and such. Interesting if not easy for our modern brains. it would be grand if they got some more physical items. I enjoyed what was there regarding famous players of old palm springs. clean. donation. Closes early(ish)
