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.

My wife and I very much enjoyed taking part in the Historical Society's Frank Sinatra's Neighborhood Tour as part of our stay in Palm Springs. Our tour guide, David, was welcoming, knowledgeable, entertaining and very open to questions throughout the tour. We learned a great deal about the architecture, history and lore of the Movie Colony Neighborhood, and the movie stars, architects and historical personalities who made it famous. We definitely will participate in future Historical Society tours when we visit Palm Springs again in the future.

This was an excellent tour for us. Our Guide / Docent, Linda, brought the tour to live with stories and insights. My wife is an old move buff and particularly liked the insights to the old movie stars. We both enjoyed learning more about the architecture and the landscaping was such a bonus. A great adventure. We will be going on more tours when we are here next year.

We rode the mid-century bike tour on what turned out to be a very rainy day. It was still great. Our guide, David, had so much information about architecture, history, personalities, vegetation, you name it. So much that we had not heard about before and really makes us appreciate Palm Springs as a community much more. We look forward to booking a few walking tours this fall when we return. The biking for this tour was easy and the bike shop folks were lovely. Highly recommended.

We booked the historical society's Twin Palms tour and really enjoyed it. Though this is a small group tour, we appreciated that they went ahead and ran the tour for just us two -- they could have easily cancelled, since we were the only people who signed up. Our guide (Tom) walked us around this great neighborhood, telling stories ranging from architecture to celebrity residents of the 1950s to what life is like for those who live there now (some of whom we met and were very friendly). It's just a fun way to spend a couple of hours walking in the sunshine and hearing great stories. Thanks!

This walking tour brought to life the history of Las Palmas community. Our guide shared stories, facts and pictures about families. You learned about designers and architects that created the Palm Springs look. You’ll enjoy this stroll, have some laughs and learn a lot.

My husband and I took the Bike Like a Star of old time celebrity homes in Northern Palm Springs. Our guide, Paul, was very informative and chock full of knowledge and many interesting stories. He also talked about the architecture of many of the homes. It was an easy ride mostly flat with three small hills to climb. The pace was very leisurely. Even though the temperature started to rise to the 80's and higher by mid morning, it was still doable. We really enjoyed the tour, and we would highly recommend the tour.

Ruben was a Phenomenal Docent with a perfect mix of entertainment and education! Because of the knowledge he imparted, I enjoyed my stay in Palm Springs so much more. Steven was also very accommodating. This is a must see when in Palm Springs! A big thank you to both these gentlemen.

We had the best time on this tour! Suze is was the best tour guide and really was enthusiastic about her knowledge of our particular tour! I highly recommend these tours as they are so good even if you are a local and want something fun to do in PS!

We took the Hidden Paradise tour of the Mesa neighborhood. It was excellent. There was a good range of architectural styles and great history in the neighborhood. Our guide was great at describing background, architectural features, and provided additional photos complimenting her tour. I would recommend this tour and look forward to booking any of the other Historical Society tours.
