For more than 25 years, Five Star Adventures has been dedicated to keeping the Golden Era of Palm Springs and Hollywood alive with fascinating tours and powerhouse events. As the concierges’ first choice for discerning travelers, our premier sightseeing tours and events have been educating and entertaining visitors with the history of Palm Springs, and the inside stories of the many movie stars who made Palm Springs their “getaway” from Hollywood. The popular, daily “Legends and Icons Tour,” hosted in Mercedes Benz coaches, shows more than 50 homes and offers the unique opportunity for guest to get out and visit the private estate nicknamed “The Rat Pack Hideaway,” movie location of Behind the Candelabra.” “A Toast To The Stars,” the weekly variety show and dinner done during “season,” is an irresistible, non-stop, energetic evening of music mixed with Palm Springs and Hollywood history, trivia and dish.

This was a great, informative tour with lists of history of the area that focused on the local Indian tribe and celebrities. Annette really knows her stuff.

The only reason I knocked off a star was due to the length of the tour. It is advertised as a 2-2 1/2 hour tour but it only lasted 1 1/2 hours, which made the price pretty steep for such a short jaunt. It was a rainy day so maybe that was why it was cut short. ??

Otherwise, I highly recommend this tour.

From the pick-up in a comfy van until our drop off, Annette regaled my friend and me with an all encompassing and entertaining tour of Palm Springs. With her overview of the architecture, topography, historical tidbits, current and future plans for the city, we really saw the big picture. However we were also blown away by her knowledge of the rich and famous movie stars past to the present. What fun to see where and how they lived going back almost a hundred years. SO MUCH FUN! Definitely the highlight of our visit. Will bring others back for a repeat. Thanks so much Annette!

This is a wonderful overview of not only the old Hollywood homes and places of interest in Palm Springs but it is a great way to get around and see the City which is more than just the strip downtown. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and fun with lots of inside stories of the movie stars who called this place home. I highly recommend it.

Our guide was very knowledgeable about Palm Springs history and shared fun information about the various homes and sights we saw. Recommend! Having read some previous reviews, it should be noted that this is not a private tour, nor do you get in/out for photo stops, but there are large windows in the van that allow adequate viewing on both sides. We felt like we saw and learned more than we could have on our own, and that the tour was worth the money.

My friend Robin and I really enjoyed this tour. I love old Hollywood and loved seeing the homes of the stars and learn a little history of Palm Springs. Our guide has lived in Palm Springs for 26 years and was very knowledgeable. She also has a nice personality.

We took the Legends & Icons tour. Our driver and tour leader, Annette, was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about the history of Palm Springs, while pointing out the various landmarks of interest. It was fun to hear about the back stories of the movie stars (past and present) while driving by their homes. Annette was pleasant and made the tour enjoyable! The mini coach was clean and comfortable too. Well worth it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through the Joshua Tree National Park. Our tour guide, Isabell, was very friendly and knowledgable. The vehicle was comfortable and she gave us plenty of opportunities to get out, stretch our legs, and take pictures; while still staying within a reasonable time frame.

Fun to see all the homes the Hollywood stars purchase back in the day. Tour guide also gave interesting back stories about them. Special thanks to our guide (can’t remember her name but we were on 1:00 pm tour last Wednesday 3/2). I had time mixed up (thought it started at 2pm) and she called me. We were 1/2 hour away and she graciously figured out a way to do a few other things with the other guests & circle back to meet us. That was very kind of her and really appreciated that. We felt so bad and were a bit flustered on arrival but her understanding and calm manner helped us relax and enjoy the tour. Kudos to her🙂👍

Our initial thought was this would be a rip roaring ride through the desert. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed seeing it through the eyes of our naturalist, Travis. He entertained as well as educated us in a way that was a load of fun! Thanks for a great ride!
