Self Guided Driving Audio Tour of Palm Springs

About this activity

Download GuideAlong's Palm Springs audio tour for a guided drive through the desert oasis’s star-studded legacy. This half-day drive leads visitors past the estates of legends like Elvis, Bette Davis, Debbie Reynolds, and Frank Sinatra, then through the charming art, shopping, and dining scene in downtown. Next, the expert commentary guides visitors to optional hikes where desert canyons, palms, and mountains frame views of wild sheep and cacti. The driving route ends near the popular Aerial Tram. This tour through Palm Springs is an excellent day trip from L.A. or San Francisco.
