About this Event

Recommended: Purchase one tour per car. Everyone can listen at the same time!

Explore Palm Springs with a smartphone app that functions as your personal guide, audio tour, and map. Begin your adventure at the Palm Springs Visitor Center. From there, drive to the architectural wonder of the Kaufmann House, a pinnacle of mid-century modern design.
Continue to the striking Liberace House, a testament to the extravagant lifestyle of the legendary entertainer. As you keep driving, dig into the lives of the movie stars of yesteryear and find out why so many came to Palm Springs in the first place.
Then, be dazzled by the quirky and vibrant Robolights installation, a must-see for anyone in the area. Next, cruise past the legendary Frank Sinatra's Residence, where you can soak in the sounds of the Rat Pack era. Visit the Walk of Stars, celebrating the icons who have shaped Palm Springs' legacy.
Drive through the Coachella Valley and hear the true story behind the Coachella Music Festival. Then, see Frank Sinatra’s final resting place and solve one of the mysteries of his burial. End your journey at the Thousand Palms Oasis Preserve, exploring lush trails hidden in the heart of the desert.
