Gossip + history + architecture = Palm Springs City Tour!

For all you architecture students out there, we have one of the top five architectural gems in the United States. Palm Springs is a true oasis of progressive design. Some of the masters include Albert Frey, Richard Neutra, William Cody, Stewart Williams, and Donald Wexler. Desert Modernism embraced mountain views and the area's warm climate, defining a lifestyle of elegant informality.

The history of Palm Springs will surprise you - a small town with a BIG reputation! All the Gabor sisters weren't known just for their acting! You'll see where the 'Rat Pack" hybernated (Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford). See where Colonel Parker stashed Elvis's goods and learn why Elvis never performed in Europe. See his honeymoon hideaway and learn why it was called "The House of Tomorrow".

This tour will enlighten, inform, entertain, and educate you on many different aspects of Palm Springs. Your official Tour Guide, Greg Gilman, was born and raised in Palm Springs. He has the real inside scoop! His passion for architecture, history, and the infamous Hollywood crowd are evident in his narration. Ninety minutes of pure pleasure!
