Palm Springs has long been a favorite among celebrities, politicians and professional athletes for decades due to its gorgeous weather and vacation-atmosphere. Likewise, the consistent celebrity presence and rich, exciting history attracts visitors from all over the world, in particular, those who are interested in buying luxury international real estate properties. Visitors come for a vacation and fall in love with the Palm Springs Valley—and it’s not difficult to understand why.
One of the fun attractions that people of all ages enjoy are the celebrity tours in Palm Springs. It’s a great way to see the region, or to take a break from work or wind down after a day of looking at La Quinta homes for sale. There are two very popular tours, among many others, that often catch the eye of visitors, especially those who come from abroad for a holiday or to view luxury international real estate properties.
The Grand Tour is a favorite among residents and visitors. The two and a half hour tour bus ride displays the rich and luxurious history of the desert cities, offering glimpses of some of the most amazing estates in Palm Springs, including those of Frank Sinatra, Walter Annenberg and the Marx Brothers, among many others. The Grand Tour runs from Monday through Saturday all year long, and costs $44 for adults, $40 for seniors, and $19 for children 14 and under. Private tours are also available, starting at $79 per participant. For more information, call 760.770.2700.
Another ultra popular attraction is the Palm Springs Elvis Honeymoon House Hideaway. Guided tours highlight the marriage of Elvis and Priscilla Presley and take guests through extensive memorabilia and old photographs of Elvis “in the Building.” Knowledgeable tour guides share interesting stories about the couple and a short film features highlights on the mid-century-modern architecture of this famous building. In addition, visitors are shown the famous escape route that left paparazzi staking out the house speechless as the famous couple flew to Las Vegas to marry. Box lunches are available upon request. For more information, call 760.322.1192.
