There are a number of movie stars and celebrities who have (or had) a home here. In some cases, it was the hideaway, for others, the primary home. Without a doubt, its heyday was in the '40s, 50's and '60s, partly driven by the constraints of the old Hollywood studio system, which required them to be able to report to work at a moment's notice. In recent years, young celebrities have flocked to the desert, renting homes, or in some cases buying a second home as a refuge. Palm Springs will always be part of that Tinseltown allure. Locals and visitors still marvel at many celebrities' houses, some for their architectural prowess, others for their curious history. You don't want to miss this tour, because these people made this area what it is today. They had such a profound impact on Palm Springs, you can still feel there presence. The tour takes you to all of that, and then some. Palm Springs was built by movie stars for movie stars.

My family and I were in Palm Springs for the week, so we decided to take Jack's tour on one of our days and it was the best choice of my trip! From the start, he was very accommodating and answered any questions my family had. He's a great storyteller and this made our trip so enjoyable. There was no limit to his knowledge of Palm Springs, he rattled off facts from even the most specific of questions. Also, he weaved in dates, home prices, and names effortlessly. You could tell he loves Palm Springs, he was prideful of everything he described. We got to see a lot of cool mid-century modern buildings, homes of the rich and famous, and historical landmarks. He was friendly and you can tell he loved his job! I highly recommend Jack and his tour if you're ever in the area! Thanks for an amazing day!

The Segway Movie Tour was absolutely awesome! We are from Savannah and we have never been on Segways so we decided to do this for my daughter’s 18th birthday. It was so fun and we even learned some new things about the city. Jason was an exceptional guide and teacher. The cute hats to wear over the helmets were an added touch to all of the fun!

We were fortunate to have Janie guide us on our tour of Savannah and the Bonaventure Cemetery. While she had a standardized itinerary around the Squares, she added interesting and personal flavor to each of the sights. Ultimately it was like having an old friend taking us around her hometown, with great interpersonal conversations along the way. She will always be the highlight of our Savannah trip.

As a fan of the movie, this place gave me all the feels. From turning into the driveway to seeing the field and the house. I went in early May so the corn had just been planted, but I had a good view of the field they are building for the August MLB baseball game. We got there about 2:30 on a Friday and it wasn’t super crowded (this was in early May though). We were able to get photos on the field with no one in the background. We weren’t able to tour the house due to our time limits. We stayed about an hour, but I could see staying longer. There is a gift shop and a concession stand. The restrooms are porta-potty only but they are super clean. While in Dyersville, be sure to go downtown and check out the If You Build It exhibit- another must see for fans!
