    Danny and Kathy are fantastic ! There were great snacks, amazing drinks, and lots of information along with the tour. I can't think of a better way to experience Palm Springs than on the Magic 'Bus' !

    The Magic Cart Ride, wow, what can I say besides book it! I have been on many tours when traveling and taking the Magic Cart Ride was unbelievable and memorable. Donnie and Kathy were amazing hosts, they make you feel so welcome and their knowledge of Palm Springs was so educational for me. The tour was about 3 hours and the way the tour was given made you feel like you were going back in time while experiencing what it must have been like. We stopped at the most spectacular places, good food and refreshments to many to list. One of our stops was the American Legion where we had the rare opportunity to go into the former radio station booth where great performers such as Bob Hope, Bing Cosby and many others had been broadcaster on the radio. Why was this a spectacular tour, Donny and Kathy had given the tour from their hearts and historical information they both have experience of both working and living in Palm Springs versus other tour group's who just read a book and/or memorizes a script. The Magic Cart is unique, it holds 6 guest in total, extremely comfortable with high end seats, drink holders and leg room. I am tall and a person doesn't feel cramp. As you can tell from pictures a person can look around and see everything without anything blocking your view. When returning to Palm Springs, I am planning booking again on The Magic Cart.

    Getting ready to go!

    This tour was so much fun and special. Kathy and Donnie were superb hosts with so much knowledge and little antidotes. They have access to a private garden that formerly was Robert Stack's house. They fit us in on a day there were not tours available. I would highly recommend their tour!

    If you're looking for a tour of Palm Springs that includes a bit of everything, this is the tour for you. Visit historic hotels, drive by homes of stars, taste the local cuisine and learn interesting facts about old and new Palm Springs. Magic Cart Ride offers all of this and more while being driven from place to place.... a welcome convenience in the hot weather. Be sure to come hungry, because you will have tastings and libations at several locations!

    This was mind blowing Okurrrrr... Let me tell you why!…read more Meeting at On the Mark Palm Springs and making purchases that you KNOW you can't get anywhere else in the valley! Walking around the Movie Colony (vicinity) and burning the calories you JUST KNOW you'll be consuming later. Listening to Kelly's obscene amount of knowledge 's! He's ON IT for real, I know this because he answered every random history question I had and guess what his answers were SPOT ON (because this girl does her homework)!! Each restaurant was carefully selected due to mouth watering and succulent menu items and signature cocktails with the BEST AMBIANCE! Kelly put a lot of thought into each morsel we devoured. I'm incredibly appreciative because we just LOVE food! We loved meeting the owners, hearing the start up history about each spot and the people we met on our tour! All in all I encourage everyone to try this, there's a ton of food, it's DELICIOUS, the ambiance is AMAZING, the tour is FUN, your tummy... brain and eyes will be forever thankful and impressed. Just do EEETTTT !

    Highly recommend taking a tour with Sidecar tours!!…read more My husband had been looking at this activity for a long time. He had found it through Groupon. Riding a sidecar in the middle of Temecula while being dropped off at several wineries without having to drive sounded like a unique and fun activity. By the time he was able to purchase it, only the cocktail tour was available. While we usually prefer cocktails, we found out after the fact that those start at 4:00pm and only Mon-Thurs. It didn't sound too fun to drive an hour away on a weekday in traffic to begin and come home late, but we wanted to check it out. A few days before our event was going to take place, the business called me to inform me that they are no longer doing cocktail tours at this time and were trying to get it off Groupon until the businesses working with them were more cooperative with pricing. While I was not thrilled about the last minute change, I was relieved because a big storm was coming the next day (never fails) and it would have been canceled anyway. I also didn't know until after that you mainly ride through Old Town and would not get nearly the amount of sidecar riding. However, they offered to change it to the wine tour and were able to squeeze us in three days later on the weekend so it worked out perfectly. Weather was on our side this time. It was bright and sunny. Bryan, our tour guide and driver texted me the morning of and gave us instructions on where to meet, and the waiver to sign, and that he would also be our professional photographer this day. It turns out Bryan was juggling three parties that day and was constantly on the go moving each party to the next stop. He introduced himself and explained what we would be doing and which wineries we would be visiting. He took a few pictures in the beginning and his phone may as well have been a professional camera! We first started with a fun ride throughout parts of Temecula and through a vineyard (literally!) as well. We got on one main road and went very fast! He gave us a lot of facts about Temecula and the vineyards as we rode. Our first stop was at Chapin winery where we were provided with six tastings of our choosing. I loved every selection! The pizza they made there smelled amazing, but we were full from breakfast (another time for sure!) Bryan explained that if we did want to eat pizza, please order it right away so it had time to cook and be eaten before he came back. He left us to be to relax and enjoy our wine while he took the previous group he had dropped off to the second winery. He texted me when he was on his way back to us and so we could get ready and whatnot. Once he arrived, we hopped back into the sidecar and got an even longer tour of the city and areas and had a longer time to enjoy the next sidecar ride. We stopped by some of the nearby animals such as llamas and he told us facts about the trees in their yard and about them, followed by some facts of the mountains and nearby homes and stopped for those views. Next we were brought to Bella Vista winery and were provided a full bottle of wine! We sat and relaxed and had some more wine while enjoying the views. The party before us was brought back to the starting point. Bryan took some more pictures and we brought the remaining wine back with us. It ended up being a perfect, sunny, great weather day and the business was great the whole time. Bryan was an amazing tour guide and photographer and we highly recommend him. A number of our friends are already considering trying this tour out after hearing about it and seeing the pictures.

    This is a must! It was fun, informative, and a unique experience. The wine tasting at 1 winery and…read morea bottle at another is all included, as well as professional looking photos from the driver which are shared to you before the tour even ends. The driver dropped us off at another winery once the tour concluded so they can be flexible. Will do it again!

We got to meet our hostess Rosemary, had fun dressing up, and taking pictures with her before our tour started.

Booking the tour online was easy and when they had to move the tour up by a half hour they reached out to ensure that worked with our scheudle. We arrived a few minutes before the start of our tour and were able to meet Kevin and our tour guide Rosemary and take some fun pictures. The tour bus and driver are great! We had so much fun seeing the sights, hearing stories and learning about the history of Palm Springs. The tour took us past iconic homes, landmarks and the highlights of the tour which for us were Robolights and the Trixie Motel since we had watched the renovation show. This tour was a blast!

    When visiting Palm Desert in mid-February, the concierge recommended the Legends & Icons tour with…read moreFive Star. We met up with Annette and her sprinter van which was packed to the gills! We got the very last seats in the back with our friends. It was an unseasonably cold day with pouring rain. PS gets 1-4" rain per year, and received 1" of that on the day of our tour! Annette said the heat was on (and I did feel it further upfront when disembarking), but I was freezing the entire time in the last set of seats. The tour itself was good - Annette was full of stories and very entertaining. We were glad we opted for a guided tour like this versus a self-guided walking tour. It lasted close to 2 hrs and costs $130/person. Note that the tour did NOT include the tour of the Rat Pack Hideway specifically listed on their website tour description spelled out below. The asterisk they added just lists the people who partied and played, and the elongated plus sign was probably meant to be a disclaimer that we may not see this property, but there is no such disclaimer or explanation of that symbol anywhere that I could find on their site. "The Rat Pack Hideaway: Tour the private property of The Rat Pack Hideaway, where Frank, Dino, and Sammy partied and played.*† ( We are the only company given access to exclusive movie star properties.)" Regardless, the tour was good with lots of info and recommendations for places to eat and explore further (although covered so quickly the none of us could recall specifics after we left!) It was hard to see much of some homes, hidden behind gates/landscaping. A tour of an actual home, such as the Rat Pack hangout, would have been awesome.

    We have been coming to Palm Springs for several decades and finally decided to do a tour of it. Of…read morecourse I didn't know of any so I went on Yelp. Found this one and another and according to the number of reviews, reviews themselves, and availability went with Five Star. The worst issue we had was finding them in downtown Palm Springs and that is because there isn't an actual building you are looking for. It's a pick up location. When I booked the tour I was told it was somewhat tricky to find them and boy they were not kidding. So if you are reading my review here is the tip, park in the parking structure located on the corner of Indian Canyon Drive and Baristo Road (in Palm Springs not Cathedral City) The Bank Dispensary is seeable from the structure. After parking, walk out of the structure onto Baristo Road and hang out on the Baristo Road by the parking structure and The Five Star black van will pull up and load all in. I tried calling about 5 times into the office because I was so lost and fearful I would be left behind. I was getting very flustered nobody was taking my call or returning it. "Why not?" I asked since they were giving a tour. However come to find out they only had one van operating with one tour guide since people just aren't going back to work these days after the pandemic so I needed to ease up on my frustration. Annette was our tour guide and she was very apologetic about it all. She was an amazing tour guide!!! So much information to share with us (8 of us total). We saw so many stars homes. She didn't lack on info or comedy. We loved her. She even had info on the land and the local Indian tribes which was fascinating in it self. The van fit all of us comfortably and it was nice and cool. One guest did sit in the front seat so that helped us three in the way back not feel so cramped. We made one stop at Frank Sinatra's house to get out and take a pic otherwise we were in the van the entire, maybe 2 hours. As we drove back to the pick up/drop off location, she pointed out all the yummy food restaurants which was great. She really knew her Palm Springs history and more. I'd go on this tour again with her. It was something well worth spending your money on especially with Annette. Make sure to get out and get a pic at Sinatra's house, you won't be disappointed because Annette will surprise you with a photo ((wink, wink)).
