I totally enjoyed this tour. I’ve lived here five years, and there was so much that the tour guy taught us about the history of Palm Springs as well as the ghost which I always find fascinating.

My husband, his boy and myself had an amazing time. Our "ghost host" was not only very knowledgeable about Palm Springs ghostly happenings but also about the history of this amazing city. His presentation was perfection itself as he clearly and authoritatively recounted the stories of murders, the presence of spirits as well as ghost sightings. We loved his humorous interactions with us and others on the tour!
