Interesting info. Good trip overall. See parts of Palm Springs you wouldn’t see otherwise. Just wish the app was more intuitive with today’s GPS technology. When you miss something or pass a turn, it doesn’t reroute you.

This is the third time. I still find it confusing and could not get audio through the car speakers. I missed the last part, because we were not able to finished and I couldn’t restart. I liked what we did see and the stories connected.

It was fun driving from spot to spot and hearing the stories behind the houses and venues. The narration was great. We even had a celebrity sighting!

We had some issues with the technology but resolved it in the end. Could be improved to make more user friendly. We were disappointed that the Coachella Valley Preserve was not open when the sign stated it should have opened May 1st.

The tour was great. We would not have been able to find the celebrity homes or learnt as much about the Hollywood history of Palm Springs without the commentary. Tech worked very well for navigation and commentary. One suggestion for improvement would be to build a coffee break suggestion into the commentary. Probably the logical spot would be before you head out of town to the desert. It was a great experience all round. We’d do another self guided tour again based on this experience.

The audio tour helped to highlight many things you would have missed otherwise. Interesting to see how many celebs were neighbors. I liked the background of the area - not just the celeb houses. The app does a decent job of geolocating you, but it doesn't always tell you when to turn so you have to hold your phone in your hand and be looking at it while you drive. It would be great if they could somehow figure out how to integrate the map portion with your car's navigation system. It was a good way to explore while getting out of the sun during the heat of the day.
