⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down, the best city tour I’ve ever taken! Drag & Fly Tours is such a unique and fun experience, and I absolutely loved the concept of seeing Palm Springs with a drag queen as your guide. Our drag queen, Rosemary, was AMAZING — funny, engaging, entertaining, and full of personality. Jackie, our driver, was equally amazing and made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, JT and George, who could not have been more welcoming and lovely. I especially loved the theater-style, side-view seating on the bus. It was incredibly comfortable and made it easy to see everything while also feeling connected to Rosemary and everyone else on the tour. I laughed, I learned, and I had an absolute blast. By the time the tour was over, I genuinely felt like I had become part of the Drag & Fly family. I cannot recommend Drag & Fly Tours enough. If you’re visiting Palm Springs, put this on your must-do list. It’s fun, different, welcoming, and truly memorable. Without question, the best city tour I’ve ever taken!

THE 5 STAR PALM SPRINGS TOUR that wasn't on your bingo card
As a local, I didn’t expect to be wowed by a tour in Palm Springs, but this one totally surprised me! My friends and I kept spotting this bus around town and finally decided to hop on, and it was so worth it. It’s the perfect way to see Palm Springs, with a great mix of local sights, history, and humor. I usually avoid big group tours, but this one only fits about 13 people, so it felt much more personal and intimate. The massive window on the side of the bus made it an incredible way to take in the city views, and honestly, it made me fall in love with Palm Springs all over again. I’m definitely bringing more friends when they visit, a hidden gem!
