Surprising hit! - The tour was really interesting, but what made it extra-special was Tom the guide. His knowledge & passion was evident. The extra stories & human interest tidbits made it a unique & fun tour.

A Must in Palm Springs. - Tom’s passion got us excited about the history and functionality of this Palm Springs landmark. The windmills had always been a mystery to me since I was a small child, passing them on frequent trips to the desert with my grandparents. Finally learning how the wind turbines work - and how important they are to our everyday lives in ways many people take for granted - was fascinating. It’s an experience I won’t forget and one I’d recommend to everyone visiting the area.

A very fun, unique, and interesting experience! - Our golf cart tour of the Palm Springs windmills was one of the most memorable experiences and that’s largely thanks to Tom, our incredible tour guide. Tom brought everything to life with his enthusiasm, knowledge, and great personality. He didn’t just share facts — he told stories, answered all our questions (even the goofy ones!), and made the history and science of wind energy exciting for everyone in our group. If you’re visiting Palm Springs and looking for something unique, educational, and genuinely fun, this windmill tour is great Highly recommend!
