Posted: Sat January 14, 2006 05:22 AM UTC

I'll be in Palm Spgs. in a week with a group of tourists from Europe. Any recommendations for must see sites and some local tour companies who give tours to the famous landmarks would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Malcolm (in Oakland)

Gray Line is namely for mass tourism. I'm thinking more of a tour company that does smaller groups. Can you recommend any smaller companies? Please advise.
Thanks.

Indian Canyon is a "must see" - also, off the beaten path out in Desert Hot Springs (North Palm Springs), it is worth the ride to see Cabot's Indian Pueblo Museum and do take the tour there so you can know about this pioneer. The panoramic view of the entire Palm Springs Valley is spectacular from Mission Lakes Country Club, nestled against the Northern Desert Hot Springs mountains - well worth the 20 min ride from central Palm Springs.
