Very educational tour of the Palm Springs windmills. Thomas was an excellent tour guide. We went in the golf cart and up close to the windmills. It was a beautiful day and lovely experience. Would highly recommend if you are in Palm Springs.

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.

Thank you for choosing us for your activity.

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.

Great tour. Guide Tom was very knowledgeable and nice. You might want to wear long pants to protect your legs from blowing sand.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable. The history of the windmill tech was fascinating. Take the golf cart tour. Much better than in a car.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thanks Robert for joining us :)

A very fun, unique, and interesting experience!

Laura_M, Jan 2026

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!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks Laura! We appreciate your feedback and will certainly pass this along to Tom.

Great morning tour!
