点评:Kolin Was Excellent!!!
It was just the 3 of us on this day and we were super fortunate to have the Big Wheel Van all to ourselves -- bc it felt like we were treated just like the A-List celebrities who owned the homes we visited on the tour. Right out of the gate, case in point -- > pick-up and drop-off service at our own place!!
Along with cruising through the surrounding unique/exclusive quadrants and regions that make up the city of Palm Springs - with unlimited complimentary water and snacks along the way - Kolin made sure we hit up all the property hot spots, enthusiastically providing and pinning all historical relevance, exterior/interior decor and background notes attached to each famed location. Some of the highlights of the approximate 3+hr road trip took us past the Iconic Melvyn's Restaurant, the homes of Sony Bono, Frank Sinatra, Howard Hughes, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, Dean Martin, and of course a visit to the Honeymoon Hideaway and the additional vacation chateau of the King of Rock & Roll, where we had an unexpected & unbelievable opportunity to take an actual tour inside the home itself!!!
This is a must see and do for all ages with any interest in the Golden Age of Hollywood & Entertainment, and I would without a doubt recommend this tour and make sure Kolin is your go-to guide: he was amicable, informative, answered all our questions and at the end .. provided us a sense of re-enlightenment and real appreciation for a very storied bygone era. Don't pass this up!!!

那天只有我们三个人,我们非常幸运地包下了这辆 Big Wheel Van——感觉就像我们参观的房产的主人一样,受到了一线明星般的待遇。例如,一出门就有接送服务,送到我们家门口!!
除了带我们游览棕榈泉市周边独特/专属的地区(沿途提供无限量的免费饮用水和零食)之外,Kolin 还确保我们游览了所有热门房产,热情地介绍并标注了每个著名地点的历史意义、室内外装饰以及背景说明。这趟约3个多小时的公路旅行,亮点包括标志性的梅尔文餐厅 (Melvyn's Restaurant)、索尼·波诺 (Sony Bono)、弗兰克·辛纳屈 (Frank Sinatra)、霍华德·休斯 (Howard Hughes)、玛丽莲·梦露 (Marilyn Monroe)、鲍勃·霍普 (Bob Hope) 和迪恩·马丁 (Dean Martin) 的故居,当然还有蜜月度假胜地 (Honeymoon Hideaway) 和摇滚之王的度假城堡。在度假城堡,我们获得了一次意想不到的、难以置信的机会,可以亲自参观这座城堡的内部!!!
对于所有年龄段、对好莱坞和娱乐黄金时代感兴趣的人而言,这都是一个不容错过的体验。我强烈推荐这次旅行,并确保科林 (Kolin) 成为您的首选导游:他亲切友好、知识渊博,解答了我们所有的问题,并在旅程结束时……让我们重新领悟,并真正欣赏那个传奇的逝去时代。千万不要错过!
