This was a wonderful tour. Very informative, the tour guide, Tom, was very knowledgeable about the history of the wi d turbines and how the evolved. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. My husband with a lack of enthusiasm but came saying this tour is "must see" when visiting the Palm Springs area. It was great.

This is an incredibly interesting tour filled with facts that made us realize how little we understood about wind power and the generation of electricity.

The greeting and outline of the tour, before we set off, was phenomenal and really appreciated. The day we chose happened to be exceedingly windy which provided a vibrant ambiance! The information from the App was superb. Just the right amount of information to keep you interested with excellent directions.
