I've been to Palm Springs about 10 times for work in the last 15 years. I'm from Quebec. It is an amazing place to visit, the natural scenery is quite astonishing, so different from where I live. And yeah, in the summer it's quite hot (43C last time i went) but it's dry and I don't mind the heat at all.

Palm springs is one of my favorite day or weekend trips :)

As someone from England, the plants look so beautiful and exotic to me. I'd love to visit there

This place looks like the dream world.

Palm Springs is famous for its A-list residents, sprawling spa resorts and world-class golf courses. But less travelers know of its untamed natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

It's a desert paradise out there.

Tears appear in my eyes because how beautiful is Palm Springs

[grantray]

I've been to Palm Springs many times. BEAUTIFUL !!!! We eat there and love it. Restaurant scene is tops.

[MaheshMakvana]

Sometimes I visit places just because of your videos :)

It’s a great place to visit, but an even better place to live (except during July and August) because you’re surrounded by Celebrity history and natural beauty. I’ve been living in Palm Springs for more than a year, but I’m still finding out more about the town than meets the eye.

I love it there! I live in San Diego and I went there for the first time for spring break!

I haven't been to heaven but I've been to Palm Springs. I'm guessing they're the same. We've been there half a dozen times to golf but what amazes me is the service industry. Being from Canada we really don't have the same level that Palm Springs does so it's a real treat.

I dont know how you do it Expedia but you really have found a way of truly taking the viewer to the place in their mind.

The best time to come visit Palm Springs is during the winter! Come visit us during this time. Excellent weather and beautiful views of a desert with snow on the mountains...

I live in Palm Springs, and the Living Desert is not in "Palm Springs", it's in a city east of Palm Springs, Palm Desert to be exact. So if you're going to talk about the entire Valley, maybe you should include the bump and grind Trail, where you can hike up to the top of the mountain which typically takes over an hour, and you can see a great view from the top. Almost as spectacular as the top of the tram. You also didn't include our world-class casinos, and I'm not talking about gambling, they have live entertainment and shows come to the valley almost every weekend. There's always something to go see. As well as a McCallum Theatre, In palm desert, which is home to a lot of plays and concerts. I'd say you should have gotten somebody who lived out here to make your video. I was born and raised in the desert. I wouldn't like anywhere else.

Nice place. That aerial tramway is an awesome experience

[badshahhannu]

I can't travel every country so thank you for the amazing videos😊

[TraveltheWorldwithKris]

[khatunachitia]

Best time to visit Palm Springs + the Coachella Valley is from December to April. After that, there won't be a day where it's under 100ºf, and in the summer it can get up to 130ºf.
