I was always curious about how wind turbines worked. Learning how the wind turbines actually work and power energy to over 300,000 homes was very interesting and exciting. Afterwards, my husband and I went and had lunch and a date shake at Windmill Market. Such a pleasant way to end our date that Saturday.
Always wanted to know, now I do!

We enjoyed the historical video and the self driving tour but we would have enjoyed more detail, perhaps a model, of how the turbine / brake / propeller system works, the science behind blade optimization and the future vision for wind turbines - what areas of the world they could be expanded into, what weather geography is need for them to work etc.

Excellent educational tour. Such delightful owners. Learned so much about the history, technology, contributions to zero emissions energy of the future. Very nice tour. And don’t miss the date shakes at the little out of the way shop they suggested at the end of the tour. So much more to the experience than I would have imagined. Highly recommended to help visitors understand the area of the Cochella valley
Informative

All of it. Very informative especially the development phases to get to where we are today. Last two in first segment could do with blue barrels and numbering so people don't blow past them
Nice little adventure

General knowledge of windmills and their development. Wish the map was a little better for going off property, but it added to the experience to try and figure it out.
Our guide was very warm...

We have driven to Palm Springs every year for so many years and talked about the many windmills. It was so refreshing to actually learn about them and see them up close. Would it have been better live and not during Covid, sure thing and we will come back for that as well. But the self driving tour with an instructive YouTube to go along is a great start.
Excellent!

Very interesting. David, who provided the in-person portion of the tour, was very personable and informative. The video was actually enjoyable and full of facts. The last 2 optional stops aren't really necessary - though the date milkshake was delicious.
Intersting Mills

We had a great time. Driving through offers a great way to see the windmills up close and there is a lot of information given during the tour, very interesting information especially in today's efforts to find other sources of clean energy.
Great Time

We were really surprised on how much fun we had on this tour. It was very informative and to stand at the base of these windmills is breathtaking. Topping off the tour with the best date milkshake ever was the best! Definitely recommend.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
