Drag & Fly Tours has been featured five times by Palm Springs Life and covered by Men's Health, Marie Claire, Numéro, AAA, TravelPulse and the Irish Independent, along with travel press in Australia, Canada and Chicago. Reviewers consistently describe it as the most fun way to see Palm Springs.

Drag & Fly Tours is a drag queen hosted sightseeing tour of Palm Springs, California. Guests ride in a custom mobile theater with stadium seating and a giant picture window while a professional drag queen mixes live narration, music and video to tell the story of the city's celebrities, mid-century architecture and queer history. Tours run 90 to 100 minutes and depart from The Doll House at 267 E Tahquitz Canyon Way in downtown Palm Springs.
The company was founded in November 2024 by JD Cargill, a former CNN entertainment producer and winner of multiple Peabody Awards and a duPont Award, who hosts tours as Anita Doll. Rosemary Galore and Danity Zann, two of the desert's best known drag performers, share hosting duties.
