    Followed this tour as a family with 2 older teenage sons. We all very much enjoyed the commentary and it definitely enhanced the experience of driving all round Silicon Valley. Much better than the alternative, which would have been working out our own itinerary and plotting our own route. Took us around 4 hours with a coffee/cake stop at Google (thoroughly recommend - better option than food/drink at Apple) and a stop at Apple visitor centre. Had already visited Stanford so didn’t stop there or the computer museum. Directions were easy to follow. App crashed a couple of times but was easy to restart and return to where we left off. All in all, would very much recommend this app.

    Highly recommended for those who have limited time and would like a feel of the tech company campuses in the valley. Covered companies include Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon (AWS), etc. The app is convenient. The only small issue is that it does not redirect to the guided tour so we had to repeat some loops, thought it is not inconvenient.

    The tour was simply amazing for a tech-inspired family like ours with young kids. We are not from the area, hence, driving (not to miss the exits) and listening to the details was a bit hard. We had the navigation map on another phone so that we could listen and drive at the same time. Having a list of various stops by email will be more convenient. But we enjoyed the tour overall and learned a lot of details and some unique stories (liked seeing Steve Jobs Garage). We also figured later that we could play each of the numbers again and listened to the details when not driving. We got off to walk around Google campus (Google Visitor Center, Google store, the sculptures, the Droids, Google Cafe etc) as well as the Apple campus. In the Apple Visitor Center, we went to the balcony and took pictures of the Apple space building. The model of the building and the 3D view on the iPAD was a treat for the kids. And so were the demos for the new iPhone and other gadgets. Apple Cafe was lovely. We enjoyed the tour very much.

    We enjoyed this experience. Very interesting facts and stories about the big tech giants. Only suggestion; the start needs to tell you which way to turn. (Left out of the park where we started). After that the instructions were great.
