No memorable parts, you did not deliver as promised. You did not pick us up, claimed we had cancelled (a pure lie), and the trip did not include what you promised. We are claiming a refund.

During our recent visit to SF, It was recommended by a friend that we consider heading south to Palo Alto, Cupertino, Apple and Google HQ's, Stanford and the beach. We had visited SF several times through they years, so the normal sites had been seen, in a day or two we headed to Napa and Sonoma, so this seemed to be a great plan. Although there are no available tours on the main campus for Apple and Google, they still have visitor's centers that permit the initiated to "get close to the power." It would be great if both Apple and Google had organized walking tours but they don't, or at least we couldn't find them. However, it is a great trip to the south and we recommend it, after one has experienced the other sites of SF.
