Totally not worth it.

Byron_B, Nov 2024

I had the pleasure of having Marciano as our guide and driver. He was very knowledgeable of the town and made our experience comfortable. However, the price paid for this tour is totally not worth it. For the price, I was expecting to talk to actual engineers from Google, Apple and Meta. Gain knowledge of how things work. Instead we just went to stores. There was No interaction from employees. It was very restricted and limited.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Your input is valuable to us, however, your main complain ( not meeting engineers ) is not in the tour description. We don’t say clients will meet engineers or any employees from the tech companies visited. To have the experience of learning from employees you would have to book one immersion tour and, that would cost you at least 5 times more than you paid. The stores you visited are the visitor centers where you can learn about the new products and also about the companies. We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We had a great time. Fred...

Silicon Valley Family Experience

Lei_C, Dec 2023

Our Silicon Valley tour was amazing also thanks to the help of our tour guide Fred. He was friendly and knowledgeable about all the places we went (Stanford, Apple, Google and Meta). He was also up for a nice chat on the car rides and made sure that we all had a good time and personalised our schedule to the places that we wanted to see the most. Thanks Fred for the wonderful experience?

Well worth it!

Grant_N, Jul 2023

The whole experience was terrific. Fred our tour guide was a nice guy, informative and helpful, and he went out of his way to make our experience enjoyable. Everything ran like clockwork. Fred ensured we stayed on time and got to see everything we hoped to see. It was well worth the day and we couldn't have accomplished this on our own.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the tour. See you next time.

Waste of money

Shelley_R, Feb 2023

Alex picked us up in a nice Suburban. He was on time but that is when the service basically ended. Alex was extremely hard to hear and understand. He had absolutely no interesting facts on any of the places we saw. He basically was an uber driver. I was using this tour to attract employees to the area from other states. They were asking me questions about Meta, Apple, Stanford, and Google. I had no answers for them and neither did Alex. He did not offer any information on any of the places we stopped. He basically said here we are, you an get out and walk around if you want. I spent almost $500 on an uber ride. Even the people I was touring from out of state made comments that Alex had no info to share. I am hoping to get a refund of some kind.

Great guide and...

Grazie Fred per la tua disponibilità, preparazione e cortesia. Ci hai donato una gita bellissima e completa! Ed io mi sono sentita davvero felice, come una bambina in un negozio di giocattoli 😉

El guía fue muy amable y simpático, sabia muchísimo no sólo sobre lo relacionado con la actividad, sino que también nos contó muchas curiosidades de san francisco, experiencia inmejorable.

INMEJORABLE

Nuestro guía Fred fue muy puntual y muy profesional! Explico todo perfectamente ya que sabía mucho sobre Silicon Valley y sobre San Francisco. Además nos detuvimos para sacarnos fotos dónde queríamos en todo momento. Acabamos 30 minutos más tarde el tour y nos llevó a Fisherman Wharf en lugar de al hotel sin ningún problema! Recomendado sino este Tour con Fred!
