What to expect

Explore the birthplace of tech with a self-guided audio tour! Drive through Silicon Valley while checking out the headquarters of tech giants like Apple, Google, Facebook, Tesla, and more. Learn about the visionaries who’ve shaped the world around us, from the feud between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to the controversies around Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos to the eccentricities of Elon Musk.

This self-guided audio & GPS tour allows you to explore Silicon Valley with maximum flexibility, safety, and value. Simply hop in your own car, get the tour guide app set up on your phone, and get started. The tour begins at Facebook's headquarters. We start by learning about Zuckerberg and his vision. All audios play automatically based on location.

The tour then continues as we learn about the oldest struggle in tech — idea vs execution. As you listen and drive, you come to an inconspicuous building housing the real backbone of Amazon — AWS. You learn about Bezos Amazon’s beginnings.

The tour continues from Amazon to Google, starting with the Android Garden. Then it’s straight down the road to Google’s headquarters, called the Googleplex. You’ll get to walk through the campus.

That brings you to Microsoft and the beginnings of the modern world. You’ll learn about Gates, BASIC, and Windows. You’ll get to stop at a museum to play the first-ever video game and see one of the first-ever computers.

From there, you continue onto Apple. You learn about Apple vs Microsoft and Jobs vs Gates. You can even stop by Jobs’ Garage.

The tour’s not over yet! You go from smartphones to smart cars. You’ll learn about Elon Musk and Tesla as you drive on towards the heart of Silicon Valley.

The tour finally ends at Stanford, which churns out tech entrepreneurs. You can even visit the true birthplace of tech, the Hewlett-Packard Garage.

Not sure you can fit all of that into one day? No worries — once booked, the tour is yours forever. Split the drive around Silicon Valley into two days or come back later for a second round. Travel dates change? Again, not a problem — this Silicon Valley self-guided tour isn't going anywhere! It never expires.

Just hop into your own car, set up the self-guided tour, and get started on this technology-lover’s ultimate adventure.
