In the past 50 years, technology has changed the way we do everything in our day-to-day lives. We conquer each day, smartphones in hand, taking for granted those who made it all possible. If you are interested in learning more about the technology we use every day, then Silicon Valley in California is the place to visit. Silicon Valley is home to some of the largest tech companies in the world and is a global hub for technological innovation. Seeing this tech-centric hub is made easy with the Silicon Valley tour available through Incredible Adventures. Read on to discover everything our incredible tours have to offer:

Silicon Valley Tech Tour

Embark on the Silicon Valley Tech Tour with Incredible Adventures. The tour begins outside the Facebook headquarters, where you can snap a picture in front of the Thumbs Up Sign. Next, you will be able to explore Googleplex, an expansive campus for Google employees in Silicon Valley. One of our favorite highlights of Googleplex is the Android Statue Garden. The garden releases a new candy-inspired sculpture each time they develop a new operating system.

The next stop is the Computer History Museum, where you will learn about the fascinating history of technology. The day ends at the Apple Visitor Center, where you can experience interactive stations of their newest technologies. We can’t tour the Apple campus, but you can explore it via virtual reality- it doesn’t get techier than that!

Silicon Valley & Alcatraz Tours

Alcatraz Island is the number one attraction in San Francisco, so we offer multiple combination tours, including our Silicon Valley and Alcatraz Tour. This package is a two-day tour where you will visit Alcatraz on the first and Silicon Valley on the second day. The day starts with a ferry to the island and a brief history of “The Rock” upon your arrival. From here, you will be able to listen along an audio tour with interviews from former inmates. You can stay and explore the island for as long as you want since the ferry departs every 30 to 40 minutes.

The next day is the tour of Silicon Valley, where you will see and do everything previously mentioned. Attractions include the Computer History Museum and free time at the Google Campus, Facebook Sign, and Apple Visitor’s Center.

Serving as a relatively new landmark location in American history, Silicon Valley is widely considered the home of Big Tech today. With the likes of Apple, Google, Oracle, and more based here, you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the world that can match the technological innovation that comes out of this region. If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of the technology that you use daily, then let us guide you here at Incredible Adventures with our one-day, nine-hour Silicon Valley tour!

Silicon Valley Tour Itinerary

What draws many people to visit Silicon Valley are the stories behind some of the great companies in American history. From rags to riches fables to double-crosses and more, this competitive environment has both fostered and eviscerated entrepreneurs trying to change the world. Before you embark, your Silicon Valley tour with Incredible Adventures will take you through the origin stories of Apple, Google, IBM, and many other previously unrecognized technologists that paved the way for the most recent technological revolution. A little bit of background knowledge will be an insightful starting point before the tour truly commences.

The first stop on this tour will take you down Hacker Way, where you will have the opportunity to ‘check-in’ at the Facebook Thumbs Up Sign. From there, you’ll make your way to the famed Google Campus, complete with the mesmerizing Android Lawn Statues. Before departing, make sure to check out the gift shop and bring home some swag.

The next major stop is a favorite of many guests who go on our Silicon Valley tour: the Computer History Museum. From illustrating the origins of early computing, with the abacus to the modern-day wonders of self-driving cars, to the future and complexities of artificial intelligence, there is something new for everyone. Your last visit will be to the Apple Visitor’s Center, a fairly new establishment that also features a fully-stocked Apple Store.
