A Great Day Trip to Silicon Valley
We had an amazing trip to Silicon Valley with Tony. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took wonderful care of the three of us throughout the journey. Beyond visiting tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, Oracle, and Nvidia, as well as the beautiful Stanford University campus, the true highlights were seeing the famous HP Garage, Steve Jobs’ childhood home and garage, and his final residence surrounded by beautiful apple trees.

A wonderful way to experience San Francisco – thanks to Pep!
We did a half-day private city tour of San Francisco with Pep Cearnal (the owner), and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit.I have generally found city tours to be a little routine, but this one was anything but that. Pep has a wonderful combination of deep knowledge of San Francisco and a very engaging, conversational style. She took the time to explain the history, background and interesting little stories behind the places we visited, rather than simply driving us from one sightseeing spot to another.We covered many of San Francisco’s principal sights and neighbourhoods, including Pacific Heights and some of its beautiful homes, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Union Square and the Palace of Fine Arts. Pep also showed us some fascinating locations connected with well-known personalities and Hollywood movies, including the famous Mrs. Doubtfire house and a home associated with Steve Jobs and his family. Her knowledge of the city, its neighbourhoods, architecture, people and history made the tour far more interesting than we had expected.What stood out even more, however, was Pep herself. She is extremely customer-friendly, warm, accommodating and very easy to communicate with. Nothing felt rushed or mechanical. She was flexible, attentive to what interested us and made the whole experience feel more like exploring San Francisco with a knowledgeable local friend than being on a conventional guided tour.Pep also has a very engaging personality, and conversation with her flowed effortlessly throughout the tour. By the end of the few hours we spent together, we felt we had not only seen San Francisco but had also understood and experienced the city a little better.We returned home to India with very fond memories of San Francisco, and Pep played a big part in creating them. We would happily recommend her and Alegro Private Tours to anyone looking for a personalised and enjoyable way to see the city.

A Day to Remember
Our time with Fred was perfect! We only had a couple of requests for stops, so Fred mapped out our 4 hours together to ensure that we saw as much of his beloved city as possible. We visited many of the more famous landmarks, but also saw several sites that simply took our breath away. The history and the stories that he shared added so much to our day also!

Wonderful private shore excursion at our own pace. Maddy picked us up promptly and drove us around the city highlights then out to Muir Woods where we were able to spend more time than the ship's tour allowed. We stopped at Sausalito for a snack and a stroll then headed back to pier 39. Nice day!

Awesome tour of Silicon Valley from SF.
Fred was our tour guide for the day from Dingo Tours for this Silicon Valley half day trip from SF. Fred was awesome, full of knowledge about Silicon Valley companies and their history and a very happy and accomodating person. He was also a Brazilian soccer fan, which added to the fun aspect, as we were traveling from Sydney Australia to watch the WC matches.Fred gave us a quick outline of the day. First stop was the Meta office, Menlo Park. Interestingly, it was the same office which Sun Microsystems had previously occupied. Being an ex-Sun employee, I was very nostalgic. Fred gave us a quick drive around the campus and then parked to take a picture of us in front of the Meta logo! Funny part was, behind the Meta logo was the old Sun logo, which was such a nice coincidence!The next stop was Stanford University. It was a zip code of its own. Fred gave us some tips on what to see in the short time. We went to see the church, the gift shop and the tower which house a lot of Hoover memorabilia. The view from the top was brilliant, you could capture the width of the entire Stanford campus. The ground floor was a museum. The entry to top floor was ticketed at USD8 per person. Was a good experience.Then next 2 stops were Google office, Mountain View and Apple office, Cupertino. The Google office was just an office with the ground floor having a Google store. After some quick pictures with Google sign boards, we went to Apple which was our final destination. That was a rare experience, getting into Apple Store and visitor’s centre. Shows how Apple can market themselves to blow the socks off its competitors. The Apple visitors centre had a model of the entire campus including office which was built in the shape of a space station. They have interactive iPads which gives a complete immersive experience of each building when you look at the actual model and tap the same building on the iPad. It also had a store and cafe with clean toilets. And if you and T up to the second floor, you would see the actual office building. Great experience for professional nerds who always wanted to be part of Apple, even if from the outside.Overall the tour was a good experience and would def recommend this tour, specially with Fred who was amazing throughout!

My family went on the private tour service with Pep. Pep was amazing! We had 2 kids and needed baby car seat. She had no issue with this and car was super clean too. She explained very well on the history, knew great view points as well where lesser traffic and people. Overall tour was amazing because it was private tour and things could be adjusted based on our needs and time! Definitely recommend Pep! 👍

Amazing day trip. Our guide fulfilled all our additional wishes. We had a great. City tour with all the highlights and a very comprehensive tour through Silicon Valley including Stanford University. We visited Meta, NVIDIA, Google, Apple, and Steve Jobs' house, Microsoft Corp, etc. The service was truly excellent; we arrived in the morning from the ship, and she picked us up at the port with our luggage and dropped us off at the airport in the afternoon. If you want to experience a nice day and are flying in the late afternoon, this is a brilliant private tour and worth every dollar. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Marciano was an amazing and accommodating tour guide. We had a wonderful day. Of course, Muir Woods was spectacular. We also loved seeing sights around San Francisco on our way to the Golden Gate Bridge and having a delicious lunch in Sausalito. We were traveling with a young child and so needed to be flexible which was no problem at all. Marciano had amazing recommendations for the rest of our stay as well. Highly highly recommend!!
