Silicon Valley Private Tour

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.

The driver cum tour guide was helpful and responsible. He would contact me one day before the trip. He also picked me up at my hotel instead of designated hotel. He also dropped me off at my second hotel after the trip. Very much appreciated for the flexibility and always enthusiastic in bringing us around. I like his attitude and service. Excellent

Comfy,Clean and Intimate Experience

Awesome tour! We started with a clean new van equipped with charging cables, which was a great touch. Chris was amazing, friendly knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations for places to eat and visit in while we were in San Francisco. The tour was fantastic and gave us the opportunity to see and visit many of the cities wonderful sights. Chris really helped us appreciate the layout, history and heritage of San Francisco. We especially love the small intimate group experience. It allowed us to spend more time seeing the sites we were most interested in and gave us the opportunity to ask questions that may not have been possible with a larger group. I highly recommend Chris and his tour. It was enjoyable, informative, and a memorable experience. I highly recommend!

The Best of San Francisco eBike Tour

Cindy_K, Sep 2026

Michael (tour guide) was the Filet Mignon - Unlimited Bikes the Ground Beef

Spent 5 days in San Fracisco and BY FAR the best part of our trip was our E-Bike tour with Michael! We had some issues with the bikes - some minor and some major. So, I would definitely recommend that you inspect your bike and the settings and make sure you do some practice runs up the street. Had to change my bike out 3 times before the tour started. We later found out that my daughter's bike would not go up steep inclines - just shut down. This was confirmed by our tour guide and he told us the light green bikes, which my daughter had, are not very powerful and have issues. So, DO NOT GET THE LIGHT GREEN BIKES! My daughter had to walk her bike up 3 or 4 steep hills and that was the worst. So, the bike rental company should really have to refund part of our payment. Regardless, Michael was amazing and took us all over and gave us all sorts of cool facts about the city. He even raced back and retrieved my daughter's fanny-pack that she left behind at a previous stop. I can't rave enough about Michael. Truly, his service and care and total attention to us to make sure we had a good time by far compensated for the crappy bike the bike rental shop gave my daughter.

Wine Tour pros nailed it!

We did two days with Wine Tour Pros. Each day was filled with fabulous boutique wineries. These are the “hidden gems” that make Napa so much fun. Jeremy took the time to listen to our needs and planned our route perfectly. Our driver, Kristo was prompt and attentive. He took great care of us both days. The Mercedes Sprinter was nice classy and clean for our large group. Overall, I would book with them again and look forward to the next adventure with Wine Tour Pros!
