Silicon Valley refers to the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area, located between San Jose, in Santa Clara County and San Francisco Area. The region has expanded to include the southern half of the San Francisco Peninsula in San Mateo County, and southern portions of the East Bay in Alameda County as well. The communities, collectively known as Silicon Valley, are the home base for the heart and soul of computer technology. This is a very large and extensive area and requires several days to see all these tech giants and famous sites. It is impossible to cover so many cities and counties in a day trip without guidance. This is where our expert guides come in handy to save you time and money, by squeezing in as many attractions and sites in a one-day private and custom tour, tailored to your own preference and expectations. You won’t be disappointed - both the destination and our tour guides are highly rated - and you will have a memorable journey in Silicon Valley.
