This audio, self-guided tour was very challenging to follow. We missed most of the narration, as the prompts were not intuitive or easy to follow.
Hi eup949, thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that the audio tour was difficult to follow and that you missed much of the narration—that’s not the experience we want for our guests. If you could kindly message us with the specific issues you encountered, our team will address them immediately to make sure this doesn’t happen again. As an apology, we’d love to invite you on a complimentary app guided tour so you can fully enjoy the stories and sites of Silicon Valley without any technical frustrations. Please reach out to us directly, and we’ll be happy to arrange this for you. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again and provide the smooth, enjoyable experience you were expecting. Thank you!
Very bad and sad experience, no trip, no guide, no one to speack with... We where waiting for the guide driver that never came. Not nice when you are in holidays.
I made a big mistake spending my $50 by driving on the street & saw nothing. Only thing I saw was a Google shop in Shoreline. Would not recommend this to my worst enemy either
The tour used a Pintour app that the GPS directions continuously was not accurate. The narrator information was not informative and the directions that were verbally transmitted were not the same as what was displayed on the screen. A technical nightmare in Silicon Valley other than that, enjoy your tour!
This is just an app you listen to on your phone with a bunch of repetitive background music. We did the tour with the driver which was $600 for 3 people, very expensive. The driver is just that, a driver. He doesn’t narrate. The driver was awesome and really nice, but not a tour guide. You have to listen to the app while he drives you. The tour is much longer than 2 hrs. And we didn’t stop at every stop. Because of this, we didn’t go to 2 of the stops. This could have been a great tour. Some tour company should pick this up and make a go of it. This is not that company.
Terrible app pintours. Lost my money. False advertising. None of the corporate visitor center acknowledged the tour.
Hi Bhavin, Thank you for reaching out to us! Here at Pintours, we offer the world's best tours! You just need to start the tour in the app, and keep it running. You only need to start it once. The tour is meant to get an overview of the tech campuses, but not actually go inside each campus, as many have privacy concerns. But there are a few campuses that offer the option to explore. At Meta, you are supposed to take pictures at the Sign, and then head to the next stops, which you can explore a bit more - HP Garage - Google HQ - Stanford, - Nasa - Apple Visitor Park All of these stops offer a bunch of activities and allow you to explore more!
Had a blast on this tour with my kids! Only had a few days in Silicon Valley, and they picked me up from my hotel and showed us the best stops of Silicon Valley! You also get the Pintours app to dive deeper on each of the stops!
Best way to see the world famous Silicon Valley! We got to see all the famous companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook! My kids learned a lot and are super inspired to get into technology!
Wow, learned a bunch about Silicon Valley and it’s origins! Cool tour that stops at all the tech campuses! Lots of good photo opportunities
I used private car and listen on the apps for the explanations, it's so effective and we can move to several places in short term, but unfortunately some locations are closed / have a strict regulations to entry / photo. but overall this is an amazing experience.
