Highlights

Welcome to the ultimate Silicon Valley journey! On this 5- to 6-hour tour, we will explore the landmarks, campuses, and untold stories of the companies that define the digital lives and the future. The tour includes a Yummi Lunch. Hi, I'm Frank, Tech Fanatic, Silicon Valley Historian, and a bilingual business leader who has spent over two decades calling the Bay Area home, and even longer falling in love with the stories hidden in its streets. My career took me deep into the tech world, building global partnerships and personally guiding international executives through the very campuses where the future gets built. I hold a BS in Political Science and Public Administration. I've earned specialized certifications in AI Agent Fundamentals and the Foundations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, so the history I share is grounded, and the trends I explain are current. Fluent in English and Spanish

About San Francisco

San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.

Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
