Explore the birthplace of modern tech with a self-guided audio tour through Silicon Valley. Drive past the legendary headquarters of Apple, Google, Facebook, Tesla, and more as your GPS-based guide shares stories about the visionaries behind the screens—Gates vs. Jobs, Zuckerberg’s rise, Bezos’s empire, Musk’s eccentric mind, and the innovations that transformed the world.

You’ll learn about Zuckerberg’s controversial vision and discover Amazon’s secret weapon—AWS—in a nondescript building you’d never suspect. At Google, stroll through the Android Garden and the Googleplex campus. Then explore the beginnings of Microsoft, play the first-ever video game at a museum stop, and trace how Gates helped shape the digital age.

Next, dive into Apple’s legacy, including the epic rivalry between Jobs and Gates, with a chance to visit the garage where Apple was born. Then it’s time to swap smartphones for smart cars as you drive toward Tesla and hear about Elon Musk’s wild ride.

Finally, end at Stanford University, the launchpad for countless startups, and stop by the Hewlett-Packard Garage—the true birthplace of Silicon Valley.

With audio that plays automatically based on your location, you’re free to explore at your own pace.
