Drive instructions were too late on crossings. too late to move to the correct lanes. That made us very insecure while driving. I think that if give route in a different way like a route in Google/ Apple Maps would be much nicer.

I'm sorry to hear you had trouble navigating the self-guided audio tour of Silicon Valley. Do you remember where you were having difficulty? Please notify me so that I can address the problem. In any case, I will gladly exchange the tour for any of my other 100 US tours. Please inform me.

We enjoyed the commentary along the route. Perfect activity for a rainy day. Best part was visiting the apple park activity center, although it was near, but not on the route. We could get out of the car and see the augmented reality display of the park and visit a big apple store and cafe, as no visitors are permitted inside any of these tech headquarters. But we enjoyed seeing their locations and listening to the history and commentary of the quide.

The app was a little confusing. We had a hard time following along. Would be nice to hook up to the car gps. Tour a little long.
