Computer History Museum

The Computer History Museum houses the largest collection of computing artifacts in the world. The collection comprises nearly 90,000 objects and photos, 4,000 feet of cataloged documentation, and hundreds of gigabytes of software. If you're a major techie, this place will be right up your alley.

Good info on an interesting region in California. Should be updated as time goes by. Getting the tour the work was a bit of a challenge for a new user, but we managed.

We did this tour on Christmas Day which meant zero traffic. There’s a lot of good information and clear directions. Very nice voice. It should include the Apple Ring building somehow.

Ooh, that’s a great way to avoid traffic! Thanks for the suggestion on the extra Apple building — we have an Alt Stop for it since it’s so far away, but will look for a way to include it as a Main Stop in the future. We also have more self-guided audio tours across the country at ActionTourGuide.com! Thanks again!

This self driving tour was an amazing experience. I liked that I can drive my rental car and spend as much time (long or short) on each stop rather than being fixed with specific time frame. The narrater’s voice and information were very engaging and informative. The app guided me step by step using a map with pictures and voice directions. I several campuses and buildings such as the following: 1. Facebook 2. Amazon (AWS) 3. Google 4. Microsoft 5. Apple (Infinity Loop & Apple Park) 6. Tesla 7. Hewlett-Packard (HP) garage 8. Stanford University campus I was only able to view the campuses from outside, and I didn’t access the buildings. Visiting the buildings would require permissions and/reservations, so ensure to do your own research if that’s possible.

Thanks for this very thorough review! There’s so much cool stuff to see in Silicon Valley that we think giving the listener total control over their pace is the only way to do it! For more self-guided tours across the country, check out our website at ActionTourGuide.com. Thanks again!
