But there are plenty more digital companies that started in San Francisco, from Dropbox and Pinterest to X (Formerly Twitter) and Netflix; it’s undoubtedly the global hub for technology start-ups and digital inspiration.

Why choose Silicon Valley as the destination for your student trips?

A student trip to Silicon Valley is an amazing experience. It mixes new ideas, a lively business spirit, and direct views into the future. This makes it a great place for educational trips for students of computer science.

Learn from tech pioneers and industry history

They will learn how much the industry has grown since the 1940s and 1950s. This helps them understand where today's technology comes from and where it's going.

Discover famous San Francisco sights

Beyond the tech companies, San Francisco boasts its own iconic landmarks. Among them is the legendary Golden Gate Bridge - widely recognised as the world's most famous and one of the most photographed bridges on Earth. No sixth form or college visit to San Francisco would be complete without seeing this iconic bridge.

Visit Alcatraz: A unique historical tour

Also synonymous with San Francisco, is its infamous former prison, Alcatraz. Once home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, it earned a fearsome reputation, especially as many tried and failed to escape 'The Rock.'
