The tour begins at Diridon Station in San José and will last about an hour – you should also leave another 30-45 minutes to get back to Diridon Station when you’re done. To get there, take Amtrak from the east bay, or CalTrain from the north bay to downtown San José.
This tour is also going to require you getting on VTA light rail from Diridon Station to downtown.
