Question 1

What makes Discover Live virtual tours different?

Accepted Answer

Our live virtual tours feature expert local guides leading real-time HD video experiences from destinations worldwide. Unlike pre-recorded content, you can ask questions and interact with your guide in real-time. It's active engagement, not passive watching.

Question 2

What is the difference between a VR tour, 360 tour, and a live, virtual tour?

Accepted Answer

VR tours use headsets in computer-generated environments without live guide interaction. 360-degree tours are pre-recorded panoramic videos you explore at your own pace with no live guidance. Live virtual tours stream real-time HD video from actual destinations with an expert guide who answers questions, shares insights, and responds to your interests as it happens—the closest digital experience to being there.
