What is a virtual tour?

A virtual tour is a digital construction of a property that allows you to walk through the space as if you were there in person; a marketing and sales tool used to view and share a space in a responsive and immersive 360° environment. They are built from collections of panoramic photographs, 'stitched' together to form a full 360° view of each space in a property, then linked together to produce the final tour.                                

Special cameras, lenses, technology, tripods, rotating devices, methods and know-how are used to bring a tour together into a stunning, immersive visual experience for the viewer.

We'll simply remove the tour/s from our servers and wish you all the best.

This is a risk-free opportunity to boost your marketing.

Where would my virtual tours appear?

Once you have approved the virtual tours and paid, we integrate the tours free of charge wherever required:

  • Your website
  • Your property listings, anywhere - Airbnb, VRBO, booking.com, just anywhere
  • Facebook 
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • LinkedIn
  • YouTube
  • Other social media
  • Email the link
  • WhatsApp the link
  • Any other method you have of communicating with potential customers (hmmm, they're not great in a letter mind, tho a link could be added)

Also, the virtual tours are added to Google Street View, see Google Street View below.

What can you supply re Google Street View?

We add all virtual tours to Google Street View, entirely free of charge.

A hotspot will appear on Google Street View directly on your property, the viewer clicks on the hotspot and is passed seamlessly into the virtual tour.

This is an awesome added value extra.

There's an adage in this industry…

The more you show Google, the more Google show you. Couldn't be truer.

What about hosting fees?

Hosting is included for the first 12 months. Beyond this, there is a hosting fee of £40 + VAT per property per year.

You don't charge expenses?

For properties within 50 miles of Ashton-in-Makerfield there are no expenses charged. Beyond 50 miles is 0.50p per additional mile - so if you're 90 miles away, we'd like you to cover 40 miles = £20.

We hope that is reasonable - we just couldn't travel to, say, Devon for a six-scene virtual tour without covering costs.

Additionally if we need to stay overnight this would need to be covered. We only use modest accommodation in this instance (normally the cheaper end of what's available on laterooms…kind of averse to hostels tho if you don't mind).

How much experience do you have in producing virtual tours? Are you just jumping on the latest trend?

We have masses of experience, and love what we do (which, at the end of the day, is put a smile on people's faces).

I have worked in the web industry for decades; this often included photographing properties using specialist equipment and creating virtual tours to showcase properties online in the best way possible.

In the noughties I owned and curated a number of virtual tour websites and created over 3000 virtual tours. Now, in the 2020s, the technology and load speeds have improved so dramatically, it is time to use my wealth of experience in a modern way. It is time for you to add a virtual tour to your online presence.

In the past we developed virtual tours for:

  • Rental properties
  • Holiday cottages
  • New properties
  • Villas
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Cars (interior)
  • Offices
  • Many more

So yes, we kinda know what we're doing.

Ok, what are the real benefits?

The benefits for any visitor to your virtual tour are that they can:

  • Gain a real appreciation of the property
  • Click to move from room to room for the full virtual tour
  • Click to view outdoor space
  • Click to toggle full screen
  • Click to share
  • Click to view any additional info indicated by an info hot-spot (for example the WiFi password), video, other online elements.

The benefits for yourself is that the potential visitors get a real impression of what you have to offer, and are far more likely to use your establishment if they like what they see in the virtual tour.

When is the best time to do the photography?

The ideal time to do the photography work is when the property is vacant, clean and empty. It might sound odd to not want people in the shoot, but it just doesn't work. Well, occasionally, but it's rare.

We call this the 'shoot window' to sound all posh.

On arrival we will take a look around and plan with you exactly the best order to do the shoot.

We use specialised equipment to take the photographs, moving around the property as planned - this way we ensure routes for viewers are clear and obvious.

We just need the address and meet-up details. Any special parking info would be useful also. And let us know about any info hot-spots you might like.

And that's it! We'll get the results to you on a special bespoke website within 48 hours. This will be named virtualtour.group/[your surname]/[your property name]. 

You won't be disappointed.
