Culture From Home 3

As excited as I got when I first started looking into virtual travel, I confess I have been extremely bad at organising myself into not just looking for opportunities, but sitting down and doing them!

However last Sunday a friend told me about Virtual Trips, which is a site that runs amazing live virtual tours. That they run at a set time, and there’s lots of options all in one place nicely categorised, seems to have made all the difference, as I’ve done five in less than a week, and have more booked.

They are free, supported by tips, which go to the local professional guides and administration costs. All the ones I have looked at have been thirty or forty-five minutes, so they’re not too difficult to fit into your day—each one is a tour of an area or attraction in the region of your choice.

I highly recommend!
