Welcome to the
Virtual Traveler:
While there are numerous websites and apps
that offer 360-degree panoramic tours, there are few that
combine the immersive photographic content with in-depth
historical information. This website seeks to fill that
gap by providing virtual tours that offer a 360-degree
perspective while also explaining their historical
significance. Virtual Traveler--the world awaits . . .
NEWS: June 2026 Changes and Updates
We have a new, higher resolution camera
that will be used on all tours moving forward
The problem with 360 YouTube videos has
been fixed--all 360 videos have been uploaded to a new
server that will allow embeds, and will run properly on
mobile devices as well
All 63 tours have been checked to
ensure all photos, videos and audio tracks work as
intended

About the Virtual Traveler Project
I am a retired international school teacher who
enjoys visiting historic sites and creating virtual tours for
students, the disabled, and armchair travelers. I am continually
building up this website, making desktop tours and "VR" versions
for use with virtual reality headsets. Please bookmark or click
on notifications prompt so that you can return to see what has
been added. Most of the software used to make these tours is
free or inexpensive, and well within the reach of most teachers
and hobbyists. If you have questions about how to make these
tours, suggestions for tours you would like to see, or
suggestions for improving the tours on this site, please email me at VirtualTraveler@Hotmail.com..
