There are many different ways to travel- backpacking, solo travel, exploration, camping; but one of the newer ways to explore a location is through a virtual tour.
Maybe you missed something during your trip and simply have to experience it in any way possible, maybe you’re preparing yourself and making sure you are well oriented in a new city, or maybe your tour got rained off at the last minute.
