13 Virtual travel tours that will tempt you

There are virtual travel tours for virtually any destination in the world, a sad but temporary nomadic adjustment. Right now, millions of People are just itching to hop on any plane to any destination. Unfortunately exploring for most of us has been through Google, Firefox, or MS Explorer for the last four months.

Recently, I discovered the world of virtual reality tours. Yes, I know, it’s not the same as going somewhere and sometimes the tours are a bit disappointing. Most of the time they don’t even work, or they’re not in 360-degree form. I don’t know about you, but I’m a little tired of watching Netflix for the last 4 months so I’ve put together a list of my favorite Inspirational virtual tours that share some of the greatest places on Earth.
