What is a Video Tour?
LuxuryTourZone video tours are the most impressive luxury property tours found anywhere on the market today.  Each photo-to-photo video tour montage contains up to 30 photos, incorporates smooth fade transitions, along with inspiring Royalty-Rree music and Hollywood production 3-D animated backgrounds. All tours are created with Windows Media Player version 9 or later and video player is programmed on Auto-Start.  No multi-clicking is needed and the video player can be easily enlarged to any computer monitor size  Note, some Flash players may not be enlarged.     back to top

What is a virtual tour - as compared to video tours?
Traditional "virtual" tours are created with 360° warped and elongated photos that have to be viewed with custom software and operated with multiple clicks.  An average visitor clicks is typically +45 clicks.  These photos cannot be enlarged,  tours do not contain music...thus creating a very frustrating experience for your prospective buyers.
  • Virtual Tour Product:  For an agent to produce a virtual tour, a 360° special photographer needs to be hired using an expensive custom camera lens and that photographer need to be scheduled to take photos at your site.
  • Video Tour Product: For an agent to produce a video tour, a standard digital camera is all that is needed.  Easily do-it-yourself and save lots of time and money!
  • NOTE:  It’s well known in the industry that many 360° photo companies are leaving the business because of its old technology.  Always think about your prospective buyers and Internet visitor first and give them a user-friendly luxury property tour experience…Use the latest technology of True Steaming Video Tours! back to top
