Why heritage sites use virtual tours

The most interesting spaces in a historic house are often the hardest to reach: rooms up a steep staircase, passages too narrow for a wheelchair, attics and chapels closed for conservation. A 360 tour lets every visitor see them, on a kiosk in the entrance hall or at home before they plan a trip.

A tour can also do what a rope barrier cannot: let visitors look at a tapestry, a portrait or a piece of furniture up close, with the story behind it in your own words, and come back to it after the visit. Read more in our guide to virtual tours for museums, heritage sites and visitor attractions.

Photographed around your visitors

We can photograph before opening or on a closed day, and we work around the collection rather than moving it. Matterport scans, drone aerials of the house and grounds and still photography can be added on the same visit, and for gardens and larger sites our Signposted visitor map can sit alongside the tour.

What’s included

What a heritage tour includes

Every tour is planned around the house, its collection and its visitors, then photographed in one visit.

Every room, including the hard ones

Upstairs rooms, tight passages and spaces closed to the public, so visitors who cannot manage the stairs miss nothing.

Objects up close

A marker for each object of interest, with a close-up photograph and a description written by your curators or volunteers.

Audio and film

Stories recorded by your volunteers, played as an audio guide, and films from the people who know the place best.

Kiosks and touchscreens

A version for a tablet or touchscreen in the entrance hall, with large buttons and text, as well as the tour on your website.

Dark rooms, shown properly

Panelled rooms and low light photographed with long exposures and layered images, so the detail of a ceiling or wallpaper shows.

From the website to the visit

Links to plan a visit or buy tickets from every screen, if you want them, so the tour helps people decide to come.

Two ways to build it

Bespoke 360 or 360 Studio?

Both start with the same photography, but they are different styles of tour, built and navigated differently, and they suit different projects.

Bespoke 360 tour

Built offline by our team as a finished, self-contained tour and supplied for your website, intranet or kiosk. Content is fixed at launch and we make any later changes for you. The interface is designed around your brand, so this is the option with the widest design freedom, and it suits small and large sites alike. No yearly fee.

  • From £700, no ongoing fee
  • Widest design options, for small and large sites
  • Hosted on your site or ours
  • Changes made by us on request

360 Studio tour

A different style of tour, hosted on 360 Studio, our platform with a content management system. Your team edits scenes, hotspots and branding, duplicates the tour for new audiences and reads the analytics. Best when your team wants to make changes themselves and the tour will be updated regularly.

  • From £700, plus a platform and hosting licence from £150 a year
  • Best for tours your team will update
  • Edit it yourself whenever things change
  • Analytics, collaborators and password protection
How it works

From first message to live tour

Four steps, one named contact, and a clear price before anything is booked.

  1. 1

    Quote

    Tell us about the building and what the tour is for. A clear, no-obligation price, with no travel charges anywhere in mainland UK.

  2. 2

    Plan

    We agree the scene list, navigation and hotspot content with you. Our preparation checklist gets each space camera-ready.

  3. 3

    Shoot

    A photographer captures each scene on full-frame DSLR kit, five to ten minutes per scene. Drone 360s and still photography can be added on the same visit.

  4. 4

    Build and launch

    Every scene is individually edited and built into your branded tour. A bespoke 360 tour is supplied for your website; a 360 Studio tour goes live on our platform with editing access for your team. Allow one to four weeks depending on size.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Just get in touch, or even better, book a video consultation.

Can the tour run on a kiosk in the house?

Yes. We can supply a version for a tablet or touchscreen, with large buttons and text, as we did for Lytes Cary Manor, alongside the tour on your website.

Can you photograph dark rooms without extra lighting?

Yes. We use long exposures and layer many images, so panelled rooms and unlit spaces show their detail without lighting being brought in.

Can the tour include audio from our volunteers?

Yes. Recorded stories can play as an audio guide while visitors look around, as they do in the Market Lavington Museum tour.
