What is a Virtual Guided Tour?

Take your virtual tour visitor on a pre-defined, automated journey through your space

The Virtual Guided Tour feature is a powerful tool designed to take your virtual tour visitor on a pre-defined, automated journey through your space. Instead of relying solely on the viewer to navigate and explore on their own, the Guided Tour provides a curated, linear experience that ensures they see all the most important areas and key highlights of your property. Here is a breakdown of what it is and why it’s beneficial for showcasing properties like event spaces, hotels, and holiday lets:

What the Guided Tour Feature Is

  • Curated Walkthrough: It is essentially a slideshow or video-like experience that automatically moves the viewer from one carefully selected “tour stop” (or highlight) to the next within the 3D model.
  • Simple Activation: For the visitor, it’s as easy as clicking or tapping the “Play” button within the virtual tour interface.
  • Customizable Stops: The tour is built using a sequence of snapshots—specific, visually compelling viewpoints set up by the photographer—which are ordered to create a smooth, logical flow through the property.
  • Visitor Control: Crucially, the viewer can pause the guided tour at any point to take over manual navigation and explore the surrounding 3D model on their own.

Key Modes and Benefits

There are two main styles for the Virtual Guided Tour, allowing you to choose the best way to tell your space’s story:

  1. Highlight Reel Mode: This is a classic slideshow experience that guides the user from view to view, often used for a quick, engaging overview.
  2. Story Mode: This enhanced presentation style allows you to add on-screen titles and descriptions (captions) at each stop, providing essential context and messaging. This is perfect for highlighting specific amenities, conference features, or the unique selling points of a luxury holiday let.

By using the Guided Tour, Go Casa can ensure that every potential guest or booker—even those with limited time—gets a professional, polished presentation that highlights the best of your hotel, conference facility or event space.
