What virtual tour modes does virtualvacation.us offer?

virtualvacation.us offers eleven distinct exploration modes, each built around a different way of experiencing a place remotely. If you want to walk a city street, drive between cities, fly overhead, watch live footage, or test yourself with a location-guessing game, the site has a dedicated mode for it. The modes are listed on the homepage as cards, each with a "Begin!" link, so you can pick one and start without creating anything first.

Walking and driving modes

These are the closest to a ground-level visit.

• Walking Tour — Walk around 100+ cities around the globe, with street scenery and street sounds. This is the mode to choose if you want the feel of strolling through a neighborhood rather than just viewing it.
• Driving Tour — Drive around and view the scenery from 100+ cities. Same city coverage as the walking tour, but from a vehicle perspective.
• Road Trip — Experience road trips by virtually driving between cities. Where Driving Tour stays within a city, Road Trip is about the journey from one place to another.

Aerial and live-view modes

These trade ground detail for scale or immediacy.

• Flying Tour — Enjoy the view from above for over 80+ cities. Useful when you care about layout, skyline, and geography more than street-level detail.
• Live Cam — View LIVE footage from different cities around the world. This is the only mode built on real-time feeds rather than recorded or generated tours.
• Virtual Window — Experience window views from hundreds of different cities. A static, ambient option if you just want a view rather than a walk.

Guessing games

Two related modes turn exploration into a challenge.

• City Guesser — Guess your location from your surroundings while you walk around and admire the scenery.
• Guessing Game — The homepage frames it directly: can you recognize where a city is just by walking around it? The site notes it was inspired by GeoGuessr.

If your goal is to be tested rather than simply shown a place, start with City Guesser. If you want the same idea framed as a standalone game, use Guessing Game.

Other exploration modes

• Monuments — Explore different famous and not-famous monuments from around the world.
• VidEarth — Click on cities on a map to view videos from that city. This is the most map-driven option, good when you already know where you want to look.
• Travel Hub — Explore the world by walking, driving, flying, and viewing live footage of different locations. Treat this as the combined entry point when you don't want to commit to a single mode.

How to choose

One practical note: the site describes itself as a way to "explore the world from home," and the modes are organized as cards on a single homepage. There is no indication in the available material of a paid tier or a required account, but the page also doesn't state terms either way, so treat access details as something to confirm on the site itself. The footer credits the site as © 2021 and includes a "Submit Video" link, which suggests some content comes from user or third-party submissions.
