Really cool experience. The guide still held the tour even though it was snowing heavily which we appreciated. The tech really lends itself well to being at the same exact spots as the scenes the VR shows you. Would definitely recommend and especially for kids and those who’d like a break from walking tours. It was nice to sit and take it in. The VR really made the history of the Louvre come to life in a way you don’t get to see otherwise.
I confirm what others have said about this VR tour. Vladina was an excellent guide, both with regards to history and in the use of the VR headset. The VR was very well done; it actually felt like the cat was walking by your feet.
The two visits (Louvre and Eiffel Tower ) are very documented and the guides very informed. A very pleasant experience. I also recomand the visits to English speaking travelers 👍 Floriane
Superb visit experience: very fun, entertaining with Vladina who comments on this immersion with very interesting comments on the different periods of the construction of the Louvre 👍👍👍
Whether in front of the Eiffel Tower or at the Louvre, we all loved these 2 virtual reality tours offered by Viality Tour! They did an incredible documentary search to create beautiful historical settings as close as possible to reality. We are really well immersed in the Mood and the stages of construction of the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre. Must see! It is hoped that they will create more such visits.
Yesterday my partner and I had visited the Viality Tour of the Louvre and we loved the concept. Going back through history and being teleported back in time is an incredible experience that we recommend to history buffs and people who want to discover the history of this monument... On Saturday we will visit Viality Tour of the Eiffel Tower! Too eager!!
"Vladina was an outstanding guide! The virtual reality tour brought the Louvre’s history to life—from 1260 through the French Revolution—in a way that was both engaging and easy to visualize. One of the most memorable ways I’ve ever learned history!" My husband and I were also so grateful for the personal touch Vadina offered with her kindness and vast knowledge of these historical periods. What a joyful way to celebrate French history!
After the unforgettable experience of building the Eiffel Tower and immersing ourselves in the World’s Fair, we were looking forward to visiting the Louvre. Immersion again allows you to follow the evolution of the buildings to the present Palace for 10 centuries and to live the tragic hours summarized in one line in our history books. Vladina’s knowledge makes it a unique moment!
