Welcome to VisualTravelTours Join us as we reinvent your travel experience!

VisualTravelTours (VTT) is the largest source for professionally produced guided walking and driving tours purposely created for cell phones and other mobile devices. Taking a Visual Travel Tour is like having a friend show you around.

Here are links to our two formats:

Affordable: For under $20 you can follow a friendly tour guide. Save 75% over most personal guides!

Convenient: Use on any mobile device, on your schedule, at your pace

Compelling: Expert writers with firsthand knowledge and insider tips

Entertaining: Hours of fun for you, or (for local residents) for your houseguests

Simple: Just “click” to play or pause – no internet or cell network coverage necessary

Solutions: No guidebook, no rushing, no crowds. Includes a map to print & an interactive one too

Each tour would be about 30 minutes played beginning to end, but a route might actually be few hours or a complete day of entertainment, with stops along the way. Our goal is not to replace your experience in the field with a video, but rather offer reference photos, so you know which building the narrator is referring to. Back-seat drivers can now preview a tour and become the "experts" once the group arrives at their destination.

When preparing for a trip, most travelers get information about new places and not-to-miss locations by buying books or videos, listening to recommendations, attending lectures, searching the internet or reading travel company brochures.

The founders of Visual Travel Tours were the first to leverage today’s technology to change the way we take a walking tour. They realized that most of us travel with a cell phone, iPod, PDA, or other mobile device. This seasoned management team learned that travelers wanted guided tours and information from local experts to be accessible from anywhere in the world, conveniently presented in the palm of their hand and at a competitive price of under $20. And so www.VisualTravelTours.com was born.

We are dedicated to enhancing your travel experience by providing insider information in many formats that can be quickly and easily accessed by mobile phone and other devices. VisualTravelTours.com is for people who love the convenience of technology while they travel.

Based in Santa Barbara, California, the company is led by President Marie Profant, who is a long-time manager of leading-edge systems. A team of experts, from publishers to audio/video producers, joins her and travel writing expert and Executive Editor Gordon Burgett to create Visual Travel Tours.
