I once got lost in Venice’s winding alleys and ended up at a tiny, hidden café where I made friends with locals over coffee and laughter.
Now your turn! Share your craziest or funniest travel story-whether personal or virtual! But here’s the twist: describe it using only emojis first, then tell us the story behind it.
In today’s digital age, the way we explore places, attend events, or even shop for homes has evolved dramatically. One of the most exciting innovations in this space is the live virtual tour. But how does it actually work? Let’s break it down!
The Setup:
A host uses a smartphone, laptop, or tablet to stream a live virtual tour, connecting to a platform like Zoom or custom virtual tour software.
The Connection:
I LOVE virtual travel! You get to experience amazing locations with a local, feet in the street, guide who is filled with knowledge. Discover Live even has some hidden gem locations, that are so beautiful!

Virtual Tour, Real Decision
Stuck between Barcelona and Lisbon for our anniversary trip, my husband and I turned to Discover Live for help.
Through our virtual guide Sebastian's camera, we explored Barcelona's Gothic Quarter after the crowds had left, discovering hidden courtyards and authentic tapas bars. When I asked about evening noise levels in different neighborhoods, he demonstrated in real-time—information no review could provide.
Two days later, our Lisbon virtual tour with Ines revealed crucial details about the city's infamous hills. When my husband mentioned his knee concerns, Ines immediately showed us the steepness of various streets and demonstrated public transportation options. The moment she took us into a small family-owned pastelaria where the owner cheerfully waved to us through the screen, our decision was made.
We chose Lisbon and arrived feeling like we already knew the city. The confidence from our virtual exploration saved us from wasting precious vacation time getting oriented or falling into tourist traps. Ines had even suggested a perfect boutique hotel that wasn't on any of our original lists.
Our one-hour virtual investment saved our actual vacation—and when we met Ines for coffee during our stay, it felt like reuniting with an old friend.
