Preview Attractions in 3D Before Travelling


New online travel portal, www.Door2Tour.com, based in the UK is offering customers the chance to take a virtual tour of their holiday destinations through Google Earth, allowing travellers to track tours and zoom in on specific attractions using detailed satellite views.

3dwalkthroughs.com is excited about the new services being launched using Google Earth technology because the logical next step is to incorporate 3d walkthroughs, 3d floor plans, and 3d renderings to make the experience even more immersive.


Here is an explanation of of their service from the Door2tour.com website:
With our layer on Google Earth, it's possible to go the extra mile in really exploring a destination before you travel on your coach tour. All towns and cities in our travel guide section are featured in Google Earth, giving fascinating satellite views over world famous cities throughout Italy, France, Spain, Belgium and England.

Select the terrain layer on Google Earth to glide down the slopes of Chamonix taking in impressive Mont Blanc as you go, take a 360-degree tour of the Colosseum and swoop down on the Houses of Parliament. Before you leave on your coach holiday, you can even view the roads and paths that your coach trip may travel!
