Not every space can be understood from a few photos. A 360 virtual tour lets you walk through an interior on a computer or phone and check its layout before you visit.
For a quote, send me the location, floor area, number of rooms and your preferred date. Tell me too where the tour will be used. Before the shoot we agree which rooms go on the route and which places matter most to your audience. Floor area is a starting point, but the number of panoramas depends mainly on the layout of the space and the route of the tour.
97% of consumers search for local businesses online
Many customers look up a venue online before they visit. For restaurants this matters most, because potential guests care above all about the menu and the atmosphere of the place. Panoramic photos are the easiest way to capture the feel of an interior.
Unlike classic photos, which show only selected parts of a venue, you can show more, and by showing you have nothing to hide, the venue gains credibility.

When a tour makes sense
A virtual tour is worth choosing when your audience should see the layout of the whole space, not just selected frames. It works for a restaurant or service venue before the first visit, a hotel, apartment or other accommodation, a clinic, a practice, an educational or sports facility, as well as a flat, house or other property.
The tour works on a computer, phone and tablet. If you need separate shots for a website, a listing or printed materials, see interior photography.
Pricing for 360 virtual tours
The price depends on the number of panoramas, the layout of the space and how the tour is published. The amounts below are a starting point. Before the shoot I confirm the route and the exact scope.

I confirm the scope once I have information about the space.

How a project works
Quote
Before each shoot we agree the rooms to be included in the presentation of the venue and the route of the virtual tour. This is based on a floor plan provided by the client, but it gives only an estimated cost. I prepare the exact quote after seeing the venue before or on the day of the shoot and agreeing the key details, which guarantees a fixed price for the shoot.
Photo shoot
On the day of the shoot, the venue needs to be prepared for photos: tidy the rooms and everything that may end up within the lens’s reach. Please also let staff know about the shoot, because every person or object moving during the session creates blurred ghosts in the photos. Automatic doors should be locked open or shut for the duration of the shoot. A shoot can take about 2-3 hours.
Photo editing and stitching
After the shoot, the photos that make up each panorama are stitched together and edited. During editing or before publication, all personal data, faces and number plates are blurred, in line with the rules for submitting photos to Google Street View. Selected elements can also be blurred at the client’s request, and, if included in the quote, the tripod can be retouched out or a logo added.
Publishing on Google Maps
The finished photos, which will be linked into a virtual tour, are uploaded to Google Maps, where they are processed. This can take up to 72 hours depending on server load and the size of the tour. Until then not all photos and links may be available. When everything is ready, I send you that information together with the source files and the HTML code to embed on your website.
Important information
- You pay for a virtual tour on Google Maps only once
- The photos are stored on Google servers, but every client receives the source files
- The virtual tour works on every device – computer, phone, tablet
- The rights to the photos are transferred to the owner of the Google Business Profile
