‘We developed these Virtual tours this year during the difficult times when our “actual” tours had to be suspended, although we had started looking into the possibility of a virtual tour much earlier to try and fill the gap for people who couldn’t personally attend, due to their geographical location or physical or other disabilities.
The process of developing the virtual experience was then accelerated due to the pandemic and we are very proud of our finished Virtual Victoria Tunnel Experience and our Virtual School Workshop.’
