what is a virtual tour?
See inside your business with Immersive 360-degree virtual tours at affordable rates
A virtual tour is a simulated experience of a real-world location. It is created by stitching together a series of 360-degree images or videos, which allows users to explore the location as if they were actually there. Virtual tours can be used for a variety of purposes, including real estate, tourism, education, and business.
Using an immersive 360-degree virtual tour is a powerful way to show off a place of interest, business any space to potential customers, partners, and investors. Virtual tours allow for a complete and immersive view of the business, giving viewers a sense of the environment and a better understanding of the services or products the place or business has to offer.
A virtual tour can showcase physical spaces, highlighting key features and amenities. It allows for a more interactive experience, providing viewers with the ability to virtually walk through at their own leisure and as if they were physically present. Virtual walkthroughs can showcase products and services, for example giving customers a unique insight into the products and services a business provides.
Having a virtual tour can also be an excellent marketing tool. It allows a businesses or place to showcase visually appealing and engaging content that can be easily shared on social media platforms and other websites. By providing a unique and memorable experience for potential customers, a place or business can generate more interest, engaging customers and potentially lead to more visits, engagement and sales.
Overall, the 360 degree walkthrough virtual tour is a great way for a place or business to showcase its offerings in a immersive, unique and interactive way, potentially increasing customer engagement and revenue.
What are the benefits of a Virtual Tour?
There are many benefits to using virtual tours, including:
- Reach a wider audience: Virtual tours can be accessed by people all over the world, regardless of their location. This means that you can reach a much wider audience with your virtual tour than you could with a traditional in-person tour.
- Save time and money: Virtual tours can save you time and money by eliminating the need for in-person tours. This is especially beneficial for businesses that are located in remote areas or that have a large number of locations.
- Promote your business: Virtual tours can be used to promote your business by showcasing your products or services to potential customers. This can help to increase sales and attract new business.
- Enhance learning: Virtual tours can be used for educational purposes by providing students with a virtual field trip to a location that they would not otherwise be able to visit. This can help to enhance their learning experience and make it more engaging.

If you are a UK business looking to commission a 360° virtual tour, this is the complete guide to your options. We cover what UK virtual tour services include, how much they cost, which provider type fits your business, and how to publish your tour to Google Maps and Street View. Trusted Photography has been delivering UK virtual tour services since 2012 — for businesses from small cafés to LEGO, BMW, Currys, Hamleys and the Universities of Nottingham and Salford.

What are UK virtual tour services?
UK virtual tour services let businesses publish an immersive 360° walkthrough of their premises online. A trained operator visits your business with a professional 360° camera, captures every customer-facing area as a series of connected viewpoints, processes and stitches the imagery, and publishes the live tour to your chosen platform — typically Google Maps, your own website, or both.
From a customer’s perspective the result is a tour they can navigate like Google Street View: click into your reception, look around, move into the next room, look around again. Mobile-friendly, desktop-friendly, no app install required.
The category also includes Matterport tours (3D models with floor plans), aerial drone footage, business video production, and Google Business Profile management — most UK virtual tour services agencies bundle these together.
Types of UK virtual tour services explained
There are three core types of UK virtual tour service to choose between:
Google Street View virtual tours
Captured by a 360° photographer and published directly to your Google Business Profile and Google Maps via Google’s Street View Studio. Hosted by Google for free, indefinitely. Visible to anyone searching for your business on Google Maps. The most common UK virtual tour service for hospitality, retail, restaurants and small-to-mid businesses.
Matterport tours
3D-capture systems that produce a navigable model plus a “dollhouse” floor-plan view and measurement tools. Hosted on Matterport’s platform with an ongoing subscription. Strong for estate agents, property developers, AEC (architecture, engineering and construction), and large training facilities. See our detailed Matterport vs Google Street View comparison for the practical trade-offs.
Custom-hosted virtual tours
Bespoke 360° tours hosted on your own website with custom branding, interactive hotspots, e-commerce integration and bespoke feature sets. More expensive than Google Street View, more flexible than Matterport. Best for brand-led venues where the tour is a marketing centrepiece.
UK virtual tour services by business sector
Different sectors need different things from a virtual tour. We have built dedicated UK virtual tour services for each:
- Hotel virtual tours — guest-facing spaces from lobby to bedrooms, ideal for direct bookings
- Car dealership virtual tours — showroom and forecourt tours used by BMW, MINI, Manheim and Dick Lovett

How much do UK virtual tour services cost?
Pricing for UK virtual tour services starts from around £300 for a small retail outlet and scales with the size and complexity of the space. Pricing factors include the number of 360° points captured, your UK location, hosting choice, and any optional extras (floor plans, drone footage, business video, GBP management). See our full pricing guide or read our deeper analysis on how much a 360° virtual tour costs in the UK.
How does the UK virtual tour services process work?
- Brief and quote. You tell us about your business — type, size, location, what you want the tour to achieve. We respond with a free, no-obligation quote within 1–2 working days.
- Schedule the shoot. We agree a shoot day (often within 1–2 weeks) and any access requirements — out-of-hours, lift access, lighting needs.
- On-site capture. Our 360° photographer arrives with professional equipment, walks the space with you, then captures every viewpoint. A typical small business shoot takes 2–4 hours; larger venues take half a day or a full day.
- Image processing. Back at our studio we stitch the 360° imagery, colour-correct, remove unwanted artefacts, and apply Google’s metadata requirements.
- Publish. Your tour goes live on your Google Business Profile and Google Maps (for Street View tours) or on your chosen platform. We hand over an embed code for your own website.
- Ongoing. We provide support and refresh shoots as you refurbish or rebrand. Tours stay live indefinitely.

Frequently asked questions about UK virtual tour services
How long does a UK virtual tour shoot take?
A typical small business shoot (café, retail unit, gym studio) takes 2–4 hours on site. Larger venues such as hotels, car showrooms or universities take a half or full day. We deliver the live, hosted tour within 5–10 working days of capture.
Do UK virtual tour services work for small businesses?
Absolutely. We specialise in shoots from a single-room retail outlet upward, starting at around £300. A single 360° tour can transform the Google Business Profile for a small business — driving more direction-requests, calls and walk-ins than any other single asset.
Will my tour appear on Google?
Yes — Google Street View tours are published directly to your Google Business Profile and Google Maps, where they appear in local search results, “near me” queries and the Map pack. They stay there indefinitely, hosted by Google for free.
Do you still publish tours to Google now the Trusted Photographer programme has ended?
Yes. Google retired its formal Trusted Photographer programme, but the underlying ability to publish 360° tours to Google Maps and Street View remains fully available through Google’s Street View Studio. Read our full explainer on the programme for the story.
