History of architecture
Omid is a great guide One day by accident I thought lets go to this guide Glad I did this I am now trying to go everytime Thanks Omid for all your great talks/tours Greetings from the Netherlands Nathalie
Lovely tour of Crépy-en-Valois
I enjoyed my tour of Crépy-en-Valois! When I learned this tour was going to cover a town that is pivotal to Medieval French history, I was all for it. France was the cultural and artistic standard of the medieval world and this tour gave me that vibe all the way through. Patrick is very well informed about the subject he’s speaking on and you can see his passion for French history come out as he walked us through the city. I look forward to the next one that is about the birth of Impressionism!
Excellent knowledge of Art History
I watched Omid’s webinars on Dalí, Picasso, and his comparison of Leonardo and Michelangelo, and I found them all incredibly informative. He delves deeply into each topic—exploring the artists’ styles and techniques, their political and religious views, analyses of their most famous works and even the physics of the painted image. Omid’s way of explaining things is truly captivating, and I look forward to learning even more from him.
Fascinating tour
I enjoyed an interesting talk with Filiz on Istanbul. She was warm, friendly and welcoming. Thank you very much.
Roman square mile
Truly one of the best and most interesting guides I’ve listened and watched in ages! Can’t wait for the st Bartholomew’s tour !
Heart centered Prague tour
I love all the heart you bring into the tour. Lovely to listen to you and the joy that you share with us. Especially about how it feels like to be there. Thanks again!
Van Gogh: The Man – Best talk ever
I have seen many of Lillian’s talks and have enjoyed them all. Her talk on Van Gogh: The Art and The Man is the best one I’ve ever attended. Her compassion and enthusiasm for her subject was evident. I appreciate the recordings that are available now. I would have missed seeing this great talk otherwise.
Beautiful way to show a lot places
She’s so kind and sweet, has a beautiful way to show the world. She’s easiest to follow for people who doesn’t have English as a native language.
Wonderful winter themed movies.
I love Kelli’s tours and this one was fun and informative. I look forward to her upcoming tours.
Art Nouveau/art Deco
Just finished viewing a wonderful tour with Patrick. He is so prepared and his presentation is so professional. I always learn so much……
Very interesting and fun!
Haussmann tour was just the right blend of showing us what the Opera District looks like now with historical background of when and why the streets and buildings were designed as they were. Just enough history that I want to read more about it. And so much fun to see places I visited in person many years ago. Thank you Patrick for another wonderful tour!
Passion for history, art, beauty
Lilllian’s tours are always a treat. She wears her expertise lightly but takes us through even the most complex and inaccessible of subjects — like the art of the Normans in Sicily — with ease and enthusiasm. Her detailed knowledge and fluent delivery are captivating and bring very beautiful — and sometimes very strange — new worlds to life. Even though i was familiar with this topic, there were many features that she pointed out and described that I had missed or overlooked. I would love this tour to be available on demand because it repays repeat viewing. But i value all of her tours.
Overview of Spain
Good mix of history, tourism, art & architecture. Omid is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject. Visual aids are excellent. He is the best kind of guide – a good teacher.
Loving the Paris tours
I’ve been to Paris, but Patrick always takes me places I haven’t seen and gives me ideas for my next trip. He’s very knowledgeable and friendly.
Outstanding!
Really enjoyed “Elvis in Hollywood” – many wonderful clips, with interesting background information. Very well presented. Looking forward to more film history lectures in the future.
Always enjoyable
Lively, so interesting, wonderful stories. This tour of the Bas Marais was excellent. Learning so much more than when I was in Paris in person!
Excellent historical review
Omid is knowledgeable, well-prepared, and shows interesting visual aids that make history come to life. Very well done.
INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION !
WOW ! Erica’s Presentation: BABYLONIAN NIGHT SKY: As They Saw It was, in one word: INCREDIBLE ! Her intimate knowledge and outstanding verbal presentation skills combined with incredible visuals was SPELLBINDING and CAPTIVATING; even for a mere armchair astronomer.
Babylonian archers….who knew??
Erica’s tour on the Babylonian night sky (as they saw it then) was fascinating. First of all, (sidebar) she has a marvelous voice and her diction is beautiful. The tour was captivating. The tidbit about the archers and the Seven Sisters particularly stuck with me, although it was all first rate information. I’m still mulling it over 🙂
Excellent tour
Very well presented and interesting tour, I very much enjoyed it
Informative and fun
Just watched the fantastic Marianne North lecture Kathie gave. Wonderful slides and information presented with an obvious enthusiasm for this incredible Victorian world exploring botanical artist. I can’t wait to find the artist’s book.
Interesting, enjoyable and very professionally delivered
It was a lovely surprise to see Stefany returning to virtual touring with World Virtual Tours. There were understandably a few technical issues to sort out at the beginning, but her debut tour was an absolute triumph – interesting, enjoyable and very professionally delivered.
With Christmas on the way, the people of Quito celebrated in style, offering music and dancing as Stefany made her way through the city, telling us about the history of Quito, the people for whom the city was named, and the man who played such an important role when Ecuador became independent.
Stefany also mentioned the geography of Quito, including its latitude, its weather and its potentially dangerous position, considering what surrounds the city. Food is also very important and it was very interesting to see some of the different sweets on display. They look delicious and if the names of the sweets aren’t always appetising in the traditional sense, they are certainly very amusing.
There is a lot of architecture to admire, dating from throughout the centuries. The houses are very elegant and the hotel and palace are truly splendid – though they can’t compete with the magnificent church which ended the tour. It’s important both as part of the history of Quito and Stefany’s own personal history and it really is beautiful.
Stefany’s tour of Quito was excellent and for anyone who enjoyed her Hummingbird tours on Heygo, Stefany will be repeating that tour on World Virtual Tours very soon.
GREAT Passion !
We REALLY enjoyed Stefany’s inaugural Presentation. Her Passion was obvious and SO delightful !
Concise and Thorough WVT with Jacob
Excellent discussion. Great clarity on the history of pyramids, especially Egyptian pre-pyramid history and photos. Thank you Jacob
Picasso museum
Wonderful talk about the artist Picasso and the museum in Barcelona Lots of new info Well prepared Always love the tours of Omid Thanks again Omid Greetings from the Netherlands Nathalie
Olga B., A Energetic and Knowledgeable Guide
I love tours with Olga–she has enough energy to carry slow me right along with her and we get somewhere. I have gotten to see quite a bit of Berlin and Krakow in all kinds of weather. Olga is full of information and history and does quiz questions. Olga also has a passion for Odessa, her home town, and she is helping keep a hopeful candle lit for the city while she waits to go home.
Vanessa is an Excellent Guide
Several times recently I have gone on tours with Vanessa. She is very thorough and clear in her speaking. I have learned more about Peru in her few tours than I ever learned in school or from friends who lived in that area for many years. Peru has become a place I want to read about and learn the history of in order to better understand the incorrect teaching on the history of indigenous people in North America. Thank you Vanessa for your excellent tours.
A Great Storyteller !
I Love Alba’s ability to weave captivating stories around her Tours. Absolutely Captivating and Enjoyable. Thankyou, Alaba !
Patrick is great!
I’ve followed Patrick’s tours for several years now and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. He is friendly, interesting, knowledgeable, natural and fun. I am so upset if I realise I have missed a tour by Patrick and thanks to learning from him I now know a lot about Paris. He talks about the history and culture and knows all of the interesting places to see. Merci PAtrick
Patrizia, Excellent Guide
I really enjoyed the few tours I got to see with Patizia. She has very good camera skills and makes us feel as if we are there. Patrizia has a knack for showing what is inside the shop through the window–especially the bake shops. I love to cook and bake and EAT yummy things so I like to see food on these tours. Patrizia also told interesting things like why there were little doors along the outer walls of the houses that were not doors for living people… Patrizia is a very sofortable person and has a pleasant voice and speaking style. She is an all around excellent tour guide.
