Driving tour basics
A driving tour shows a city from the road. Public descriptions of the Virtual Vacation site list driving tours for 100+ cities and a road trip mode, though features can change.
Pick your route
Choose scenery you love: coastlines, downtown skylines or quiet suburbs. Pairing two cities gives your trip a start and an end.
Add music and snacks
Create a playlist for the region and add road-trip snacks. Sound makes a big difference to the mood.
Use the right screen
A TV or large monitor gives a windscreen feel. Sit back, relax and avoid clicking too much.
Learn as you go
Spot road signs, lane rules and vehicle types. Compare driving styles between countries.
Combine with other tours
Follow a drive with a walking tour of an area you liked or a flying tour for the big picture.
