Have you ever wanted to visit a place but haven’t had the time or the money? Maybe you're planning a trip but don’t feel excited enough by the wordy guidebook? Perhaps you did visit, but came away thinking you missed too much?

If you fall into any of these groups then our interactive virtual tours are just the thing for you! Virtual tours give you the closest feeling to actually being there as we think you can get. Each panoramic image is accompanied by informative and interesting text and audio voice-overs which ensure you will nothing. Still images are sometimes also used to enhance the tour. One almost unique feature of our virtual tours is that the scenes are all on an easy to retrace path – this is a huge help if you ever come to visit the location. We’re pretty sure there will be no getting lost with our virtual tours!

Our new website will be extended and developed over the coming months as we strive to make this one of the leading hubs for anyone interested in the history of any of the locations covered by our virtual tours.

As you'd expect from an Edinburgh based company, many of our virtual tours explore some of the history behind Scotland's wonderful Capital city. Our current line-up of Edinburgh virtual tours consist of the Virtual Greyfriars, Old Town of Edinburgh and the Walls of Old Edinburgh virtual tours. Over the next year we will be rolling out a whole host of high quality, interactive tours which will let you explore Edinburgh, York, Chester, Lindisfarne, the Kingdom of Fife, Linlithgow and Stirling.

At Actual Education we only work on places which we are interested in and passionate about. We hope that this come across in our comprehensive virtual tours.
