ONLINE guides who formerly worked with live stream travel platform Heygo have lined up a festive feast of Christmas specials for the launch of their new website this week.

Togethervirtually.com officially opens for business this Friday, December 22, offering a wide range of tours for armchair travellers and featuring some of virtual travel’s most popular guides.

They include the likes of Anna Levina, Lesley Hammam, Stephan van der Meer, New York duo Patrick Wetzel and Aaron Kaburick, Ian Braisby, Paul Stewart, John Wright and many more.

Tours offered on launch day include Christmas Markets in The Hague; the festive illuminations in Milan; the lights in London, and St Stephens Green Park in Dublin.

Over the weekend, guides celebrate Christmas in Perugia, Milan’s Canal and Golden Districts, Amsterdam, and Sydney’s spectacular rock pools, with more trips likely to be added in the coming days.

A range of New Year’s Eve specials are also already on the calendar, some seeing the New Year in as the clock strikes midnight.

Togethervirtually.com has been running live for testing over a number of weeks but launches officially on Friday December 22.
