A virtual tour is far from the real thing but that does not mean it can’t be enjoyable. Some licensed tour guides in Malaysia have been giving virtual tours of well-loved destinations around the country, and they are worth checking out.

On Explore Malaysia Virtually (https://exploremalaysiavirtually.com/), visitors can join live virtual excursions with real tour guides, or choose to watch recorded segments.
