Yorescape™ takes you on virtual tours of historical sites around the globe, making it easy to:
• Take the trip from the comfort of your home or school
• Travel alone or in the company of others – friends, family members, or students – located anywhere in the world
• Listen to audio commentary by leading experts explaining what you see at the points of interest
• Turn on Closed Captions for translations into Chinese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish

Yorescape launches with nine virtual tours taking you to these historic places:
• Ancient Athens
• Baalbek in Lebanon
• Hadrian’s Villa at Tivoli
• Red Chapel of Hatshepsut in Egypt
• Ancient and modern Rome
• Tenochtitlan beneath modern Mexico City
• The Tomb of Ramesses VI in Egypt

See the sites as they exist today or turn back the clock to see how they looked in their heyday, hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Using the Group Tour feature you can:
• Share your experience with others
• Communicate via chat, voice, or a virtual pointer

Freely roam around the sites we have reconstructed in 3D to get a sense of their scale and grandeur. Yorescape includes the following roamable sites:
• The Roman Forum (Rome, Italy)
• The Red Chapel of Hatshepsut (Karnak, Egypt)
• The Tomb of Ramesses VI (Luxor, Egypt)

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic learning tool! You can visit several ancient locations that have been brought back to life in the most accurate reconstructions we have. There are a couple of 3d free roam locations, too, including the Roman Forum. If you enjoy ancient history and seeing what it would've looked like, I can't recommend this enough. It's all free too!

Just downloaded - Smithsonian recommendation. So far it seems really great! Started a tour and the area is reconstructed so you can see it at its best. An expert guides the tour and the commentary is interesting and not too long at each site. That's all for now, but it seems very worth checking out!

I was worried this app would be a small collection of maybe 20 minute rushed tours. To my surprise they are full length, 3-4 hour long tours guided by professionals in the field. I know this app may be new but I have high hopes for it and would enjoy seeing sites in Asia, South America and walkthroughs of art museums.
