A Staycay Tour is a great way to see far off cities without having to leave home! If you don't have the time to travel, or don't have the money to travel, or (ugh) if a pandemic is preventing you from traveling, taking a staycation with a Staycay Tour can be the next best thing to actually being there.
We've taken the time to review and hand-pick a collection of videos and other media for you to see to give you a vacation experience -- but staycation style -- from your own couch or comfy chair. You'll see the view as you arrive into your destination (great sights out of the window of your plane), you'll get the (video) experience of walking around the city, checking out the tourist sites, even eating the local food! And we know part of the fun of vacations is checking out your VRBO or hotel or B&B, so we even include on our tours a tour stop to check out your beautiful place to "stay" while you're taking your online staycation tour. We really want to recreate as much of the vacation experience as possible for you.
We think the best Staycay Tours are when you really do it up by wearing clothes appropriate for your destination, making local food and drink to enjoy while you're watching your tour, maybe even surround yourself with things you'd normally take while traveling (sunscreen, maps, travel journal, phrase book, sketchbook, camera, etc.). We have more tips on our How to Staycay page you may want to check out.
More than anything, whatever the reason you want an online escape to a far-off place, we want to be give you a fun one! And we hope you'll tell us about your experience afterward! Enjoy your Staycay Tour!
What destinations would you like to see? We’d like to add tours for the places you want to visit! Just click on the “Contact” link at the top of the page to send us a note about destinations you’d like to see added (we’d love to hear from you!).
As to when they’ll be added, the answer there is: as soon as we’re able to. We appreciate your patience with us -- we’re a couple of travel-loving guys who are bringing these tours to you in our spare time, but we’re eager to help travelers like you enjoy a new Staycay Tours getaway as often as we can.
We also encourage you to provide your e-mail address in the field you can find at the bottom of every Staycay Tours page so we can keep you in-the-know as new destinations are added!
Nope! Staycay Tours are free to enjoy!
In short: we don’t. Right now, we’re just two guys creating something fun for people to enjoy. We love creating things together, and this is something we both really liked the idea of doing.
If it turns out lots of other people show they enjoy the idea as much as we do by taking our Staycay Tours, then, we may add some features down the road that could help provide financial support for the work we’re putting into it. But today, it’s just for fun! (And these days more than others, we need more fun in the world!)
It’s as easy as 1-2-3.
But it doesn’t stop there -- there are great ways to really do up your staycation in a big way, and you can find more about them by visiting the page linked here.
Gosh, there are a bunch of reasons, and they pretty much all start with wanting to see more of the world.
But many people can’t afford to travel to those great destinations. Or maybe they can’t take the time to do it. Or due to things like, ya know, global pandemics, a person can’t travel or chooses not to travel for safety’s sake.
Staycay Tours is here to fill that gap. Sure, you could just go to one of the many video sites on the web and search for videos on the city you want to see, but there are so many videos out there! We’ve taken the time to not just curate some really good quality videos for you, but to also get them in an order that helps to re-create a feeling of being on a vacation in the place as if you were actually there.
Definitely! In the bottom right-hand corner of each page is a field you can use to sign up to get updates from us.
It’s just two friends who really like creating things together. This was one of those ideas that we both liked, and we also really liked the idea of giving people a way to escape to fun places at a time when travel can be anywhere from difficult to impossible for so many people. We hope this little bit of fun can bring some staycation brightness to a travel-lover’s day.
