[Recap] Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Virtual Tour Virtual Meet-up

StephenAbraham · April 16, 2020, 3:56pm

It was just exciting. Today we brought over 70 Local Guides from all around the world to visit Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia virtually, via Street View, Google Maps and Google Hangout meet. It was my first experience hosting a virtual tour, taking close friends on an over 200km roadtrip from their comfort of their own homes, amidst our global pandemic.

Our RSVP Link: https://maps.google.com/localguides/meetup/malaysia-virtual-tour-meetup

We started the first 30 minutes of getting to know each other, which was really fun. Because so many faces that I have not seen for quite some time. It was really amazing seeing everyone again. Everyone was full of smiles, which made the virtual meetup even more amazing.

Then we started our planned virtual tour by presenting my host screen, and using Google Maps and Street View to walk everyone through over 18 main attractions in Kuala Lumpur, as we virtually drove, walked and explored these places together.

The list of all the places we explored is in this Shared List

And places we explored included (in sequence):

Walk with us on this journey by watching our Virtual Tour video (pre and post socializing session not recorded, only the virtual tour)
*If you find the video is out of sync, YouTube may still be processing the video. Check back the video the next day if it’s out of sync.

We hope other Local Guides in other countries can also host virtual tours like this, so all of us can participate and visit all countries virtually. If anyone needs help setting up and making this work, feel free to contact me via private message.

Thanks for joining us everyone. Comments and photos of your previous visit to Kuala Lumpur most welcomed below.
