# Tours

> Build view-only collections of selected photos from a single property and share them with a chosen audience.

## Overview

A Tour is a view-only collection of photos from a single property. Tours make it easier to organize, present, and share selected property content in a clear and controlled way.

## Why use Tours

Tours help you present property content in a more structured and interactive way. They make it easier to share selected photos with the right audience, whether you are presenting a property, documenting progress, or sharing visual information with clients, teams, or stakeholders. Tours give you control over how content is shared, who can view it, and who can manage it.

## Key concepts

* **Property-specific.** A Tour belongs to one property only and can only include photos from that property.
* **View-only.** Tours organize selected photos for viewing.
* **Selected content.** Tours are created by selecting hotspots first, then selecting which photos appear under each hotspot.
* **Visibility-controlled.** The visibility setting controls who can view the Tour. See [Visibility settings](/reference/visibility) for the full list.
* **Visibility is locked after creation.** Visibility cannot be changed after the Tour is created.
* **Managed access.** The Managed by setting controls who can manage the Tour.
