I understand Debbie's concern. I wouldn't necessarily click through if I thought that I was only going to get a 360 tour; I'm rarely impressed with them. She wants a more encompassing term to attract people who may not want just that single option and that makes sense to me.
I'd probably go with "Photos and Videos" or some such. Someone may come up with a cute term but the clear and concise option usually works just fine.

I'll try again.
You wrote: "I was thinking Virtual Tour without the additional text, but we are concerned people will think its only the 360 degree view before they click". Why is that a *concern*? For example, are you concerned that if they won't click through if they think it's only the
360 degree view? That they won't notice the other features available?
