I use a java plugin version that works cross-platform and a special lens for capturing more for the panoramas. How extensive is the virtual tour? Unless you get a fisheye lens, I'd expect the project to take quite a bit of time. Photographing with a fisheye i can do a 360 + top and bottom in 8 shots. Without, it's more like 30+ shots. Then, the more shots you have drastically increases stitching time. Also you need to make sure you purchase the proper equipment to eliminate parallax. This is a combination of a special camera mount, plus the calibration of said mount. Parallax occurs when you don't rotate the camera around its "nodal point". This is noticeable if you close one eye and turn your head. If you can see something that you couldn't see before, thats parallax. This causes major stitching problems and can get VERY annoying. Let me know if you need more details...I do this at work and it is harder than i thought! I just recently did a set of panoramas for the VISI.com data center.
