Hi Scott
Thanks for asking about those two prototype tour layouts again ("Bees" and "Species on the Brink") and thanks for your patience. There's also a third new prototype layout you may have seen, which we used for this tour of a Frank Lloyd Wright house: A tour of the Pope-Leighey House
The aim of all these new tour designs is to show larger photos and provide better caption handling, without overlapping the photos.
These layouts aren't available for use yet. We are working on a new app that would at first incorporate one of these layouts, along with improvements and modifications, such as multiple pics per place, and eventually provide additional layout options. We don't have a release date for that app yet. We also want to overhaul and revamp the Tour building experience, and improve our mobile look and feel.
In the meantime, if you have a tour project where you have a lot of descriptive text one option to look at is using our Story Map Shortlist app (for example see Boston Parks and Rec Design and Construction Projects. And if you also want to have multiple pictures per place, you could look at making a Story Map Journal with one section per place (for example, see Wellington's Treasured Spaces or Game of Thrones Locations in Northern Ireland). Using Map Journal in particular gives you lots of creative options because you can have unlimited text and pics per section, use different maps or layers in different sections, use Story Actions to highlight places on each map (like in Wellington's Treasured Spaces). etc.
