Extract text from TSP and CodeTour files (TOUR)
To convert TOUR files to another format, you need LKH Solver or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Algorithm Solution Data" file type, you need software like LKH Solver or a similar tool.
The .TOUR file extension represents several completely different file types. Most commonly, it is a Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) solution file formatted according to the TSPLIB standard and used by heuristic solvers like LKH. Alternatively, it can be a game camera path data file used by the video game Subnautica, or a Codebase guided tour file used by the CodeTour extension in Visual Studio Code.
Because these files serve highly niche purposes, they share major disadvantages. They are strictly tied to specific software environments. A Subnautica camera path is proprietary binary data that cannot be opened without the game engine. A VS Code tour is structured in JSON, but relies on the exact directory structure of the original codebase to function. If you need to read or share this data outside of these tools, you face strict limits. Standard online converters fail to process .TOUR files because they lack universal standards and generic engines cannot differentiate between the game, developer, or mathematical variants.
To bypass these limits, you can convert the TSP and CodeTour variants to TXT, JSON, or CSV. This allows you to extract raw coordinate data or text instructions, though you will permanently lose all interactive playback features and syntax highlighting.
These files are notoriously difficult to convert because only the original software can properly read or export the structured data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying text or embedded JSON format, viewing or extraction is usually possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TOUR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted GED, TTP and DAD files.
If you want to convert TOUR file to , you can use LKH Solver or similar software from the "TSP Solution & Camera Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to TOUR, try LKH Solver or another comparable tool in the "TSP Solution & Camera Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our TOUR converter.
