You seem to like hypotheticals, Dawkins has one in The God Delusion. Roughly it goes like this, he looks out his window one afternoon and sees a huge dinosaur going by. It's huge and he recognizes the species. Maybe the color surprises him though. He rushes out after and follows it a block or two but loses it.
But real as this experience was, sight, sound, the shaking of the house, perhaps even smell, there is no trace left of the the dinosaur. There are no foot prints. No windows were broken by the concussion of those heavy steps. It left neither scales nor feathers. It didn't leave dino poop. It didn't crush a dog in it's jaws and leave a mangled corpse behind. It didn't break upper tree limbs. And no one else in the neighborhood saw it.
Conclusion: Dawkins didn't see a dinosaur.

If such a tour did take place, would you be willing to acknowledge and submit to Him as God?
See above dinosaur experience. Not to mention ghost sightings, big foot, and premonitions.
However, give me some physical evidence on that three hour tour, or a way to replicate it and then we're cooking with gas.
The police come to my office and tell me that my wife has just been arrested for shooting 13 people in our neighborhood.
"This is impossible", I say. "I've been married to her for more than 26 years, and this sort of thing is not in her."
I know my wife, and I have evidence about her character that the police do not have. When you know God, you have evidence that those who do not know Him do not have.
Fact #6: Jenny, the inveterate atheist, believed she toured heaven and was suddenly and dramatically converted.
