A virtual tour is a digital experience that lets users explore a location as if they were there, using 360-degree images, 3D models, or interactive videos. In real estate, virtual tours simulate an in-person walkthrough, letting buyers navigate properties at their own pace with clickable hotspots and immersive visuals. The term “virtual trip” is sometimes used interchangeably, but it’s broader, referring to exploring any location—be it a home, a museum, or a tourist destination—without physical presence.
