A virtual tour is a simulation that can be viewed on most computers or smartphones. A virtual tour is similar to a video but you can control where to move and where to look. A virtual tour of anything, from London to The Great Wall of China or even places from video-games. There are many advantages of virtual tour such as most virtual tour are either free or at a small cost and the obvious one experiencing things you may never get to in real life. Although there are advantages there can also be disadvantages to virtual tours, such as unless you download the tour you need a internet connection. If your internet connection is not very good there can be lag and something not load properly. Virtual tours can be good or bad but either way there cool to try.
