Based on the teachers’ beliefs about the use of virtual tours, the following recommendations are offered as a result of this study: First, in-service training on virtual tour should be provided to teachers by Turkish Ministry of National Education (MoNE) and second, contents related to the virtual tour should be prepared by MoNE considering the outcomes of the curriculum.
