Higher education faces challenges in enhancing students' learning experiences and increasing their understanding and retention of information. Virtual tours with 3D modeling are presented as an innovative tool to address these challenges. The aim of this article is to examine the role of virtual tours with 3D modeling in higher education, highlighting their advantages, challenges, and key aspects for effective implementation. To implement virtual tours with 3D modeling effectively, several key aspects need to be considered. Firstly, navigation should be smooth and user-friendly to allow students to explore and learn effectively. Secondly, relevant information should be integrated effectively into the virtual tour so that students can access the information they need. Finally, interactivity is crucial for the success of a virtual tour as it enables students to interact with the environment and learn actively. Virtual tours with 3D modeling can be a valuable tool to enhance education and student learning in higher education. However, it is important to consider the challenges and key aspects for their effective implementation. By addressing these challenges and considering the key aspects, educational institutions can create virtual tours that improve education and student learning
