The results demonstrate the technology supported physical visit provides significantly improved learning outcomes, increases students curiosity and their willingness to communicate and share their enlightening experiences with other students, their eagerness on the use of new technologies and their endowment with acquiring knowledge through having fun and experiencing. Furthermore the findings of the study demonstrate that the application of the specific emerging technologies could facilitate the development of advanced learning experiences in the framework of virtual visits, increasing at a significant level the learning outcomes and the motivation of the participating students.
