A factory tour is an organized visit to a factory to observe the products being manufactured and the processes at work. Manufacturing companies offer factory tours to improve public relations.

Breweries and distilleries, together with manufacturers of clothes, pottery and glass, are amongst the most popular factory visits. The popularity of factory tours has declined,[when?] as factories no longer represent the cutting edge of technology.[1]

Some countries have set up industrial-related museums where tours to see their processing is part of the museum attractions, such as the BRAND'S Health Museum, Taiwan Metal Creation Museum, Taiwan Mochi Museum and Taiyen Tongxiao Tourism Factory in Taiwan.
