I have heard both 訪問する and 見学する both being used to mean 'to visit'

What is the difference between these two verbs?

訪問する vs 見学する in meaning 'to visit'
訪問する is "to visit", but 見学する is not "to visit" in the first place. 見学 means
studying how something works by directly watching an activity conducted by
other people.

In the context of a factory tour or similar activity, (工場)訪問 and (工場)見学 are
effectively the same. However, you can do 訪問 without doing 見学. For example,
when you visit someone's office simply for a meeting or explanation, it is
never called 見学. Likewise, you can do 見学 without doing 訪問. For example, when
you're not feeling well and are sitting out a PE (gym) class, you say
体育の授業は見学します.
