Try item.click(). The items are actually the Selenium link objects. So telling Selenium to click on them is all you need to go to the desired page. You can do selective clicking by checking the link text, and if you find what you're looking for, do item.click(). So let's say there was a link with the word 'Tutorial' in it on the page...

for item in page_results:
    if 'Tutorial' in item.text:
        item.click()
        break

I am tried but not work, maybe this happen due to the item value not the url but page title, tried with if 'Tutorial' in item.text:item.get_attribute('href').click(), Error occured object has no attribute 'click' , Please advice, thanks

You got that error because item.get_attribute('href') returns a string, not a Selenium object. If you have the item, just use item.click(). For more assistance, you'll need to include tracebacks and actual error text.
