Architecture Walks - How does it Work?Introductione-architect has been operating Architecture Walking Tours since 2001.  photo © Craig Sheppard Adrian Welch and Isabelle Lomholt - directors of e-architect - both trained as architects. We realised some cities only had architecture tour guides that focused on the historical buildings. Over the years we've discovered thousands of people who wished to tour key contemporary buildings, within the historic context. e-architect operate both architecture walking tours and architectural bus tours. Our walking tour guides all have an architectural background and many of them are also architects. Each city has a standard architectural walking tour framework but many of our Clients request tailored programmes. Please try to evaluate the amount of time you need for your tour and any transport preferences you may have. We are more than happy to accommodate your needs and interests for your architectural tour. City Architectural Tours - Recent Cities AddedArchitectural Walks, alphabetical:

We have numerous positive referrals for walking tours in a range of cities, please contact Isabelle for details. Typically tours are for groups of architects from a specific design studio or from a specific architectural association or institution. We have arranged architecture walking tours for individuals and couples but please note our prices are not per person. Our architecture tour guides are paid by the hour so the more people on the tour the lower the individual price if paying jointly (most tours are paid by the office, association or institution).
