Guided Architecture Tour in Copenhagen

We wanted to thank you again for the inspiring and fun tour you had organised for us in Copenhagen! We really enjoyed walking around, getting to learn about the city and it’s culture!

We could not have hoped for a better stay in Copenhagen and would really enjoy it if you could join one of our crit through Zoom.

Thank you again

Budapest Architecture Tour Reference, 2022

Hej Isabelle,

As an engineering company within the construction industry it is important for us to seek inspiration in innovative structures, contemporary as well as ancient. The well-being and feeling of community amongst our employees are also very important issues, and these are the reasons, we visit major European cities.

e-architect has helped us with the architectural and technical sightseeing on four trips to Rome, Barcelona, Paris and Budapest. Being professionals ourselves we are quite picky when it comes to the skills of our guides, but e-architect has delivered and exceeded our expectations every time.

The guides have all been knowledgeable, passionate and eloquent. With e-architect we feel confident about the quality and it is so much easier for us than trying to establish our own connections in foreign cities.

Med venlig hilsen
Kasper Rønslev Nielsen

Liverpool Architecture Tour Reference, 2022

Hi Isabelle,

As a group of fire safety engineers working in the built environment, the level of information on the buildings’ architecture was pitched just right for us to take away new knowledge and understanding from an architect’s perspective, but light enough to be an enjoyable and sociable morning for our team event.

Many thanks again for accommodating us.

Oxford Architecture Tour Reference, 2022
from Maria, School of Architecture + Cities, University of Westminster, London, 12 February 2022

Hi Isabelle,

We all much enjoyed the tour and the guide Kirill was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable including in architectural theory and showed us a wide range of fantastic architectural masterpieces.

The booking experience was convenient, responsive and tailor-made.

Thanks again.

Manchester Architecture Tour – Reference
from Susanna Conte, Comunicare l’architettura, 10 Dec 2019
ref Manchester Architecture Walking Tour

Since my children are adults and one daughter is architect, when we travel as a family, we always try to organize a guided tour of the architecture of the cities.

We went to Manchester for a sporting event and we spent one full day visiting. Our guide, a young architect graduated from Cambridge, showed us with great passion the conversion of old cotton factories and the new creative vocation of the city.

We have learned that today Manchester is a cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic city, with a strong commercial and tourist bent. The mix of ancient and modern makes Manchester welcoming, also thanks to the redevelopment of previously cramped areas such as the old workers’ quarters.

The tour guide was able to interest the whole group, declaiming passages from the Capital of Marx and capturing the attention even of non-architects.

Oxford Architecture Tour – Reference
from Helen Bromfield, Quattro Design, 8 Apr 2019
ref Oxford Architecture Walking Tour

I just wanted to drop you a line to say many thanks for the architecture walking tour of Oxford on Friday and providing us with two interesting, knowledgeable and friendly guides.

We all enjoyed the tour and it was great to be shown parts of Oxford that we normally wouldn’t have access to. Also the background to the buildings’ design and their context was explained which made Oxford’s post-war development more interesting and relevant to our designers.

Hope to use e-architect again in the future for architecture tours, many thanks again.

Copenhagen Architecture Tour – Reference
from Matt Golds, Hunters South Architects, 5 June 2017

Hi Isabelle,

Just a quick email to let you know that we had a great time in Copenhagen and our tour was unanimously voted the highlight of the trip. Our guide managed to successfully navigate 18 of us around the city on bikes whilst giving us a great flavour of some of the amazing architecture, I can only applaud her for that!!

I am already starting to plan a trip for next year and will definitely be in touch once we have decided on a destination. Thanks for all of your help setting it up.

from Sara Simpson, maber, 22 May 2017
I would just like to say that we very much enjoyed having the opportunity to meet with yourself and your colleagues John and Katie for our tour of London. Maber would like to thank you for taking the time to show us around the capital and answer any questions we may have had. Our employees commented on how they enjoyed the tours given and found them to be insightful and interesting.

The visit to London will have given our employees a fresh insight into the capitals ever changing architectural structures that are currently and also have been, recently built.

We had a great time in Paris and the tour on Friday afternoon was very enjoyable. Fortunately the weather held for us which was a great relief!

Many thanks for arranging.

This client booked a tour with us in Edinburgh in 2012 and enjoyed the service, hence this latest booking.
We would like to say thank you very much for a very fine study tour in Budapest. We all think that you have done a great job with your very professional attitude. You were very fast to understand and feel our “wishes and speed” and you did it in a very flexible way just as we liked. And you a have a big knowledge concerning the planning and architecture in Budapest, so it was very useful for us.

So a very well organized study tour and also because you have sent a lot of useful suggestions and information in advance, so we could make a perfect program.
And of course it was also interesting to discuss the way of living and traditions in Hungary, and there you have a big knowledge about the society too.
Budapest is a very nice city and we were all very impressed of the city and the architectural quality in both the old quarters and the new buildings and squares etc. and we think that we can use something as an inspiration in our city.

The guide “met us at the hotel at the time we agreed with the minibus as requested. She gave us a very interesting tour of different sights and projects. She had good knowledge of the projects and the city in general, and gave us extensive and interesting information.

She has a very pleasant personality and she joined us for lunch and a drink after the tour. She also offered that we could call her anytime if we had any other questions. I have nothing negative to say, and can recommend her to anyone.”
