American Walking Tours

American Architectural Tours can focus on contemporary or traditional buildings in the United States or both.

We can provide information on geographical areas and building types ahead of your US walking tour, for example a group of architects interested in innovative American office buildings could be provided with specific information allowing a tailored tour programme to be agreed prior to their visit to the United States of America.
