About us
Following the establishment of Architectural Tours Vienna and 14 years of membership in the Guiding Architects network, Cityscape draws on a great deal of experience and competence in conveying the essence of architecture.
Our team consists of experts with a range of different educational backgrounds and professional experience in the field of architecture and a wide range of content focus. What they all have in common is a high level of professionalism paired with the pleasure of coming into contact with people who are interested in architecture - regardless of whether they come from professional circles or from areas that have little or nothing to do with architecture and urban planning.
