About Tour Guide Emilio O.
I am Emilio, I was born in Madrid a few years ago and I studied Architecture at the ETSAM of the Polytechnic University of Madrid. I have been working for 20 years carrying out very diverse projects. In 2018 I started working as a guide, as a complement of my work as an architect.
I love to travel and I love visiting buildings and cities that I have admired and studied before and I like to be explained by fellow architects from other countries who enrich the experience that makes those hours of exchange together unforgettable. I do it for all those who are interested in architecture by vocation, profession or mere hobby.
