Great tour! Our guide Gary was superinformative about artists, techniques, and the history of Spitalfields.
Our guide was fabulous. Even in the heat wave we had such an amazing time listening to his in-depth knowledge of the artists and the city. It was so much fun and would highly recommend it.
Learning about this London neighborhood is fascinating, an important cultural experience, and alternative way to think about art.
Laura was a wonderful guide--with her experience in street art herself, she gave a great talk/walk pointing out works of art as well as techniques (to 'tag' and to 'dab'!) that we normally would not be able to see. Will recommend for all friends!
This was an awesome experience that I cannot recommend highly enough! We did the tour and workshop with Gary. He was a fantastic guide, full of information and perspective that was both enlightening and thought provoking. He made an effort to connect with his guests one on one. He shared specific details about graffiti and street art that broadened our horizons. Doing the workshop was an absolute bonus and we love what we got to take home! *You do not need to be creative or an artist to make something great! Gary showed us how and we are better for it. You will not regret adding on the workshop. Don't hesitate to choose this experience during your London visit!!
An absolutely fabulous tour. Laura, our guide, is a street artist herself knows the community as well as anyone. She was fun, informative, and knowledgeable. She was humorous,patient with our questions and full of. Useful information. I learned more about street art and street artist than I thought was possible in a two hour tour.
This was a fabulous tour! Gabby (?) covered a variety of street art media, told the history of the art form both worldwide and in London, and discussed the culture.
This was a great way to tour a part of London i’ve not explored much before as well as giving a view and history of the street art in the area our guide was great including the history of the area and how the communities in the area developed through history.
Very enjoyable. Recommend it highly. Good tour guide......near Spitlefield Market.....,.............
It was very interesting and more fun to explore the street art in a group than alone. The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
