Right from the get go this company were great to deal with. We had changes that needed to be made and they did them for us. The tour was really awesome. A great introduction into the street art culture. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Definitely worth the money spent. Beware: got quote thru trip advisor which was good NZD but when I came to billing it was in USD. Contacted Melbourne Street Art Tours & they matched my initial price.
Thanks for all the details and showing us places where we would never come!
We had an amazing time on our walking tour with Matt. We came in knowing very little about street art in general and about the scene in Melbourne. It was such a cool experience to about it from someone who is involved in creating the art! I would highly recommend it for anyone.
The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Matt, was very passionate and knowledgeable about the art and artists that present their work. It was a wonderful experience and worth the time spent to learn about the art.
Excellent tour of Melbourne street art, seeing the art through a different lens. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend tour, good for families too.
This is a wonderful tour, especially if you're into street art! The guides are artists themselves and ours was so knowledgeable and friendly. Pick up location was easy to find and on time. I really enjoyed all of the beautiful art and hearing about the artists and stories behind the history of street art in Melbourne. I was obsessed with the little picture framed art on Collins St but the art ranged from small toys/figures on walls to tags to traditional street art to huge murals - all of them so interesting! The tour ended with a tour of the actual art studio for the artists, with drinks and nibbles which was such a lovely touch. I enjoyed every minute of this tour and would highly recommend!
David was a phenomenal tour guide! Very cool way to see the city and learn about graffiti/street art. 10/10 would recommend, only wished we did this earlier in our trip.
Ben, as a local artist shared his thoughts on many of the murals and installations we saw He even knew the artist of several pieces. Fantastic tour, just the right amount of walking. I’m so glad I decided to do this tour!
'Just right', just what we want to hear. Thanks, Linda! We're glad you enjoyed your time with us.
Fantastic, informative walk with Louis a very accomplished street artist. I now understand street art in a different way. A visit to his studio and meeting other artists at their Bender Street premises was the icing on top of a very pleasant afternoon.
It's fantastic to hear our tours gave you a fresh perspective on street art. We'll pass the kudos onto Louis. Thank you -- we hope to see you back for another adventure sometime!
It was a fantastic walk around Melbourne laneways seeing some great street art. The guide was very informative with great knowledge of the history and styles on display also enjoyed the visit to their studio at the end
Thanks Colin, We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring the streets with us!
