Had a fantastic street art tour around West Dundas neighborhood with Chloe, despite the rain! She's a wonderful and fun tourguide who brings her own knowledge as an artist to the tour. Can recommend 100% for visitors or natives who seek an experience in Toronto off the beaten path, away from crowds. Do it! Also check out "Homebase" graffiti store near Graffiti Alley for another authentic encounter.
So happy you mention that we showcase areas away from the typical Graffiti Alley. It's great but there is so much more and we're proud to be supporting the area, artists and businesses. Our local artist guides have so much insider information. Thanks for supporting a small Canadian company :)
Learned so much. Raja was a great guide super passionate about the scene and an artist himself. Love the recommendations list too!
Our guides being local artists really makes a difference. We love the Little Portugal area and are proud to showcase the art and community projects there! Happy the recs list helped you too!
It was very informative and the guide was excellent. Reja gave excellent information about the artists and what each was depicting and the stories behind them.
Such a fun way to see a different side of Toronto in less visited areas. from hidden sticker art to massive murals and installations. Thanks for joining and we hope the recommendations list came in handy too!
This was such a fun addition to our Labour Day long week-end. The tour really dives into the culture and subculture of street art, covering different styles, techniques and artists. Our guide Chloe, a street artist herself, was really great at navigating through the busy street, surrounding noises and the pace of our group. I also loved the bakery stop long the way and the list of reccomendations came in handy for the rest of our stay. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the city or locals who want to learn more about their open air museum!
Fantastic tour, fantastic team! It was so amazing to learn about the street art scene in our city and I personally appreciated that they cover more than one media style. Cannot wait for them to expand for other areas of the city and will certainly be looking for them when visiting Montreal! Thank you to Danny and his amazing team!
Chloé was a great guide with lots of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. In this charming area of Toronto, the art is represented by the local Portugese, Latin and Indigneous cultures.
I truly enjoyed this tour, thank you to Chloe for the "walk and learn" experience! I feel that after the tour I am a little more knowledgeable about the graffiti scene in the Dundas West area. The tour inspired me to visit Montreal and learn more about the graffiti world there. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Art. Thank you for a great time!
How great! The scene in this part of Toronto is so great and we're happy to share it with guests, locals like you and visitors. It's true that Chloe having spent 10 years in MTL references it a lot... we're happy with our TO artists and LOVE the Little Portugal area. Thanks for sharing it means a lot being the small company we are!
Amazing tour full of education and art. Chloe, the guide, is from Toronto and a member of the street art community. She is very knowledgeable regarding the styles, the artists, the stories behind the works and collaborations. There are representations of legal/commissioned art and non-commissioned art. It was fantastic. I will definitely do it again when in Toronto
This is such a unique way to spend a few hours in a part of the city less visited by tourists. Thanks for hanging with us and we appreciate the feedback, it helps others find us which is BIG for a small company like ours.. :)
Chloe provided a great street art tour showing us interesting pieces. Chloe provided the details on each piece and told us about the artists. With her great knowledge of Toronto and the street art scene in it, we were able to learn and enjoy so much. There is a lot of street art in Toronto but it is really worth your time to do this tour and focus on one area and learn so much more about the art you are seeing.
This is such a cool area worth exploring and we're so happy to bring guests to this less visited hood. Chloe and all guides, being artists, are extremely knowledgeable about the scene and passionate too. Thanks for joining and sharing, it means a lot being the small company we are!
fun tour away from graffiti alley with an impressive collection fo street art and AMAZING guide, very interesting. Thanks
Such a cool art corridor. we're lucky to be able to show it off. Hope you made it to the restaurant on the list you were excited about. You were a pleasure to host :)
