Offbeat Street Art Tour of Chicago: graffiti urbani, arte e murales

A day before the tour, we received an automated booking reminder via email. So the four of us took a ride over from the Loop just for this tour, only to discover that the guide was not present. Called the number listed on their website before getting there as well as while we were there, and nobody picked up. So there’s no direct way of getting a refund either. So please be aware that you might be spending your money for no reason and with no other way to get it back other than disputing the charge with your bank/credit card company if you book a tour with this unprofessional and unethical tour operator.

What a JOKE! Never one ever showed up for the tour. Tried calling. Tried texting! Spent $80+ to Uber both ways only to be stood up! I get things happen BUT instead of just not showing up, you should have just cancel the tour!!! I was so looking forward to this!!!

Came down to Chicago from Milwaukee on the 22nd,2026. Arrived at the meeting place at (early) 12:30; the tour was to be at 1 pm. I waited until 1:20; the gal at the coffee house meeting place (at G&G in Wicker Park) said the Tour guide didn't show up the day before either!!!! I have called the posted phone number 4 times in 3 days and have not heard anything from them!!

Brian gave an excellent tour of the varied street art in the area from Bucktown north toward Logan Square. I especially enjoyed his insights on the different artistic and social movements that have shaped contemporary street art practice.

I brought a group of 33 senior citizens on a motor coach and Brian met us at 417 North Ashland Ave. He took us on a 2 hour narrated walking/bus tour that highlighted many large painted murals. His personal knowledge of the artists and their work was impressive and his passion was apparent. As a result we now have a greater understanding and appreciation for the street art in Chicago.

It was an outstanding experience. The tour was highly insightful, and Brian’s knowledge, thoroughness, and passion for the subject made it truly engaging. I gained a deeper appreciation for Chicago’s vibrant street art scene and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for anyone interested in art and urban culture.

We covered a lot of ground and saw some fantastic art. I loved exploring a few neighborhoods that I have never visited in the Chicago area. Our guide was soft-spoken but very knowledgeable and flexible with our pace and interests!

this was my 3rd street art tour (also have done new orleans & montreal) and this one included the most insights into US and Chicago history that led to street art, as well as great info and insights into modern works and the current cultural nuances. i whole-heartedly recommend this walking street art tour

Our group of seven lucked out with a private tour with Brian. It was outstanding! Everyone learned a ton about street art, murals, and graffiti. Gorgeous pieces, great detail, Brian clearly loves his job!

We enjoy street art. This gave us an opportunity to see some pieces we might not have seen otherwise. Our guide was great!
