The tour was fantastic thanks to Vali our guide who offered us very good explanations, and is very friendly. Thank you very much Vali, a highly recommended tour
Vali knows A LOT and the tour is a great way to make you realize that you reed do need to look at the buildings around you more carefully (the "Privește cerul" graffiti that filled Bucharest a few years back being the perfect illustration of that). It was fun, interesting and I didn't just find out where the first street art piece is in Bucharest is, but I also walked with intent and filled my phone with beautiful art images. It made my day!
I took the Alternative Bucharest Street Art tour in May 2024 and it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Vali is an enthusiastic, passionate advocate of the arts in the city and is very knowledgeable about the scene and different artists working today. If you're in Bucharest, this tour is a must-do!
Vali is amazing, full of knowledge and passion for the local street art scene. It makes all the difference when the guide is so excited and well-versed in the content of their tour. The tour was long and included demonstrations of various types of street art. I was particularly impressed by the in-depth explanation of the criticism towards graffiti and the political discourse it expresses. Additionally, Vali is also a social activist promoting his great initiative, so you should definitely support his work!
The visit was canceled without my notice! I'm still waiting for my refund! Not to mention the time lost and the metro tickets.
The Street Art tour with Vali was an amazing experience. He is very knowledgeable, passionate about the topic and eager to show those gems of street art. I recommend this experience both to foreigners and locals.
Fantastic tour, not only artistic but historical with a modern perspective. Thank you for guided me into Bucarest’s culture, art and believes ✨
Very good choice how to spend time in Bucharest if u want to explore local art and architecture. Vali is a great storyteller who loves his job.
Great way to discover hidden and beautiful details of the city. And the guide knows how to do it. I fully recomand.
My favourite part of this experience was that the guide organised contests (to give answers to his questions or find hidden street art) and people on the tour won small prizes. I recommend wearing sunscreen, hats and staying hydrated if you walk on a hot spring / summer day in Bucharest.
