This was an amazing tour! Our guide, Marie, was so knowledgeable and fun, and had so many different things she was able to show us and explain. I really felt like I was seeing an authentic part of Paris, not the tourist part. She went the extra mile to provide us insight into different graffiti art movements and its history, and show us different types of art. I just loved it and can't say enough good things about it. It was by far one of the biggest highlights of my trip. I would definitely take it again.
My tour guide was really insightful and gave a lengthy tour that made me more interested in art and see more about the creativity behind street art.
Amazing! Students loved it! Super I formative and fun.
This was such an amazing experience, our guide. Marie was knowledgeable and passionate about the art. She was showing us and was able to give us a really comprehensive history of famous Parisian artists and also contemporary artists. We ended up at the top of Monte Mart and it was amazing. I saw parts of Paris. I probably never would’ve found on my ownand was able to get context for what I was seeing.
Stephen did a great job to make the street art of Paris come alive. It was fun, informative and I would totally do the walk again. Not to be missed!
In the 2 hours, we learned so many little things that from then on we experienced rediscovery throughout the entire city. Informative, entertaining, and affectionate. Definitely recommended.
This was the best street art walking tour I've ever taken! Our guide, Stephan, was extremely knowledgeable about the art and artists who created them. He was funny and kept a great pace through Montmartre. I'd highly recommend this tour if you love Street art!
