Our Montréal street art and graffiti tour covers local and international artists. The works range from small installations your guide will point out to massive works 10 storeys tall.

We’ll see street styles like wheat pastes and some mains and classics of the borough. This is a zigzag walk through the streets and alleys with a local guide in the know.

Dave was excellent! Great energy / knowledge/ interesting stories to share! My 15 year old also really enjoyed! Great family tour!
Excellent tour! We appreciated everything about our guide Jessie. Her erudition, her curiosity, and her love of street art made this Sunday morning the perfect opportunity to get to know some of Montreal's treasures better.
Just completed the Montreal Mural tour and it was great. The depth of knowledge provided by our guide Jessie was well beyond our expectations. Not only was he knowledgeable of the mural artists but his depth in the world of documentary films and tagging was so interesting. Frankly I did not expect much for this tour but it was probably the top tour we have ever taken. As we have done tours throughout Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico that says a lot. Book this tour, learn about tagging, street art, the mural festival and the Plat neighborhood of Montreal. You will gain new found knowledge and have a great time too.
The mural tour was really engaging. The guide (Mel) was very knowledgeable about the local street art scene and the intersect with the murals. Highly recommend if you like art, design, or just want a unique tour that you can’t do in every other city.
One of tne of the best street arts tours we have had. Small group (7). Gabriella was a fantastic tour guide, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and shared some great local tips too. I would highly recommend this tour.
Gabriella was a thoughtful and friendly guide who provided fascinating insights per mural. She made sure everyone was safe and comfortable at all times. Made me want to return for Montreal’s mural festival.
We walked for two hours exploring different neighbourhoods that had both mural and street art. Our guide Pax explained the artwork and artists.
This was a really fantastic tour! We learned a lot about the murals, and Jesse was super knowledgeable. We also did a second tour with Spade & Palacio with Pascoal and that was also amazing! So consistently high quality all around
Wonderful tour guide. Learned loads about the street art scene. Covered a vast wealth of knowledge regarding the scene. Definitely recommend!
Thank you Jessie for the tour very interesting. We really liked the artists' stories, their work, and the history of the city. Very informative.
