Thank you for looking after us and showing us some amazing art as well as a little history of the area. We booked this for my birthday and had an age group from 11 to 70. Everyone enjoys the walk and not even the rain dampened the experience. Thank you very much

Fantastic! Our guide Emily was entertaining, informative and engaging.

I had an amazing time on this tour. Starting off with a brief introduction and history lesson on Shoreditch. Along the way we learned about all different types of street art from brass sculptures to foam mushrooms to stencils. I'd highly recommend doing this tour for anyone who has even the slightest interest in street art. I wish I had of continued on and taken part in the stencil workshop!

This was an amazing tour of the behind the scenes street art. My tour guide Kira was perfect. Very knowledgeable and very easy to listen to. It was easy to see he had a passion for the art industry. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for something a little different
