Our tour guide, Jennifer, was extremely knowledgeable about the graffiti artists and their art, giving us an amazing overview of social, political, and historical perspectives of the work. Without this insight, many of the nuances would have been missed. I highly recommend this experience for anyone interested in learning more about the graffiti culture!

It was a very informative and enjoyable walk with our tour guide Jackie. She was very knowledgeable about the history, the graffiti in Toronto, as well as all the famous graffiti artist and all the history of it. I know we learned a lot today. Well worth doing!

It was interesting to learn about the street art culture in Toronto and see the different styles artists and community members bring to the neighborhood. I wish there was time to see more! Jackie was knowledgeable about the designs and artists and the role it has played in the neighborhood.

We are so glad you enjoyed exploring Toronto’s street art with Jackie. There is always more to see, and not just graffiti. Our tours cover everything from history to food to hidden gems across the city, so we hope you will join us again for another walk.

We had a very knowledgeable approachable guide who spent so much time with us - over the advertised time without any sign of frustration.

Ya we loved it. Took our kids 10 and 13. We learned a lot about how graffiti has evolved into art. Ulysses was a great guide. You really should see graffiti alley with a guide. He explained the political artwork too.

Good info on the history of the artists and tagging/throws. Look for the Uber birds! 🕵🏼♀️. Walk returns you to starting point which is nice.

Our tour guide Robert was very informative on the history of the alley and the various artists ..
I would highly recommend taking a tour rather than visiting on your own.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We agree - a tour adds a layer of info you'd not have otherwise. The street artists don't really leave much but their artwork to discover but there's a whole subculture which is just as interesting as the art, I think.

We had a great time appreciating the graffiti and learning all about the graffiti culture from our knowledgeable tour guide. It was a great day!

Great tour. Really enjoyed hearing the stories connected to the murals and graffiti. The graffiti and murals were incredible. Our guide was also very approachable and pleasant.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
I'm so glad you liked the tour and the time spent with your guide. We hope you'll join us for another one someday! The art in the alleys is always changing so I promise there will be something new the next time you visit.
