Our guide Josh was knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about street art and saw many examples of the different forms. The ages of those joining ranged from about 8 to 65 years old and everyone really enjoyed it. East London was great to walk around - vibrant and lively. I highly recommend the tour!

We enjoyed seeing so many unexpected examples of street art which were expertly narrated by our guide. The tour included two Banksy's - world class exhibits leaving a permanent memory. Thank you so much for a splendid afternoon.

Gary was such a great guide and we learned so much about all those amazing artists and their artwork. It was worth each Pound of the ticket price.

Ava was a great tour guide - she provided lots of historical context that helped when taking in all the street art. She's very knowledgeable about the artwork as well, and clearly passionate about it too. Thanks for the fun introduction to a part of London I don't know well.

This was a great tour. Our guide (Josh) was really informed and passionate about street art. It really opened my eyes to the art and artists that are working all around us. Would definitely recommend!

The walking tour was a great introduction to the graffiti and street art thriving in the East End. Tour guide brought the area to life and introduced us to many UK and international artists. She is an artist and was enthusiastic about other artists work and the different methods they use. She encouraged us to notice the stickers on the poles, art in the ground, on walls and to look up high. Without the guide we would have missed so many of the small pieces and the way in which the artists communicate through their works. Would strongly recommend this 2 hr tour for Londoners and tourists alike.

The your was a great cross section of the various types of street art. The guide Josh was very knowledgeable. It was truly an enjoyable experience, and I learned so much about the art!

The London Street Art tour focuses on Graffiti and non-commissioned street art. It uncovers a rich tapestry of such art in East London - truly astounding - and gives information about the artists and the genre in general. All that made it very enjoyable. The downside is that the guide, Kevin, does a wee bit much social commentary. His comments about the tension between street artists and the law were fine, but after seeing how much street art existed, they started to be suspect, and regardless of where my sympathies might lie, I would prefer to simply be presented with facts and left to draw my own conclusions.
