The tour by Street Art London and specifically Karim was Excellent! The tour was lead in a no fluff, gritty, educated manner that was representative of the street and graffiti art that was on display. The tour showed a tremendous amount of work by numerous artists and the detail behind the works and culture that make up East London. I... More

Great, detailed, info-packed tour. Our guide, Karim, was knowledgeable, easy to understand, brought out great questions from an intensely interested group. Discussions about codes of different artists, the continuum from selling out to vandalism, aesthetics of art, materials used, you name it. We consider ourselves somewhat knowledgeable about street art generally (LA, Rome, see www.romethesecondtime.com), but this was an eye... More

Get off the regular tourist route and go on this street art tour. We were able to arrange a private tour for our 10 person group. Our tour guide is a bit of a street artist himself. He was incredibly knowledgable and was willing to change the tour based on our interests. None of us knew enough to have a... More

We went on a Street Art waking tour with Ben on December 21st (the end of the world!). Anyway, it was an absolutely fabulous way to take in this aspect of London that you probably Never noticed before. After the tour we found ourselves noticing things that we would have previously walked straight past. Ben was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable... More

We really enjoyed the walk exploring the street art and cultural diversity. I would really advice this tour as an insight to the London "behind the scene".

This tour blew my mind. I have been following and collecting banksy for many years now and although the prints are amazing obviously the impact of the street pieces is phenomenal, as the stencils were devised to be used outdoors!The tour is incredibly well organized and complete and I enjoyed this experience fully. I feel recommending this to anyone into... More

This tour completely changed the way I experience the city. I've been living in London for about 3 years, and I always perceived it as an amorphous mass of concrete. After this tour, however, I started noticing little pieces of art everywhere around me that suddenly made London seem really special, even beautiful. All this thanks to an eye-opening tour... More

I love art, and learning, and this tour gave me a chance to do both. It is a fascinating look behind the scenes into London's street art subculture, led by a young man who is extremely knowledgeable and is in fact a street artist himself. I suppose he is also somewhat of an entrepreneur to start this business. I attended... More

The tour is really great and I think Banksy is a phenomenal superstar, though you may want to also visit the latest show in London now http://bit.ly/10Q50Wv, pretty good as it shows the future!

I booked this tour for 40 students and 4 staff from a school in the North East of England. I was impressed first of all by the professional and helpful information I was given by Karim via e-mail before our visit. Karim and Claude our guides were very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our street art tour immensely, taking hundreds of... More
