Time well spent exploring Bucharest through urban art - This was a very interesting tour, looking at the subject manner (history) from another perspective. Our guide, Andra, is an art student and was well placed to make the subject come to life. I really enjoyed learning about the city’s history, culture, and artists through her stories. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the city in a different way.

Great tour - Ioana was a fantastic guide who provided us with great insight into the history behind the artist and their creations. I would highly recommend this tour to discover all the hidden gems in the city (not just about street art).

Great experience - Wall art was fascinating because Elena provided a rich context. Also got to see interesting parts of the city and through Elena learnt a lot about the culture and history of Bucharest and Romania. Highly recommended.

Excellent street artwork that can be easily missed without doing tour - I booked this tour for the last day of my trip to Bucharest, since I had a free day with no activities, and I did not want a long tour that put pressure on me getting to the airport, so I booked the walking tour of alternative Bucharest. I am glad that I did. As it happened, I was the only participant on the tour that day. I am glad that I did that tour. I saw some very artistic street art on the walking tour. The guide was friendly, and gave an explanation of the art work that I saw on the tour. It is also important to point out that the artwork that I saw is largely not in the main areas of Bucharest that tourists visit, so it can be easily missed without going on the tour. It was also nice that the tour ended close to a cafe, where I could get a drink after all the walking I did. I included examples of the artwork that can be seen on the tour. There is far more artwork that can be seen.

Perfect art & history tour - The tour was just perfect. The knowledge that i got was not only about the murals & art, but also about the history and architecture of Bucharest. The tour shows much bigger perspective over the murals. The tour guide is very friendly and pays a lot of attention to the questions.

New appreciation for street art! - Ioana was a wonderful guide of the street art in Bucharest and opened my eyes to a new appreciation for street art in general! Lots of interesting information and the neighborhoods we walked in were my favorite in the city. Ioana also showed us great recommendations for food, coffee, drinks and a lovely bookstore.
