Great Introduction to Melbourne’s Street Art Scene! - Very informative tour! I'm an experienced street art photographer, but still learned a lot - particularly about the local artists. The guide (Matt) was very knowledgeable and passionate! The tour focused on the Flinders Lane area, but prepared me to visit other locations in Melbourne on my own that have impressive street art collections, such as Fitzroy-Collingwood and Richmond. I also really enjoyed visiting the studio afterwards and meeting many of the artists who work there. Highly recommended!

AWESOME!! You will not be disappointed! - A must do while in Melbourne! We have done several street art tours in other countries, but have seen anything as extensive as this. It’s a huge part of their culture! Fascinating and incredible art! Our guide was passionate about it and very knowledgeable.

Amazing experience! - A really great tour: our guide Ben shared many interesting anecdotes, delved into the history of street art and the Melbourne alleyways and was extremely knowledgeable about the art. Very much enjoyed the tour of Blender Studios - an impressive and eclectic group of artists.

Melbourne street art - This is a fantastic walking tour, at a gentle pace and a couple of hours long. You just need to take your most comfy shoes and a bottle of water.
I took my artist sister in law, who is new to Melbourne. I wanted her to not just see the street art in Melbourne, but to learn about the artist community behind it. She loved all of it. From the realist to the quirky. This tour was right what she needed for some inspiration and connection in a new world.
For me, it was more about getting to know the ever changing street art that I walked by and wondered about for decades. I knew nothing of the artists, the history, the methods. This tour explained all of that.
We saw some great street art, we went to The Outsiders exhibit on Flinders Lane and finished off with a tour of Blenders Studio, meeting artists at work. They also provided refreshments which was much appreciated after a long walk.

No previous experience with street art. I loved what I learned. - I loved all of the individual information about the different artists and their work and that it was provided by an actual artist.
