TREAT YOURSELF TO THIS STREET TOUR - Ben was great! He knew his stuff. Likable guy with a wealth of knowledge and familiarity with street art and graffiti (I learned there is a difference). He gave us a thorough tour for over two hours and as many miles. We walked at an easy pace with frequent stops. Although I've lived in San Diego for more than 40 years, I didn't know these sites in North Park. I recommend this tour for both tourists and San Diego natives.

A Must-Do!! - If you're looking for a unique way to explore San Diego, I can’t recommend the North Park mural art walk enough. I took my family when they were visiting over the holidays and we all loved it! Our guide, Ben, was phenomenal—his knowledge about each mural and the stories behind them added so much depth to the experience. Ben had a way of making everything super interesting and engaging! Whether you're a local or just visiting, this mural walk is a must-do.

A view into another world - San Diego Street Art Walk (North Park)- A very enjoyable walk around North Park to learn about street art (murals) as well as grafitti. Who knew there was so much to know? Well, Ben, our guide did. There are so many art styles and nuances of etiquette. I have a new perspective on this art form. Well worth the time!

Great street art tour and tour guide! - Ben is a really great tour guide! He is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about street art in general and the specifics of the neighborhood art and artists. Our group really knew nothing about the subject, but he was patient and encouraging with all our questions. We all learned so much and had a great time! I highly recommend Ben and this tour.

The Best Street Art Tour Ever! - Go on this tour today! It is absolutely the best San Diego street art tour that you will experience! Our tour guide, Ben, was an excellent guide with so much insight and knowledge. His passion for the arts really shines through, and you can tell how much Ben enjoys his job and showing off the beautiful art in San Diego. As a local, I enjoyed this tour by myself and Ben made the entire group of only 7 guests feel comfortable and relaxed together. I cannot wait to bring my friends on this tour next! I learned so much about the San Diego art scene and I learned things I didn’t even know I didn’t know! I really can’t thank Ben enough for such a wonderful tour. I loved every minute and I cannot recommend this tour enough!
