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!

Don't Miss This! - Ben really knows his stuff! I would highly recommend this tour for locals and travelers. It's a great way to see and learn about San Diego murals and street art. And if you love murals, be sure to head over to Barrio Logan and Chicano Park after taking this tour. That was great advice from Ben!

Fun Tour - I did this tour with my adult son and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But, we both had a great time and learned a few things. Walking thru the neighborhood and looking at the murals and learning about street art and graffiti was fascinating. Knowledgeable tour guide and a fun way to spend some time in North Park!

Great vegan food tour and SD fun facts! - Such a great tour and fun way to meet new people! Ben was incredibly knowledgeable and I had a great time. I’m a local and really enjoyed learning more about the history of the city. I’m not a vegan myself but learned a lot about veganism and enjoyed food I typically wouldn’t go for.

Vibrant creative and educational - Meeting the owners of the Queen Bee and from Shank and Bone restaurant. Art work was so amazing and inspiring. Ben was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the art, creators, and the history of the art. Loved that he brought us to meet his friends along the way. Awesome communal sketchbook. I hope he uses the one sketch someone did of him to create t shirts and other swag. Would Def do another tour with Ben. Thanks for showing us around!

great tour for visitors and locals! - Such an awesome way to spend a few hours of a sunny Saturday! I've lived in SD my entire life and had always wondered about our awesome street art in my North Park neighborhood. Ben is a super knowledgeable guide who had a lot of good info about the context of street art and graffiti in the neighborhood, brought us around to some awesome local art spaces, and highlighted the unique corners of North Park! Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the city from a different, less conventional perspective (locals and visitors alike!)
