A different and great tour - 2nd time if trying to send great review of v great walking tour. It was wonderful to get off tourist route and see real neighbourhoods. Briany is a great guide with so much knowledge of street culture and of how the art is created.

Two hours well spent - Briana led us on a very fun and informative walk through an unexpected array of vibrant street art. She deftly worked in backgrounds of the major artists whose work we were looking at, along with comments about the neighborhoods we went through. Our two hours sped by. Two solid thumbs up on this tour and our tour guide!

Fantastic walking tour and lesson on urban art! - What a fun experience! I strongly recommend this walking tour for anyone seeking a better appreciation for street art. I learned so much about the history of urban art, and the inspiration of various artists in creating their murals. I was amazed at beauty people are capable of in creating this art, and the knowledge our guide has about urban art could not be topped. I will never look at street art, and especially graffiti in the same way. It was a treat to explore Bucktown shops and restaurants too!

A great experience in Chicago - The guide was passionate and very knowledgeable. We we’ve given enough background so we could appreciate what we were seeing and where the artists were coming from. The art was great and it was a pleasant walk around a couple of suburban Chicago neighbourhoods
