Street art Tour for all...not just tourists. - The tour isn't just for tourists, we are both locals with an art background. We wanted to explore the street art scene with someone who works on the inside. There was lots of info about styles, experience, method, and discovering hidden little gems around the city was great. The tour ended back at Blender Studios where about 18 artists work. We had wine, cheese, a tour of the studio and great conversation.
Thanks for an excellent experience.

A must do local experience - If you're going to do a Melbourne street art tour go with this organisation which support and encourage local street artists. Louis was our guide, he gave us a real insight into the life of a local street artist, different techniques used and the artist's work. At the end of the tour you finish at their studio where you are spoilt with drinks and food whilst having a tour of the studio space. Lovely people and a great experience.

Street Art Appreciation - We were greeted with a rare sunny winter Melbourne day and was welcomed by Ben from Blender Studios. Before the tour had started, Ben provided safety instructions and a very detailed itinerary for the tour. He was very knowledgeable of the street art on the tour and provided insightful explanations and stories of each art piece. Be mindful that the bluestone paths and laneway roads are uneven.
The tour ended at Blender Studios with a generous spread of cheese, dips and drinks. It was amazing to explore the studio and learn the different techniques and styles of each artist. We loved the paint lab! The directors at Blender Studios were very friendly and welcoming.
Would definitely recommend this tour if you're keen on learning more about the street art culture in Melbourne or looking for a fun date activity like us. We left with a greater appreciation for street art and the work of Blender Studios.

Street art at a whole new level - This is a must-do tour if you are interested at all in the street art scene. Ben was our guide and his knowledge about the Melbourne street art and graffiti is incredibly deep and well put together. His delivery was interesting and personal, which makes the tour much more well rounded and unique. The street tour ends at the Blender Studios, but then another wonderful aspect of the tour opens up as Ben walked us through his colleagues work areas. Being able to have a small glimpse into each of these artists areas gave us a once in a lifetime look at many different techniques and approaches they each bring to the world of art. Again, this is a must see tour and well worth the price.

Street Art Tour - It was a very cold and windy day but that didn't distract from this excellent tour led by Tom. He was engaging, very knowledgeable and passionate about street art. The tour finished at the Blender Studios with a look at the wide range of art being created including Tom's very cool figurines. We also appreciated the lovely morning tea.

There's so much to learn and appreciate about street art! - We very much enjoyed our time with Ben exploring various street art spots in central Melbourne. We learned so much about street art, saw places we would not have found on our own, and learned to see and appreciate not just the large murals, but the smaller works of art in many mediums throughout the spaces. We also appreciated the time at Blender studios meeting other artists and seeing their work. This tour has been a highlight of our time in Melbourne and we would highly recommend it to others.

Insight into street art and Melbourne - We had a wonderful tour today with David. Although we are Melbourne locals, David was able to give us insight into both the street art scene, as well as lots of other aspects of Melbourne we didn’t know. The tour ended up in the studio where we were warmly welcomed by all the artists and given a comprehensive tour of the artists work spaces. The tour was a gift to my wife and won me many brownie points!
The standard of the art we saw was amazing. This tour gave us a better understanding of the amount of thought and talent that went into creating these works of art. We have a new found appreciation of street art which adds to our enjoyment of all these special spaces.
