Lifelong love of Melbourne. - How good it was to discover this tour! Both for locals like myself and tourists. If you want to get to the beating heart of Melbourne, Australia, do this tour. David, our street artist tour guide, expertly explained and informed our group about both the art itself and the significance of the underlying culture. After leaving the lane ways, the group jumped on a free city circle tram for a short distance. The tour then ended at Blender Studios, artist workshop spaces aptly founded and directed by Adrian Doyle. Doyle is an accredited Melbourne based artist with a thoughtful approach to the public art scene, the development of Melbourne and a sustainable work life for artists of Melbourne.

Exceptional and unique experience - Fantastic tour with Dave - great way to see another side to the city and experience street art with an actual artist. The last stop at the studio was a wonderful experience - didn’t expect to meet artists and see them working live!

The glee of it! - My grandson aged 6 had the best time spraying and smudging paint on canvas. It was a delightful way to spend time with him.

10/10 Worth It - Ben was an awesome tour guide, explaining so much of the craft behind Melbourne's street art and history. Wild to know that there is 30 years worth of painting on these laneways. His input shifted my perspective entirely and helped appreciate the CBD more. Returning to Blender Studios to snacks and refreshments was a super nice finishing touch!

Excellent street art tour of Melbourne - We've been on many street art tours, and this is right up there with the best of them. Very personal, especially since the tour guide is a street artist himself. He took us to places we never would have found on our own, and his commentary and descriptions were super detailed and interesting. We learned SO much. We also really enjoyed our visit to Blender Studios at the end of the tour. Highly recommend - book this tour NOW!

Excellent and informative tour! - This tour was excellent! Our guide, Tom, is an artist and so very knowledgeable about the art and the area (lots of good food recommendations!). He was very engaging and thoughtful and worked to make sure we had a great tour experience. I really learned a lot. He showed us a wide range of work from small pieces, to large murals and pointed out things we would have never noticed like installations of small objects. We also enjoyed the tour of Blender Studios where we had some yummy snacks and met some of the artists. Great way to see some of the city and learn something new!
