Our guide Ben provided an education on Street Art techniques, a framework for understanding Street Art culture, and artistic insight. The pieces he introduced to us ranged from large murals to small installations on window ledges. So many treasures I know I would have otherwise overlooked!

Our tour ended at Blender Studios where we were warmly and graciously welcomed and treated to both a tour of the studios and yummy drinks and snacks. The entire afternoon was enlightening and inspiring.

The street art tour was really led by an insider. Dean had a great deal of knowledge about the different styles and artists, which he conveyed in a humorous and entertaining way. He was also able to tell us the stories behind some of the works and he answered questions. I really enjoyed the tour and it was very informative. A highlight was definitely the visit to the Blender Studios at the end, where we were able to get to know different artists and their works over an aperitif. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, both the artists and our tour guide were available for conversation. This tour was really something special - thank you very much!

Cheers to @kaspersart, Doyle and Pia at Blender Studios/Melbourne Street Tours.
I am an absolute newbie and this freehand workshop was pitched in a way that made me feel at ease to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
Kasper shared his knowledge and insight of years of experience as a street artist along with handy tips to make the most of this hands-on workshop.
Getting stuck in to practice before sketching and planning a piece was great, as was the morning tea ;-)
Blender is a really inspiring space and we were made welcome to wander the studio and check out the show in the front gallery.
I was proud to come away with my first ever painting and highly recommend checking out what Melbourne Street Tours and Blender Studios has on offer.

My kids did a spray paint stencil art workshop and had a terrible time, the organisers were very authoritarian and constantly told the kids to stop talking to each other. Told them to ask if they needed help but when they did, they were gaslit and told they could do it by themselves. They were told to do their names instead of the artwork they wanted to do as it would be easier. The dietary requirements were asked beforehand but then when snacks were offered the kids asked if they were able to eat it and the teachers said they were too busy to check so they just had to miss out on the snacks. These holiday workshops should be fun, engaging, social and respectful. They think that children should be treated badly to do well. Would definitely not recommend. The bare minimum is to treat everyone with respect, children are worthy of respect and if I have to ask for that then that's not okay....

I was very sorry to here that you had a less than satisfactory experience, after further research I was informed that you have been fully refunded for this workshop. I was also told that you had been informed that your kids were to young for the workshop but you insisted that they would be fine even after being dissuaded. The artists told me that your kids took one full artists for the whole time even though there were ten other kids in the workshop, your kids were being demanding and making the class hard for the artists and participants. I was told that it would not have been possible for your kids to do a face image and that younger one could barely write his name. In regards to the vegan food I am sorry that the artists could not read the muesli bar and popcorn packaging but I once again feel that any young person old enough to do this workshop should be able to check there own ingredients. We had reports that the workshop was cool and fun by other kids please read other reviews below. I am sorry that you felt we were disrespectful we will now be certain to ensure young people are the right age for this project.

Akemi our guide is a true 20+ year street artist. He knows his art and the history of what's on the walls of lanes in Melbourne. We had a group of about 10 that just loved the tour of the street art plus visiting the studios where many artists work. I met a fellow traveler on another tour that said this was a don't miss opportunity. She was right.

We went on the street at tour and had a really good time. The guide been was friendly accommodating and informative. We saw some parts of Melbourne that we never seen before following that we were back to the studio and saw how they work as a cooperative group - inspirational for anybody who is an artist. Thoroughly recommend!

What an amazing tour, loved hearing about how graffiti has a language and walking the hidden laneways of Melbourne. To top it off we got to see the studio where a range of artists worked. Thank you Ben Barek, an amazing artist himself, who was out guide.

My 2 boys did the Kids Holiday Workshop - Freehand Street Art with Blender Studio and they absolutely loved it. The whole 2 hours was informative, interactive and totally creative. The guys gave heaps of tips and assistance to the kids and guided them through the graffiti learning process. We even got to pay the $10 and take the artwork home. Totally worth every cent and a great day out.

Awesome experience. Large part walking tour, small part tour of studio, this experience ranks as a must do while in Melbourne. Our host, Ben, was fantastic and all aspects were 100% I especially enjoyed the end where we were offered free drinks (nice perk) and a tour of the faculty and exchange with artists.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Caesar. He showed us some great spots with amazing artwork. It’s so interesting to see how frequently the art can change. We finished the tour with a look around the studio which was very interesting. We were given complementary drinks and snacks at the studio.
