Graff Tours: Fantastic Workshop and Tour!
Aug 2022 • Family
I brought a group of teen students, and they've been telling me how cool the tour and workshop were. Our teaching artist and guide, Eddie, did a fantastic job of showing them how to create their own artwork with spray paint and gave us a fascinating tour of street art and graffiti in Bushwick. This trip was definitely a highlight of the summer! I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in NYC street art and culture.

Amazing!!
Mar 2023 • Family
Took my two daughters (10 & 14) to this, and they absolutely loved it. Leaf was amazing answering their questions (and mine), teaching them the techniques and processes, and letting them learn while helping them make something that I'm framing and putting up on the wall in my office. They were asking me to take them again before we ever made it back to the hotel.

If you're looking for something a little different, love art, and/or want a large piece of art for your home, I would definitely recommend doing this. It's definitely worth the time and money.

Great informative tour
Mar 2023 • Solo
I took the Brooklyn Street Art Tour and can wholeheartedly recommend it. You don't only see some great pieces of street art, but you also learn the story behind them and general history of graffiti culture. Our guide was very informative and made the tour even better than I was expecting. All in all very interesting experience. The tour is definitely worth taking.

The tour start was delayed by few minutes, cause our guide was late from the previous tour. But it took almost 2h instead if planned 1,5h. So take that into account and don't make your schedule too tight ;)

Best Streetart-Tour
Mar 2023
This was an amazing Streetart-Tour and Audrey was the best guide we could have wished for. She has so much knowledge about the history of Graffiti and Streetart, the shown art, the artists and their history. Soooo interesting. We enjoyed every second and time just flew by. The next time we are in NYC we will do the tour again since the art or writing changes permanently and there is always something new to see. Thank you.

Very informative
Aug 2022
Loved this tour! Looking at graffiti will never be the same for me, I never realized the history and the deep meaning behind each graffiti art and it’s artists.Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable. Only problem was it’s at 1pm, so bring a hat, glasses and water.

Brilliant tour of beautiful works
Jul 2022
This tour was brilliant and IMHO one of the best value things we did on our trip. Our guide was super-knowledgeable about the art and the artists and changed the way we look at the stuff we see on the streets all around us. My brain will never be the same again (in the best way). Bring a water-bottle, and wear sunscreen!

Our tour guide was amazing. The amount of information about all the artists and their works was very informative. We got a great understanding about the street art scene and the codes of the street. The tour was very interactive and we were able to get all our questions answered. This tour was authentic and I highly recommend Graff if you are able to make it to Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Street Art Tours
Apr 2022
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable not just about graffiti and street art but the subcultures surrounding them.
I really enjoyed the tour and walked away having learned a few things about the NY scene and the city in general that I wouldn’t have expected to learn. The tour guide was brilliant many thanks. The name of the tour is perhaps a little misleading though, it should probably be called street art tours as graff to me implies a focus on strictly the graffiti scene including the bombing side of the game and not street art. There was a bit of this on the tour and our guide knew her stuff but it was not the focus.

Fascinating, engaging tour off the beaten path
Mar 2020
We're frequent travelers to NYC, and also knowledgeable art lovers. Graff Tours provided a private tour for our group of 5 to the extraordinary murals and street art of Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood that gave us a window on a part of the art world we don't know well. Our guide - @bytegirl - gave us a deep dive into the culture, style, and world of street art, including history, a bit of who's who, and a detailed view of many artworks. She was superb! We had so much fun and learned so much! The company was very easy to work with, sensibly priced, gave great directions, and our guide was right on time. Highly recommended!
