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!

I didn’t know much about street art but walked away with a better appreciation after this tour. The tour guide knew a lot about the art and the artists behind each piece. She had met many of the artists and gave us a great insight into each piece as well as the street art culture. It was very interesting and we saw a diverse selection of artworks.

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.

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.

My friends and I booked a street art tour with Audrey. We learned SO MUCH! It was such a great tour. Honestly 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is interested in art, nyc, or just wants something cool to do.

My family (children aged 6 and 10) loved our afternoon with Graff Tours, led by the fabulous and very knowledgeable Audrey. She captivated us with her delivery and the stories she shared were fun and relatable for the kids. We live in NYC, and since the tour, my kids are more aware of and interested in the street art that is, well, everywhere! We ended the tour with a graffiti lesson from Leaf, where my kids created, with his oversight, a piece so cool that we plan to hang it in our home. Thank you, Graff Tours. We cannot wait to come back for another tour when the art changes over.

When we got off the subway in the Bushwick area we were a little skeptical. However, though our knowledgeable tour guide, we learned lots about the neighborhood and how it its changing. The urban art displays are impressive. Our guide knows many of these artists and she went into great depth the culture of street art and the different levels. My wife and I are fans of this type of expression and have seen it all over the world.. This is definitely a Must Do tour.

The instructor was very helpful and made the workshop interesting and best of all we got to keep the artwork we created. Cool experience. Only would recommend to anyone doing the workshop to bring the piece directly to your hotel and not store the canvas in a backpack, as our piece was a little smeered after walking around for the rest of the night. Would recommend 110%!

Graff tours was great. The workshops were full but I emailed and Gabe was able to add a private workshop for me. Lief was a great artist, knowledgeable and a great teacher. I’m more impressed than ever at what graffiti artist can create with spray paint!

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.

Do you get to take home the "masterpiece" that is created during the workshop?
