They cancelled at the last minute and didn't tell me until I asked twice that's really rude. I asked them if it was still happening and they informed me that I was the only person. I had to ask if that meant they were cancelling it. How hard is it to contact one person to day it's cancelled? They're in desperate need of a responsible grownup.
As a fan of street art culture, I was pretty disappointed by this tour. It followed basically the same route as the regular walking tour offered by this company and only really talked about 2 or 3 murals the entire 2 hours. Much attention was paid to describing the people and events in the murals, but nothing was mentioned of the artists or the messages that they intended to convey. Also, the murals spoken about in this tour were all commission works, which is a very small part of street art culture, and much less culturally significant than the various tags, pieces and murals that we passed by during the tour. This tour also took us into a museum which we had to pay for which for me personally is not acceptable on a free walking tour. The guide gave us a tour of the museum which, while the information was interesting, had literally nothing to do with street art. To sum up, I think the creators of this tour are unaware of what the street art movement is about. Perhaps they are trying to capitalize on the popularity of street art tours offered by other companies in other cities. You will get 90% of the info in this tour in the regular free walking tour offered by "the original". If you are wanting to learn about local artists, activism or cultural movements, you won't be very satisfied with this tour.
The booking was never confirmed and I never got a message telling whether the tour was happening or not or whether I could do it another day
I arrived at the meeting point but the guide didn’t show up. I didn’t get a cancellation in the mail. I waited for 15 min.
