Melbourne Street Art
Jim_W, Oct 2025
An eye opening view of the street art subculture! I doubt that most people would be able to see the difference between graffiti (bad) and street art (good) without this experience! Our guide did a great job at explaining street art and I do recommend you check it out!
Street art can’t be missed!
Steve_C, Aug 2025
Great personal experience seeing street art with a great tour guide. I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks so much! Glad you had a great personal experience, really appreciate the recommendation!
Great Introduction to Melbourne’s Street Art Scene!
Matthew_E, Feb 2025
Very informative tour! I'm an experienced street art photographer, but still learned a lot - particularly about the local artists. The guide (Matt) was very knowledgeable and passionate! The tour focused on the Flinders Lane area, but prepared me to visit other locations in Melbourne on my own that have impressive street art collections, such as Fitzroy-Collingwood and Richmond. I also really enjoyed visiting the studio afterwards and meeting many of the artists who work there. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
A big thank you for your awesome 5-star review of Melbourne Street Art Tours! We're thrilled you loved your experience and can't wait to have you join us again on FITZROY TOUR :)

Just an amazing adventure with the group. Dave our guide was the best, knowledgeable, passionate and funny. This experience is truly enlightening, seeing the best of Melbourne's urban art and with Daves knowledge we got to see art off the well beaten tourist track. Going to Blender Studio was a fascinating experience.Watching the artists at work and takling to them about their art was very special. Would I recommend this tour to family and friends........ HELL YES. .

Thomas was very informative & had some great stories to tell. We were also lucky to do some street art ourselves!
Allison_G, Dec 2024
It’s a great tour. Wear good walking shoes & take a hat. Meeting the artists at the end & the drinks & nibbles was a great way to end our tour. Thomas is a great guide & artist! Loads of knowledge!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you so much for the kind words! Tom will be stoked to hear you appreciated his knowledge. We hope to see you again on another tour soon!
STREET ART-Pride of Melbourne
RosieAiPing_M, Nov 2024
Highlight- Ben, street artist himself and great guide. Incredible understanding/ knowledge of Street Art. Great organization, pickup no waiting, great value for time. Delicious food and drinks at end. Wonderful studio in Spencer St. More talented artists and different art media on display. Artists in studio very sharing of information and different techniques. It was a joy to see how ART is thriving. I really loved the different stories how it all started, the personal take on each art piece on street and in the studio. How street art developed and so many different expressions of it today! From tiny quirky pieces to several storeys in size! A superb MULTISENSORIAL experience. Really could be a whole day tour for tourists with more physical stamina!! Ben went at a good pace and really was limited by time frame. Always willing to answer questions . Also includes a chance to go on Melbournes unique tram line as part of the tour!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much for your review, it's great to hear that you had such a good time on tour with our lovely Ben! Art definitely is thriving here at our Blender studios here on Spencer Street and it's great to have guests like yourself come visit and appreciate some of Melbourne's scene!
So Cool!
Paige_M, Nov 2024
Loved that this tour was done by artists themselves and returning to the Blender studio to see where they work and hang out was an added bonus.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much for booking one of our tours, we're so pleased you had a great time! Our artists love being able to open our studios up to people like yourself - we hope to see you back again!
Excellent
Barbara_L, Oct 2024

An outdoor art museum
Allison_K, Sep 2024
Our walking tour with Ben was an engaging and eye-opening experience! So cool to see the streets of Melbourne through an artist's lens, and we even felt a part of the action when he whipped out a marker at one point to add his stamp to the scene. We felt like we learned so much and it was a good way to get moving around outside despite the rainy weather!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your walking tour with Ben! It sounds like you made the most out of your tour despite the rainy weather, thank you for the great review!
Highly Recommended!
Sharmah_D, Jul 2024
Not only is this a chance to explore the beautiful, exciting and ever-changing landscape of art in the streets and laneways of Melbourne but it also offers the chance to learn more about the culture surrounding it. Great host Ben Barek, who is himself a talented artist, then brought us all to a lovely gathering at Blender studios which is in itself a wonderful place to visit. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dive into Melbourne art scene!
Maris_M, Mar 2024
Such a great tour! I loved this experience because not only did the guide give us a ton of information and context for Melbourne's street art and street artists, we also got to experience a vibrant art collective, too. The hospitality and community were really charming and beyond any other walking tour I've been one. One word of caution: the tour ends some distance from the CBD (I had to take a tram back to the starting place).
Fun day In Melbourne
Pip_G, Feb 2024
Terrific day in Melbourne. Knowledgeable guide who was part of the scene. The tour finished at an artists collective which was a fascinating experience as well.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you again for your review, and I wish you all the best in your future travels!
Street art tour - fabulous!
Jayne_T, Feb 2024
What a fabulous tour!!! We booked this on recommendation but we weren’t sure if it was for us but how fascinating it turned out to be!! Selbo (apologies if I’ve spelt that wrong) brought the art alive for us and explained the street art rules and etiquette so that we went away with a whole new understanding of this world. The nibbles and drinks back at the workshop went down really well too!!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Dear Jayne, i will pass your kind words to our artist - salvo Thank you again for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I hope you'll have the opportunity to join me on another tour in the future.
Fascinating, Fun, and Educational
Margaretta_R, Jan 2024
Our tour guide Ben was terrific! The tour was an education in both Street Art and Street Art culture. We learned about different styles and techniques and saw some fabulous art. It’s amazing what treasures are hidden in plain sight.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
I'm glad that you had a great time. Yeah Ben is a great tour guide and a nice guy. Thank you for your great review.
The colour of Melbourne
Emily_L, Jan 2024
It was a great experience to explore some of the city on foot and discover these lane ways full of art and stories. Our guide was incredibly informative.

Thanks for the awesome review I am really glad you liked the tour and enjoyed the wisdom of our tour guide
A hidden perspective of Melbourne
Lorie_J, Dec 2023
I now appreciate the thoughtfulness and artistic planning behind the street art found on beautiful laneways in Melbourne.
Our guide was friendly,...
Veronica_S, Nov 2023
Our guide was friendly, relaxed, professional, a practising and knowlegable street artist. Using the context of the wonderful lanes and alleys he guided us through, he explained the rules and challenges, styles and refinements, legalities and historical development of street art. He knows and names his street artist peers, helping us appreciate the range of styles and challenges these talented people work with. A tour of the collective studio at the end was a treat, showing the art on public walls is the fruit of experimentation and critical thinking by dedicated artists. I appreciated his sharing of his personal practice in the context of the broader Melbourne community and current events. The tour expanded my art education and enjoyment. Thankyou! Veronica.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
"Wow, what a lovely review! It warms our hearts to know that you had such a memorable experience with us.
Grateful...
Janice_S, Aug 2023
Exposed to a variety of art from an amazing, passionate and great artist who gave us full permission (and suggested that we do) to have our own idea of what we like. Loved every bit of the tour coming away with a new respect.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thanks Janice! So glad you found our tour eye opening :)
