A street art tour not to miss! - I really enjoyed my street art tour with Penelope. She had great background knowledge about all the pieces she showed me and was very passionate about the subject. We went also to places that were less touristic, so it was nice to see also the normal neighbourhoods. I participated in street art tours in different cities and this was definetely one of the bests I ever had.

Street art tour worth taking! - I had one of the best street art tours ever with Penelope. She had a great background knowledge of the murals/pieces she showed me and it was a lot of fun to discover the city through her eyes, also to see the less touristic places.

Amazing, high-energy passionate guide - We did 3 great tours in Greece - but this was the best. Penelope had high energy, a skill at leading a group, passion and a depth of knowledge around the subject matter, and of course the street art was stunning. We walked through a few neighborhoods - and learned some about the more recent history of the city. It was a great context after hearing about the very ancient history on other days. She was prepared and had other images to help us understand the artists work and role in graffiti across the world. It was fascinating. I’ve done 2 other street art tours (berlin and Buenos Aires) - but this was the best.

Wonderful tour with a fantastic guide - Penelope was our guide and she was incredible. There were 4 of us, including our grown daughter and her best friend, and we were with one other lovely couple from England on our tour. Obviously the art was beautiful and the technique and talent seen all over the city was so inspiring, but the heart of the tour was really learning about how the art reflects the history, culture, and politics of the area. We loved every minute of it and Penelope was so engaging and funny and willing to share her enthusiasm and point of view. Highly recommend!!

Awesome street art tour! - I did not know what to expect, but this tour was really fun and educational. It was also a cool way to explore different parts of the city. We saw multiple street artists’ works, learned about techniques and meanings behind their art, and learned how to identify different artists’ work. Our tour guide also included cultural elements when appropriate. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour would recommend to everyone - Being an urban dweller, a lover of art and history this tour exceeded my expectations. I can’t give enough high praise to the tour guide Penelope. Her knowledge of the history as it related to the urban street art both politically and historically was incredibly impressive. She not only made the experience educational but also a lot of fun. Efcharisto Penelope.
