Additional Information
Hello, future Visitor!
In a world where everyone is always in a rush, we often move through our environments without pausing to appreciate the many hidden wonders that surround us. This tour is an opportunity to slow down and explore the artistic expressions of local and international street artists.
No two street art tours are the same as the streets and walls are dynamic canvases that constantly evolve. Every piece of artwork possesses a unique meaning - some convey social or political messages, others are purely decorative, and some may defy categorization.
Throughout this 2-hour journey, we will delve into various subjects including Hungarian culture and recent history while admiring an array of street art.
By the end of this experience, your perspective on city streets will be transformed, and your perception will be forever changed.
Look forward to seeing you there!
This tour is highly interactive and perfect for families too.
Kind Regards,
Etele a.k.a. E.T.

Fine trip, fine guide. - We learned where to look, interprete and enjoy the mostly hidden in clear site messages and streetart expressions in Budapest. It was (mostly) not as i expected about beautifull paintings but more about the messages they presented. This opened up our view a bit more.

Not to be missed! Definitely a major highlight - This was an indisputable highlight for this trip to Budapest. ET was informative, passionate about street art. He possesses extensive knowledge of the European street artists often supplementing his talk with historical context. He also shared several resources and insta pages for us to follow.
He varies each tour so I am definitely coming back for another round. Weekday tours aren’t as well attended so he tailors them to the audience!

Amazing! - The tour was very informativ and you really felt that the host has a lot of passion for street art.
Host was very likeable, made the promise that we will look at the streets in a different way after the tour - and he was right!
Highly recommended

Passionately curated ! Awesome experience - ET is an amazing guide, truly passionate about the street art culture. The attention to detail was really insightful and I am able to ‘see’ the street art and it’s so much more that murals.
Thank you ET
Highly highly recommended!

Well worth doing ! - Fabulous tour explaining the sticker and art culture of Budapest. I definitely see the city differently when walking now after having some knowledge of this culture. What I previously thought was just graffiti turned out to be something else completely. I have discovered there is so much more to see and discover when getting off the tourist track. It is well worth experiencing this tour.

Street art and a change of perspective - ET is a chronicler of the streets. He took us on a journey through the Jewish quarter in Budapest, with an eye for what often remains invisible: the city's subculture. He knows the stories behind the artworks, writings, stickers and scribbles of the street artists: those of the large murals and those of the faded stickers in the farthest corner of the street. While walking through the neighbourhood together, you learn so much about the history of the city, about pop culture, the relationship between art and politics and the way street art works. At the end, you leave with a new perspective on the city - and a block full of good recommendations for pubs and cafés. Thank you for this!
