Darcy is great! - Darcy was great. So amazing to have a local person tell you about the real stories going on in the area and with England. He was very knowledgeable about the street art that we viewed and gave us lots of other great local tips about where to go and what to see

Great walk slightly out of the main tourist attractions - absolutely brilliant and informative tour of a different part of London. We had all worked or lived in London and were visiting for a weekend this was really enjoyable.

Wonderful chance to explore an area undergoing change - Really enjoyed the chance to explore the area and learn the history as well see the surprising street art. We wanted the chance to understand East London since this was an area we hadn’t yet explored on our previous trips. We covered all of the areas we were curious about Spitalfields, Brick Lane, Shoreditch), leaving a clear impression of where we might return for further exploration. Having a guide meant we not only saw the street art (and some out of the way pieces) but were better able to place it in historical context. Beckey was wonderful! Enthusiastic, interesting and made an effort to interact with each of us, making us feel welcomed and included.

A perfect combo of new & old on 1 tour! - We absolutely loved this tour of the East End, with the perfect mixture of historical information (from the Huguenots to the Jewish community to the current Bangladeshi community), while taking in the incredible modern street art! Becky was so knowledgeable, and really knew her history & art - pointing out the smallest art (which we’d walked right by multiple times) to some amazing large murals. She made Spitalfields and Shoreditch really come alive for us! Highly recommend this tour, and especially Becky as your guide!

If you like art and enjoy walking, this tour is for you - Wesley was our guide, and WOW, what a great experience. He was very knowledgeable about the street art and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. I’ve never seen an original Banksy, and he showed us several. Highly recommend!
