Street art from a street artist’s perspective - My friend and I booked this tour hoping to understand Melbourne street art from an insider perspective and this tour delivers! Ben, a street artist himself, was exceptional, sharing personal stories about the art we saw, his own street art journey, the history of Melbourne street art, specific techniques used, and so much more! The tour of the studio at the end was so cool, to be able to see the workspaces of the artists whose art we saw on the street up close and personal!
Overall, this tour is worth it for the insider perspective, to understand what we were looking at and the significance of even the smallest details, from freshly painted to faded hidden gems. Thanks Ben and Blender Studios for a great time! We highly recommend :)

Great introduction to Melbourne Street Art - Ben was our tour guide and did an amazing job. He took time to give us background on Melbourne’s street art history and techniques used in creating various pieces of art. We were able to see an amazing amount of art in two hours. We were able to see pieces we would likely would not have found on our own and it saved us time. We finished the tour at their studios where we got to meet and see work for several artists and had some great snacks and cold beverages. Overall a 5 star experience!

The best street art tour in Melbourne! - This type of tour is certainly enhanced when the guide is an artist themselves. Especially when it is such a renowned street artist like Matt!
He took us to a wide variety of street art, explained what we were looking at and gave us some info about the artist. What an amazing experience!
To top it off we went back to a co-operative where his studio is and we met and chatted to other artists about their work.

Excellent tour for anyone interested in art! - I booked the Melbourne Street Art tour during a city sojourn with my teens. Having an interest in street art culture and aiming to expose my kids to another dimension of art, proved to be the highlight of our visit to Melbourne.
Our guide Louis was personable & chilled, and gave an informative & interesting outline of the history, techniques & “rules” of the scene. We loved his works both on the street and in the studio. My teens thought he was “very cool!”, and the tour was their favourite experience of our trip.
Ending the tour by being shown around Blender Studios and artist’s working spaces was a an excellent component.
Highly recommended!

Cannot miss - Amazing walking tour of street art with an street artist. Our street artist Louis Moore was very knowledegable and we saw his work throughout the tour. At the end of the tour we went to see the artists studios and other artists work.

Everything you need to know about street art - We were led down the famous (and also off the map) lanes filled with street art and graffiti by Louis. He was absolutely amazing with inside knowledge about all of the artists and their particular techniques. We were also blessed with some of Louis’s own art (which was spectacular!). Very cool to have one of their own to show us around. LOVED.

Value added street art tour - The real value of this tour is your guide has lived and breathed street art. He has the knowledge to explain and show great examples of Melbourne street art something you would never get on your own. The tour I think was great value for money, I would recommend this experience.

Few new discoveries - Looking at reviews on this site, I feel like other people had an entirely different tour experience than we did.
We did not discover hidden lane ways you would never expect in Melbourne— rather, we primarily trolled the obvious offshoots from Flinders, including Hosier Lane and AC/DC Lane, both of which we had already wandered on our own.
Our guide looked uncomfortable throughout and spoke so quietly that it was impossible for our group to all hear him.
The absolute low point was boarding a tram, not to find more tagged streets, but rather to head to “the studio” — which took all the charm out of street art and candidly felt like being taken to someone’s brother’s rug factory…
