Two thumbs up! - We had a fantastic time checking out the local street art and learning about the city. Lori Ann knows the artists and does a phenomenal job of explaining the pieces and what motivates the artists. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about the city or this fascinating aspect of it.

A Great Cultural Walking Tour - The tour guide was very knowledgeable & interesting, sharing personal experiences with the artists & sharing the history of the artwork. Although this tour was a two hour walk on a very hot day, she was very accommodating & created a pace that I could keep up with. Thete was one rest stop in a hotel but I think that there could have one stop to sit down & have a drink and/ or something light to eat along the way.

Great Tour and Tourguide! - This was a really amazing tour! Lori Ann was very knowledgeable about not only each piece - but the street art culture in general. It was a very easy walk (even in the extreme heat) and incredible to see so many beautiful pieces are art in such a small area. She knew all the ins and outs of the location and we were so happy we did this tour with her and would highly recommend it!

Amazing graffiti and murals - Lori did an excellent job of showing and educating us on the beautiful graffiti and mural pieces on RoRo street. She always made sure we were hydrated and stopped under shaded area during breaks.

Recommend this tour of an interesting neighborhood - Lori Ann did a great job of introducing the group to the RoRo neighborhood and the history of the street art in the area. I would recommend this tour to locals and out-of-town visitors to gain some inside knowledge of an interesting part of Phoenix.

Art walk and many a back story! - Our tour guide Lori Ann was phenomenal! Communicative prior to our tour. Very knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about the art scene in her local area. I had 2 of my teenage sons with me and one friend of theirs-all of them were interested and it opened their eyes to a beautiful form of self-expression. I was very pleased! We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and meeting Lori Ann, thank you!!
