Excellent - My husband and I went with friends and we happened to be the only four on the tour. We had a wonderful time. I’ve seen the North park’s murals many times but didn’t know anything about the artist, the techniques or their meanings. Ben, the guide, is clearly well connected in the art world of NP. I absolutely suggest attending this tour.

The other people that... - The other people that were supposed to join us rescheduled at the last minute, but Ben was kind enough to still take me on the tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed learning about the area and its art. I also liked getting to doodle in the group sketchbook and meeting local business owners/artists.

North Park Street Art Tour - Ben was an excellent tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and well spoken about North Park, with an obvious passion and interest in Street Art. He explained some of the history behind the culture and pointed out examples throughout the streets, alleys, and shops of North Park. Punctual, Professional, and Personable. I’d highly recommend San Diego Street Tours to both visitors and residents of San Diego.

Worth the money - The guide was very informative and kept the tour interesting and engaging. He was also very friendly and responsive to questions. We saw a number of excellent works, and learning the history behind them took the viewing experience to a deeper level. We also learned some things about North Park that made our afternoon in the neighborhood more enjoyable.

The local's guide to North Park Street Art - Ben's street art tour in North Park is an interesting peek into the unknown world that is all around us. We learned about street art ettiquete, some of the more prominent local artists, and were given the insight to look at the world around us in a fun and new way. Ben is loved by the community and his love for the neighborhood is on full display as he gives an insider look at the walls and alleys of an artistic mecca.

Ben is the best! - We did our second tour with Ben of San Diego Street Tours. This one was the North Park Vegan Restaurant Tour. It was fantastic. Ben is super knowledgeable on the history of Veganism and its evolution in San Diego. We had a great time and experienced great Vegan food at three different restaurants. The staff at each all knew Ben and served us amazing Vegan dishes. We highly recommend Ben, whether your a local, like us, or a visitor to San Diego.

Fascinating tour! - A fascinating morning spent with Ben exploring the Street Art in North Park. Ben is so knowledgeable about the area, the art and artists. We learned lots about the history, influences and techniques used. After the tour, we retraced our steps to some cool shops and Lovesong Coffee, a super place to chillax and recharge. All in all, a great way to spend a morning exploring a very hip neighbourhood.
