If your an urban/street art newbie and don't know much about it then I think its great, but if you know your stuff, I think they will be telling you a lot of what you already know.

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by Trevorm on Sept 9, 2013 16:52:45 GMT 1, I took my daughter on one a couple of years ago - we had a proper result as the rest of the group, a party of about 8, cancelled leaving us as the sole clients.
Whether it's any good will be a matter of luck as to the extent of the knowledge of the host. We had a young guy called Mark Rigney (I think) and he certainly knew his stuff and was able to entertain us for about 3 hours.

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by Gard on Sept 9, 2013 16:55:59 GMT 1, I have been on the tour and they talk a lot about the graffiti artist and many of the local chaps. So even if you're on here and think you know everything they will still tell you a lot about artists you haven't seen before. I had great fun on the tour. But you know half of it already and you probably know more about that then they do

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by chichi carter on Sept 9, 2013 21:12:19 GMT 1, I went on one of these street art bike tours in Montreal earlier this summer. The organiser had the brilliant idea of having a different local street artist on every tour as a special guest guide. So they would feature a bunch of that particular artist's pieces (among others) and he would give you the story behind it. I can't say they really taught me anything I didn't know but I had a really good time nonetheless, thanks to the guest guide and his stories. Plus I saw this enormous Herakut piece I didn't even know was there. Most definitely worth 10,00$

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by Street Art London on Sept 14, 2013 8:57:14 GMT 1, Hi guys
We noticed that we were mentioned on the thread.
We like to think our tour, but more importantly our knowledge about street art and relationships with the top artists, are the best, but of course we would say that
This year we have organised two large scale international street art festivals and arranged a sequence of successful exhibitions in both Central London and Shoreditch. With these projects we have worked with top street artists and graffiti writers such as ROA, NUNCA, Conor Harrington, Phlegm, Dscreet, Malabrocca, REKA, RUN, Zomby, The Rolling People, Kid Acne, REKA, Liqen, Martin Ron, Zezao, Malarky, Christiaan Nagel, Pablo Delgado, Cityzen Kane, Thierry Noir, Hitnes, Stik and so on. Tours are secondary to us in many ways but we still love doing them.
We really have a thorough level of immersion in the street art scene in London. Our founder, Richard Howard-Griffin is putting on an exhibition next week for the artist John Dolan with the following street artists and graffiti writers in support:
ROA (BE), Steve ESPO Powers (US), Sever (US), Gaia (US), David Walker (UK), Stik (UK), Nomers (RU), Maser (IE), Thierry Noir (FR), RUN (IT), Zomby (UK), Christiaan Nagel (ZA), Ian Stevenson (UK), Martin Ron (AR), Liqen (ES), Ben Wilson (UK), Know Hope (IL), Dscreet (AU), Pablo Delgado (MX), MadC (DE), CEPT (UK), C215 (FR), Kid Acne (UK), BRK (ES), Michael De Feo (US), Ronzo (DE), Malarky (UK), 2Kold (UK), DALeast (CN), SNOE (UK), Faith47 (ZA), Agostino Iacurci (IT), Broken Fingaz Crew (IL), Hitnes (IT), Cityzen Kane (UK), Flying Fortress (DE), INTI (CL), Pelucas (ES), Rowdy (UK), SWET (SW)
Would be great to see any of you on a tour some time or at one of our next festivals or events.
It is always good to meet people from this forum.
Best Wishes
Street Art London

Yes we know about your show, you posted a million messages about it, this thread is about street art tours and not your show. so annoying.
Also nolionsinengland tours are better than Street Art London

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by Street Art London on Sept 14, 2013 9:38:34 GMT 1, Hi Maven
Thanks for your reply and the feedback.
Perhaps the post was to illustrate that our tours are operated by people involved in doing other street art projects in London in an independent non-brand supported way.
I think you are also referring to this thread: urbanartassociation.com/thread/108548/george-john-artist-group-show.
Noticed your comment here also about Rowdy's collaboration piece: "not sure whats the appeal on this series but this one is particularly ugly in my opinion".
Wow, you are a real hater! All that can really be said is thanks for that mate!
Haters are motivators as they say.... and when a really bitter hater such as yourself reveals themselves it's actually in many ways a backhanded compliment

Street Art Tour Shoreditch , by saint on Sept 14, 2013 10:28:24 GMT 1, I have a bit of a problem with these street art tours, as i stopped to listen to one while having a coffee and a crafty cig the other day and the guy giving the tour said about someones work that it was 'pretty average and brought the standard of art in the area down'...... I think anyone who wanders around chatting shit about stuff they can't do should have respect for people who go out and do it and i really wanted to call him out and ask if he could do any better. It shouldnt be up to these guys to say if something is good or not IMO, they should show the art and chat about the artists, not make judgements on the quality....

This bugs me big time. The guy might just like putting stuff out for his own enjoyment. I think it's bad for someone to say something isn't good. He should just say its not his cuppa if he feels the need to.
