“Our guide Ava was really excited about showing us around the area and her favourite artworks on walls, signs, roofs and even the floor. Every piece of work has a true meaning and Ava did an awesome job by adding all details about the artist and the possible meaning. She also gave a good introduction into the scene of street art in general. The tour leads you to the hidden spots and off the path areas you'd never know as a visitor. If you're just barely interested into (street)Art i can only recommend this tour!”
