"Igor is a great tour leader. He is a part of the street art community (an artist in his own right) and knows many of the artists and the 'rules' of the genre. Igor explains these rules by reference to examples he points out on his walking tour. To say it was an education for us is an understatement! We can now view street art with a whole new appreciation. We learnt so much from Igor that we now look out for street art in all our travels. Definitely a tour to go on!"

Amazing strert art tour!
"Igor gave an incredible street art tour in Lisbon. We had just arrived and he helped introduce so many parts of Lisbon we wouldn’t have known about. He showed us incredible pieces of art, explanations about them and great stories to go with them. Igor was so informative about Lisbon and street in general. We have been on graffiti tours in many cities, this one was at the top for sure! "
