Heart of Chicago

Mathew was fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the art that we saw. We were blown away by the street art scene and recommend this tour as a way to see parts of Chicago that a traditional tourist itinerary may skip.
Good tour through hip part of town

The art tour starts off slowly, with 30 minutes sitting at a table and essentially a lecture on street art. This was worthwhile but unnecessarily long, which was disappointing. When you get out, you are drawn into the interesting stories behind the artworks. You are introduced to various types of street art with a friendly and helpful guide who was glad to answer questions. I recommend it.
A wonderful experience: Street art is food for the eye and the brain

We live just outside Chicago and wanted to explore something different in the city. This Street tour was amazing. The tour guide (Brian) was very knowledgeable and started by explaining to us what public art / graffity art / street art are. Then we went off on our walk that took us through alleys and parking lots; we must have stopped at least at 5-6 sites; and some of them had multiple murals to look at. The guide was very generous both with his explanations and with his time, in fact the tour ended up lasting 2 1.5 hours. Truly highly recommended. We learned and saw things we didn't know,, and we've been living in Chicagoland for more than 20 years.
