Toronto Graffiti Alley Street Art Guided Walking Tour
Toronto has a thriving graffiti scene, with walls covered in striking street art. On this guided walking tour, your guide takes you to Graffiti Alley, a popular spot for graffiti artists, while you learn graffiti slang, terminology, and the history of Toronto street art.
Highlights
- ✓Whether you’re for or against graffiti, hear opinions on both sides of the divide
- ✓A chance to check out the stores and restaurants on Queen Street
- ✓Learn about notable Toronto graffiti artists
- ✓Centrally located: A great spot to explore the city from after the tour
What you'll see & do
- ✓This is our meeting spot! MEC (Mountain Equipment Company) is a large, well-known, 2 storey store in the area and should be easy to find. Meet your guide beside the store near the bike racks.
- ✓Most of the tour is centred around Queen Street West and the alleys on either side!
- ✓Learn about the history of graffiti and the main types found throughout the world. While strolling and viewing the graffiti your guide will discuss the many sides of the graffiti issue and viewpoints of property owners, the police, the City of Toronto, the general public, and the graffiti artists themselves.
