"Maria was wonderful and this walking tour introduced us to so many amazing pieces of street art and the styles and information about some of Spain and the world's most famous graffiti and urban street artists. I LOVED this tour from start to finish. Such a different view of the city. "
"Maria was a great guide through El Carmen and gave us a very good insight and overview over Streetart Artists and spots! She gave us a intro into the history of Streetart and graffiti.
Maria, thank you ver much for the very nice tour!"
"We booked Elena for an arts tour and asked if she would be ok with our daughters (ages 6 and 4). At our meeting she had sketch books and pens and stickers - they were thrilled. She took us through the art district and gave us great information and insight. Along the way, she would have our girls work in art projects in their books and my husband and I were given time to check out the shops and places of interest. An amazing balance of fun and informative. "
"Drica made us feel right at home in the fantastic atmosphere of Lavapiés. It felt like being with an old friend with wonderful communication skills and excellent English. One has to understand the cultural importance of street art in Madrid, but also specifically in Lavapiés to truly appreciate the city. A must do with Drica. It takes you places that you would not see in Madrid without this tour. Thank you so much, we loved it. "
"Our family and a few friends arrived in Madrid and spent a delightful early afternoon with Drica seeing artwork and visiting the market in the Lavapies neighborhood. Drica was a wonderful guide, answering all of our questions and providing lots of intriguing history about Spanish life that we were seeing reflected in the artwork. Our family has many food restrictions and Drica skillfully was able to find tapas and a quieter place for our group to sit in the marketplace. We learned a ton about contemporary Spain too and she was a very responsive communicator when we set up the tour to tailor the tour to our group’s interests and worked with our group’s pace. We highly recommend this experience! "
"Maria is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We learned a lot about the artists and specific images we had been walking by all week. There is so much graffiti and paintings in Valencia. Choosing what to view and discuss is a challenge. We became more observant after the tour. We would like to know more about the relationships between those who paint images and those who paint script and initials only. Also, we also want to know more about those who choose own walls to paint and those who are paid by property owners to paint on their gates and walls. "
"I had a great time learning about street art and artists in Valencia. Maria was an amazing guide, who gave me so much information. It was a great way to spend the morning. I highly recommend this tour."

Smily visit of a lively district
"Drica was a great guide, showing us her favorite art pieces, giving a bit of historic and local context and recommending good adresses. It was a great way to discover the district of lavapies with a more local view, and enjoy some typical vermut in the neighborhood market. It really felt like diving straight into a community and lively district, while understanding the recent gentrification problems and changes it is facing. It was an awesome morning, with the happy and interesting company of Drica :)"
