Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Small group tour led by an artist from Blender Studio. Each tour is different, reflecting the personality, taste and artistic interests of that specific artist/guide. Makes you see things you would never notice or understand. Eye opening and fascinating. Gives you new found respect for street artists. I would do this tour again any time I’m in Melbourne.

Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate and had us thoroughly interested in the Melbourne street art. Pointing things out we’d have never discovered ourselves . Really interesting seeing the studios that many of the artists work from and meeting some of the artists.

Very interesting street art walk in central Melbourne with a most knowledgeable guide, Salvo. The real value is understanding the various artists enroute and the relationship between the artists and the taggers. Down some lanes and alleyways where one would never usually venture. Big range of the types of street art all explained by our very chatty guide. Ended up at Blender Studios where artists have their own space and were working. A great experience and well worth the 3 hour duration.

A great way to view the art, get to know the stories & culture about the medium & the world of street art. Our guide Ben looked after us & imparted a lot of information, pointed out certain works, gave history on the artists also helped us negotiate streets & tram. We saw & went to streets & areas we probably wouldn't have seen or viewed if on our own even with a map. I especially liked visiting Blender studios which included a nice afternoon tea with lots of beverages & treats to eat.

This tour was way more informative than I imagined it would be and I found it very interesting. Having the tour run by the local artists themselves gives you more insight as well. Going to the studio afterwards was also cool, and having a snack and drink offered when we got there was delightfully unexpected!

Our guide Ben provided an education on Street Art techniques, a framework for understanding Street Art culture, and artistic insight. The pieces he introduced to us ranged from large murals to small installations on window ledges. So many treasures I know I would have otherwise overlooked!

Our tour ended at Blender Studios where we were warmly and graciously welcomed and treated to both a tour of the studios and yummy drinks and snacks. The entire afternoon was enlightening and inspiring.

I absolutely loved our tour guide. He was experienced in tagging and street art himself and I would highly recommend this tour to family and friends. It was very informative and I loved that they hired staff who are experienced in the area and knowledgeable about other artists work.

We had so much fun and learned a lot. Our guide (@thesalvoproject) was passionate about the art, explained tons of interesting history, vocabulary, and trivia, and handled a tram delay without shorting our tour. The return to the studio and viewing local art/artists was a rare experience. We saw places and learned things we could never have accomplished on our own.

I've always been curious about the street art scenario in Melbourne CBD, and the walk organized by Blender Studios was a great occasion to explore the inner city streets. Our tour guide brought us to see some fascinating art pieces hidden amongst other artworks. It was a nicely paced walk with interesting background stories about the artists and the city. A great way to enjoy the city!
