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.

This was incredible.....learnt so much about the nuance of genres of 'Street art'. Heard about the political context. Saw latest additions to walls in part of the East End. Saw beautiful and bold, tiny and meaningful. Unique expressions from many and passionate opinions from a truly excellent tour guide. Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic, informative and entertaining tour around East London Street Art. We learned so much about graffiti and its evolution. Getting to have a go at making our own graffiti art in their well appointed studio was a real bonus

This tour is great. It’s good value and there’s plenty to enjoy (food, drink and shops) in the area after the tour. It managed to entertain my parents (70 yr plus) and teenage sons.
The tour guide was interesting, passionate about street art and good company.
We tried the spray painting workshop after the tour and it made me appreciate the skill of the street artists.

This was the highlight of our trip. Educational and informative and fun. A little gem of a tour that left us with so much more respect for tags and street art. Our guide was lovely, polite and interested in her group and her passion of what she does oozed out of every pore.
To learn about the neighbourhood and its community, to introduce us to an area we’d probably not have visited added to the enjoyment.
To be able to get onto the workshop after just made my son’s day.
We hope to enjoy the food tour one day!
