Fun experience

Terri_H, Apr 2024

Very fun experience. And you get a unique piece of art that you made to take home as well! The teacher was fun and helped us out when needed but also let us make some creative decisions.

Great for all! Teens and adults!

Laura_S, Mar 2024

Definitely with the trip we lived this activity! We have two teens and this was fun for all of us teens and adults.

Excellent experience - highly recommended

chanscill, Mar 2024

Excellent experience for visitors and locals! I went with my husband and our two children - ages 10 and 13. Everyone loved the lesson! Will have to come back again in the future and add on the neighborhood tour. Will never look at graffiti again in the same way! This is such a unique experience, highly recommended! We were so pleased with our final canvas, thank you, Graff Tours and Ghost Face Mims.

Amazing experience

Jennifer_M, Feb 2024

This was one of the best experiences. We had so much fun, our expert Mims was so talented, kind, and made the experience wonderful. Before leaving, my friends and I already wanted to return!! Definitely recommend and will be back 🎉💕

A birthday activity

Annabel_W, Jan 2024

I booked this as a suprise gift for my partners 50th birthday. It was a great way to spend an afternoon, get creative and we enjoyed wandering around the local area looking at the grafitti and wall murals. As someones whos not particularly creative it was something we'd never tried before, but we worked together under the guidance of our friendly grafitti artist instructor and have created a canvas to take home and be proud of!

Leaf is the Man!!!

Pauline_H, Dec 2023

Brilliant experience. Would defo do this again, theres so much to learn and being able to come away with your own piece makes this very worthwhile. Had "Leaf" as our instructor - real life graffiti artist. So incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about this, his art peices were very inspiring and real. Lovely guy

Fun Break from the usual tourist attractions in New York

Krisha_S, Dec 2023

This was really fun. Ghost did a great job of teaching us the techniques of painting with spray paint. He makes it look so much easier than it is! You get to take home your final canvas, and fortunately, he will put the finishing touches on it in case you are an armature like we are. Very enjoyable class!

Excellent alternative thing to do in NYC

Robert_B, Nov 2023

Our teacher Ghostface Mims was awesome, gave us some excellent graffiti tips, and helped us produce a piece which we got to keep and we will treasure forever It was an hour of great fun.

Fun Date Activity

AJandValerie_D, Nov 2023

Had an absolute blast learning with ghost today. This activity is a must try and definitely on a first date. I highly recommend!

Great Experience

ming1945, Aug 2023

Wonderful and different kind of experience. Learned about the history of Graffiti and techniques. Fun practicing with spray cans and experimenting with application. Eddie, our instructor, was extremely helpful. We are not ready for our brick wall yet, but activity did expand our perception and appreciation of graffiti art.

Sooo unique and incredible

Jennifer_K, Aug 2023

Ghost was the best! He was so funny & knowledgeable and we had the absolute best time. We got to make a cool family graffiti canvas to take home. Def 5 stars!!

Great class for Families

Lauren_N, Jul 2023

What a fantastic class - our only complaint was that it wasn't longer! We were a family of four - two adults and two kids (10 and 8). All of us had a great time and loved the final product, which was a combination of our efforts and our teacher's finishing touches. Would 100% recommend this tour (and already have to friends!).

Awesome experience

Tina_K, Jul 2023

Super fun and highly recommendable 🤩🤩🤩 Everyone got to do some grafitti and the Ghost added magic so it looked like real grafitti 🥰

This was a fun experience...

Kai_D, Jun 2023

This was a fun experience and something different! Highly recommend! Only wish we got to do our own instead a group canvas. You may request to do your own from the start of the class.

It was a great family...

Parwathi_S, Jun 2023

It was a great family activity creating a family art piece ! We are thrilled to display the art at home as a memory of our vacation!

Easy way to discover graffiti painting

Eric_J, Jun 2023

That was a fun activity and also an easy way to discover graffiti painting. Organisers are cool people and that was for us really a great NYC experience. Would advice to plan extra time before or after to visit the neighbourhood and all the real graffitis there !

experience did not meet...

Tija_S, Jun 2023

experience did not meet description. Additional unregistered participants were allowed in at the last minute which made the space too small to accomodate us, we signed up months in sdvance. Think twice before booking.

Don’t skip this while in NYC!

Amber_W, Apr 2023

Envy is a fantastic teacher and an amazing artist! She made the class really chill and fun. She made sure we left with a personalized souvenir that looked great! Highly recommend!

Awesome

Tim_E, Apr 2023

The most memorable part was the final product because it turned out much better than I expected because I thought it would look like blobs

Very fun and a great experience

Cindy_K, Mar 2023

The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient with the class. He was very helpful! This was a great experience and learning about this style of art. Would highly recommend.
