Graff Tours

We visited with my family (myself, husband and 3 sons aged 16,14,11) and it was an epic and unique experience. Leaf was an excellent instructor and artist. He gave us just enough direction with a mix of independence and we walked out with really memorable and personalized canvases of graffiti art that we will love forever. We used good quality water based spray paint so almost no fumes. I Highly recommend the large canvas , it's the best value for the experience! Thank you!!

So my birthday this year was about experience in things I love. Graff Tours Graffiti workshop did not disappoint. I lucked out with a private session because the other participant was a no-show. The Ghostface Mims was a great instructor. Knowledgeable and direct with his instructions approach, we made good use of our time and making the experience worthwhile. I totally plan to do this again and (maybe) with a group of friends. I actually wish this was a longer experience. That would be my only suggestion.

Came here for a work event. It was a lot of fun. It began with a tour of close by graffiti and a historical telling of the works or graffiti. The paint is water based so you don’t have to worry about noxious fumes and needing masks or gloves. They also provide them if you need them. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and reflects a long history of involvement in the world of graffiti. I would recommend it and may have some bday party here!

I had a great experience with Isabelle, she was patient with me and actually taught me to spray my own mural after one lesson and never having used a spray can in my life for the purpose of creating art. She's happy to share her knowledge and technique; I'm excited to book more lessons with her. Glad I discovered Grafftours in NYC

We had a great time during our tour. We saw beautiful graffiti and heard interesting historical facts about the region and the art itself. Can definitely recommend 👏🏻

Went on a tour with Eddie who is a legend of graffiti writing and gave me a firsthand account of the history of the art. He shared with me the culture and values of artists past and present with a thorough knowledge of specific artists working the streets today. I have lived in NYC for 15 years and it was one of the best experienced I've had since I moved here. Logistically, the meetup location was easy and on time. Communication was great throughout the process. Highly recommend.

My son and I had a fantastic time today at Graff Tours' graffiti class. The class is limited to a handful of students at a time given the small size of the studio, which looked really cool and was well ventilated. They use water soluble spray paint, so there aren't any fumes to worry about, but they have masks on hand, if requested. Lief was our instructor and was great - really patient and answered any questions that we had. He also covered up any parts that we messed up a little. Since my son and I were together, we ended up sharing a big canvas. There was another family of 6 there, and 5 of them shared another canvas. In the end, you get to keep your finished piece. Street parking is available - if you go on a Sunday, it's free. Lots of beautiful street art in that area too.

This was so much fun. Instructor was amazing and talented. We were so pleased with our end artwork and can’t wait to bring it home and show everyone.
