Overview

This original Tour Guys walking tour has introduced Graffiti Alley and graffiti culture to thousands of people since we started running this tour in 2011. On this walk you'll learn graffiti slang and terminology, understand the history of graffiti, and discover that there's more to graffiti than just writing on the wall. This is one of our most popular public tours, and it has been featured in travel publications, and on travel television shows featuring what's cool in Toronto. Tips are appreciated by the guide!

Itinerary

1. MEC

This is our meeting spot! MEC (Mountain Equipment Company) is a large, well-known, 2 storey store in the area and should be easy to find. Meet your guide beside the store near the bike racks.

Duration: 5 mins

2. Queen Street and West Queen West

Most of the tour is centred around Queen Street West and the alleys on either side!

3. Graffiti Alley

Learn about the history of graffiti and the main types found throughout the world. While strolling and viewing the graffiti your guide will discuss the many sides of the graffiti issue and viewpoints of property owners, the police, the City of Toronto, the general public, and the graffiti artists themselves. This tour encourages debate and discussion – it’s more than just looking at painted walls. Even “haters” will agree that much of the art on this tour is incredible! You'll also hear about some of the more notable graffiti writers in Toronto and some of the street artists that mingle with the graffiti purists, sometimes competing for the same space.

Duration: 60 mins
