About

Over the years, the Dundas West area has transformed into the city's premier urban art corridor. Through the creation of municipal and non-profit organizations, private sponsors and much more guerrilla art, this sector has become a leader in Toronto's urban art scene.

Our Toronto Street Art and Graffiti Tour covers local and international artists. The creations vary from small hidden installations that your guide will point out to massive works on 6 floors. We learn about the techniques, the meaning of the creations and about the talented artists.

We will see different styles from wheat pastes, yarn bombing, sticker art to more classic and commonly used painting techniques in the district. It’s a zigzag walk through the streets and alleys with a knowledgeable local street artist and guide.

The neighborhood is an outdoor art gallery that you can continue to explore on your own, with our list of recommendations for the best restaurants, bars and galleries in Toronto on hand.

What to bring

Bring water in the summer, it gets HOT. In the winter dress like a Canadian and not like a chump, seriously. Bring cash for tips. We end not too far from the starting point and can help you with directions.
