Best of · STREET ART
The good street art tuk tuk tours fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride through Lisbon’s Marvila district with a private guide such as Tiago, Mario, Frederico, or Raquel. See about 15 large murals by Portuguese and international artists, then connect the art to old convents, palaces, worker villages, industrial buildings, and Tejo views.
“Tiago is an outstanding guide who know all about the street murals. What a fun day. He made us laugh a lot!”
Ride through Lisbon with a private driver-guide, looking for murals and urban art around LX Factory, Alfama, Graça, Castelo, and Bairro Alto. Guides such as Marco, Romuald, Katia, Bruno, and Eugenio bring local history and artist stories to the route. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included at selected central hotels.
“Merci beaucoup à Katia qui a été une guide en or, intarissable sur Lisbonne, elle nous a permis de découvrir cette magnifique ville en mêlant histoire et street art. La visite a été très agréable, elle nous a donné envie d'y revenir. 😍”
Start with hotel pickup, a guided walk through Boeng Keng Kang Market, and two Cambodian breakfasts with snacks. Then ride by tuk tuk to more than 20 murals, hear their social stories, and finish with a culinary surprise. English and French guides, including JB, Jackson, and Monyca, are available.
“I had an excellent morning exploring some roads (and markets) less travelled around Phnom Penh with Monyca. She was well-versed in the stories behind the art and the places we visited. Monyca was a great conversation partner as well. The market we went to (BKK market) is not well known to tourists and is quiet in the morning so it’s a great way to try Cambodian treats without the crowds. The breakfast stops were great and the food is adjusted to your dietary needs. There’s also a sweet little surprise stop at the tail end of the tour!”
Ride through Lisbon with a private guide such as David, Andre, Susana, Tiago, or Rumi Miguel, stopping for major works by Vhils, Bordalo II, Shepard Fairey, and local artists. Expect narrow streets, hilltop views, artist background, and an itinerary that can be adjusted to your interests.
“Took us to all the street art places. Explained the history and gave us good background of street art. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Took us to very rarely visited places. Rumi Miguel is an artist himself. The tour was excellent.”
Ride by tuk-tuk with guides such as Kim, Mon, Khim, or Sok through Phnom Penh’s markets and street-art areas. Taste noodle soup, pork rice, coffee, doughnuts, desserts, and Banh Chaev, while learning how Khmer food and local art connect to daily life.
“I had a great tour and felt like I learned a lot about Cambodia! I booked at the last minute and ended up being the only person on the tour! I appreciate that they still decided to go ahead with the tour and I would highly recommend anyone looking for something interesting to do book this tour!”
Join Thai Tour Guide at 7 pm for a two-hour tuk tuk loop through Bangkok’s Old City. You’ll see the City Pillar, Giant Swing, Golden Mount views, Talat Noi’s Chinese quarter, night food streets, and Pak Klong Talad flower market. Groups are limited to 10.
“We had an amazing experience with Ms Nutty. She was soooo accommodating as changed the time and schedule to suit our needs. We saw amazing sights and tasted delicious food we would not have otherwise tasted (or known existed). Ms Nutty was very knowledgeable and also made us laugh. I highly recommend!!! We won’t forget this tour”
Join an English-speaking guide such as Nutty or Noah for a two-hour evening tuk-tuk ride through Bangkok’s Old City. You’ll stop for photos at temples and monuments, pass Talat Noi and Pak Khlong Talat, and taste local food in Chinatown.
“Family of five (3 teenagers) had the best and most informative time with Ms Nutty. We saw and did so many things we wouldn’t have known about without a guide. Perfect time of day as cooler and less crowded. The kids were entertained as well. We really felt amongst it all. Highly recommend this tour and Ms Nutty.”
