5.00Great experience from start to finish! Ali was very communicative and messaged me in advance the day before. The directions he provided to the meeting place were excellent, and we got there without any issues at all. He is very kind and a true artist, explaining the work of graffiti artists in an easy to understand. The work we did with my teenagers was incredible! Highly recommend! You’ll enjoy it for sure. Very different from the rest of the experiences in Istanbul.

5.00The experience was Awesome!! We had a great time learning and creating a unique graffiti wall that was personal to us. It was a totally unique experience for me and my teenagers to enjoy. They brought out creativity and confidence in my kids that I haven't seen before. Not only were the artist amazing but the scheduling coordinator was great also. We were notified of the need to change our reservation due to weather 24+ hours in advance and were allowed to reschedule for a time that worked for us. We felt well taken care of and we made friends in Turkey. Id 100% recommend this unique experience!!
Truly an amazing experience
