Art as social commentary

Janet_M, Apr 2023

I loved the connections between local history and the development of street art in Phoenix. The guide is very knowledgeable about both topics

Response from Host, May 2023

So true--street art definitely tells a story. Thanks for your thoughtful understanding of its role and also for your kind review!

Great experience. Our guide Laurie Ann was excellent ( not sure I spelled her naMe correctly).

Robert_M, Apr 2023

Our guide was great. The area was interesting, and the murals were amazing. We went on a Saturday morning and the area was active.

Response from Host, May 2023

You're kind! Thanks for including how active Saturdays are. People often like to go where there is a lot going on.

Don’t miss this experience!

Katie_W, Apr 2023

The art, the neighborhood, the history and the stories! Lori Ann brings it all to life. Such a memorable experience. Not to be missed on a trip to Phoenix/Scottsdale

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for the plug! So glad you liked it!

Interesting tour, fun area

Faith_R, Mar 2023

We were given tickets to this tour for Christmas and it was a fantastic experience. The walk was easy and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the art and the area. We had to leave immediately after the tour but the area seemed to have a lot of good restaurants to go to.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to share a thoughtful review. I am so glad you had a great time! Restaurants--yes--Thai, French and of course Tacos!!! Come back and try them next time!

Fantastic Tour

Abigail_B, Mar 2023

This walking tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Phoenix. Our guide, Lori Ann, provided us with the history and evolution of this art form and had so many interesting stories to share about the artists and art that we were viewing. Even our 15 year old daughter was thoroughly engrossed (that says a lot!). I highly recommend this tour when you visit Phoenix!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

So glad you loved it! A lot of the artists where in that transition stage where they were going from taggers to artists around the age of 15-16--maybe that's what got her. Thanks for the review! Hope to see you again!

Highly Recommend

Beth_W, Feb 2023

Great tour! Lori Ann , our guide, was terrific—informative, friendly, and receptive to questions from our group that ranged in age from teenagers to seniors. Great passion to promote and support area artists.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

I am so glad you enjoyed the tour--the artists and what we do. I appreciate you mentioning the wide range of people that enjoy the tour. Your thoughtfulness is really appreciated.

Entertaining And Fun Tour!

Nadine_R, Feb 2023

Unfortunately it was raining and cold during our tour, but we made the best of it! Lori Ann was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. It was interesting to see and hear how tagging differs from painting, and what has taken place to allow the gangs and the artists to work together. I would definitely recommend this tour when it’s not raining. Lol

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Wish I could change the weather for you--but glad you were able to enjoy the tour anyway! Thanks for your recommendation!

Great tiur

Janine_R, Feb 2023

Fun, with a wonderfully knowledgeable guide! This is a great cultural tour. Every visitor should take it.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Sweet thoughts. Thank you so much!

Fantastic, Refreshing & Different!

Sandra_W, Jan 2023

Such a wonderful afternoon exploring the streets of Phoenix and taking in its amazing vibe via Roro's vibrant art scene. My girls and I loved every minute!!! Our tour guide shared so many details with us, and we got to experience the streets through a completely different lens. This tour was worth every penny. If you're on the fence, stop, get off of it and get out there! Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

This makes me so happy to hear this! I am so glad you and your girls enjoyed the afternoon and got a taste of our art scene! Thanks for taking to time for such a thoughtful review!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks Kathryn!!!! I didn't know it had to be a particular length. I totally accept the compliment. Thanks so much! Great to have you on the tour!

Exceptional Street Art Tour

MaryJane_K, Jan 2023

This Roro Street Art Tour was exceptional! Our guide was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and informative. We learned so much about what makes Phoenix tick and that which expresses the heart, soul, and artistic relevance of the current community and how it got there. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves people of all persuasions and art.

Thank you!

MELISSA_B, Jan 2023

Thank you Lori for a great tour. Your knowledge about the area and artists was informative. It was fun to see that part of Phoenix and I have already recommended the tour to others.

Great Art Tour in Phoenix

Elliott_B, Nov 2022

WOW!!! what an incredible experience. Lorianne (not sure if I spelled her name right) was an incredible guide and took us through part of Phoenix that was bursting with different types of art. We saw and learned to appreciate and distinguish graffiti, street art, and murals. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the various artists and the culture of Street Art in Phoenix. Probably the best tour we took during this visit,and would probably do it again.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

So glad you enjoyed the tour and thanks so much for the review. I would love it if you came again. Things are always changing so I can almost guarantee you would see something new. I look forward to seeing you again!

Ya gotta do it..!

Robert_A, Nov 2022

The tour was fabulous, very informative & not rushing in anyway. Perfect for lovers of art, counter culture & just to soak in the Phoenix vibe. I would imagine this would also be the ultimate tour for all snowflakes needing to share various photos of themselves with the entire world for reasons which are beyond me. Loved it & didn’t have to produce my driving license once. Many thanks

Worthwhile tour!

Tanja_F, Nov 2022

Very informative and interesting tour. Went at a great pace, not rushed. Would definitely recommend it!

Worth Your Time--RoRo Street Art Tour

Kimberly_G, Nov 2022

I enjoyed the background information about the artists and the area. Our guide gave us an inside look at how the area has changed from a graffiti filled area to the thriving art scene as it is today.

Beautiful art

joy_p, Oct 2022

So much beauty in the art! I loved seeing Phoenix through the eyes of the artist! I wish I would have done this tour when I first arrived! We stopped at some neat places to eat or see!!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks so much for your review and the comment about doing this early in your visit. That's a great idea! Thanks for joining us!

Great Tour!

Trevor_G, Oct 2022

Teirani_R, Aug 2022

The RoRo Street Art tour was soooo worth the trip! Today was the first tour of the season and I got the tour guide all to myself! We were able to talk in detail about the artists and I could stay at any mural as long as I wanted to. Lori Ann had so much great knowledge about the artists and the meanings behind the murals. This is a must do in Phoenix to really appreciate the city ❤️ I'm so inspired! I can't wait to get home and paint!!
