“Had an amazing tour with our guide and street artist Stefan! He could tell us everything about street art culture to interesting history facts about Paris. We just arrived in Paris that day and it was a great way to start our trip. After the tour we recognised a lot of street art during our walks in Paris which made us feel a bit more at home in the city! We definitely recommend taking this tour if you like art and culture.”

4.Street Art Open-Air Museum Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 51 reviews · 3h 30m · from $54

Ride from Hôtel de Ville to ZAC Paris 13, Paris’s modern street-art district, with an English-speaking guide. Photograph giant murals by artists such as Tristan Eaton, Invader, Shepard Fairey, and Hush, then stop for coffee at Station F. Bikes and ponchos are supplied, but food and drinks cost extra.

“Helaas was het slecht weer, veel regen tijdens de tour dus dat beïnvloedt de beleving wel, maar wij vonden de tour leuk en goed begeleid door de gids. Ik moet wel zeggen dat de street art in Parijs ons een beetje tegenviel omdat er veel "toegestane" art is, in tegenstelling tot bv Berlijn waar meer illegale art is waardoor er meer verhaal en geschiedenis aan vast zit.”
