One of the highlights of our trip, this was a brilliant tour exploring the neighbourhood of Bushwick and learning all about the culture and history as well as the street art itself. Our guide Ricky was hugely knowledgeable and made the tour really fun, keeping our teenage boys engaged throughout. Would highly recommend!
