Tour Guides

First and foremost, all our Melbourne Street Tour guides are artists. 

On your tour you will discover that this is not your average tour, and your guide is not your average tour guide. Each artist is as real as they come, and passionate about art and what they do. Each guide has a unique spin on street art, and with a wealth of experience to share, you will see the streets from their perspective. All of our tour guides also have current Working With Children Checks and are First Aid qualified.

Akemi is a street artist that has been at it since 2012 when he started in Adelaide. His work is primarily stencil based, but has done some sculptural work, and on the rare occasion, freehand aerosol. There’s a strong Japanese influence moving through my work, and is known for painting Koi fish on the ground. Akemi loves to work show the many facets of street art, and if you’re lucky do some painting on a tour too!
