Graffiti Tour
We finished a graffiti tour in Brooklyn and we really enjoyed the training and what we saw. For those who come to New York it is recommended to take one of the tours that Glasshouse offers.

I Recommend!
Highly recommend the tours of this company. If you are in New York City and are tired of shopping and Times Square, take a tour with Eyal in Brooklyn, Harlem, Manhattan and more. Really interesting, and conveyed in an instructive way.

Educational
The Harlem tour was interesting and the instructor's deep explanations gave me a point of view and understanding that I would not have gotten wandering alone. The gospel was a sweeping start to the tour. I had a lot of fun. Thanks!

Very Professional
We took a tour in Williamsburg with Eyal and another in Harlem with Moran. The tours were professional, personal and knowledgeable. Presented in an interesting way and took us to unique places with artistic vision. Was charming and very much recommended.

Enjoyed it Very Much
We have just finished, a family with 3 children, a graffiti tour in Brooklyn and we wanted to point out that the guide was excellent. He has extensive knowledge of the area and of graffiti art in particular and as a person, he is patient and pleasant. We enjoyed it very much and warmly recommend it!
