Top Los Angeles Classes & Workshops

Kaitlyn was awesome! We had a blast hearing the history of LA and the stories about individuals with tragic ends. She was knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. Great experience!!

Jay-o is awesome! Makes spray painting easy and fun and he’s such a nice guy. I will definitely be doing this again and bringing more people to experience it! Thank you!🤟🏽😎

It was an overall great experience. I took my son there for his birthday. He’s really into graffiti, and it was a great experience for him. He got to graffiti on a wall and learn new techniques.

A big "Thank You" to our host, Gabriel from Graff Tours. My wife and I were recently part of a planning committee to plan a "mystery" event for a group of 30 very active senior citizens. The individual members of the group paid in advance for a day of fun and entertainment, but had no idea what the activities would be.We stumbled upon Graff Tours while searching the internet for art classes that might be of interest to the group. Our planning problems were quickly solved when graffiti tours and workshops popped-up on our computer screen. Of course, we had concerns as to how a group of upper middle class seniors would react to a workshop on graffiti and street art and a walking tour on a hot August day in Los Angeles.We met with Gabriel to discuss the program and some of the logistics. He was very personable and knowledgeable on the subject matter. We took a short walk in the neighborhood, and he pointed out some of the street art murals and graffiti tags along the way. By the end of our meeting, the planners decided that this was the event for us.On the day of the event, Gabriel began his class by asking the group, "What is the definition of graffiti?" He went on to discuss a wide variety of topics, from the history of the art form to styles, techniques, individual artists, and everything in-between. The participants listened intently, and much to our surprise and relief, they eagerly responded to his questions and comments and were actively engaged for the whole two-hour program. After his classroom-type presentation, he gathered the group for a neighborhood tour of the artwork, and almost all of the participants happily went along. Gabriel steered the group to shady spots wherever possible as he continued, in his easy-going style, to point out and discuss artwork and taggings on buildings and freeway overpasses along the way. The final activity of the day took place back in the studio and involved the attendees participating in a group mural of sorts on the inside wall of the art studio. Gabriel showed the group how to use spray paint and then painted a large outline of the word "MYSTERY" in graffiti style on his freshly painted white wall. The participants were then invited to come up, one at a time, and use the spray paint can to fill in parts of the various letters. When everyone had finished making their entries, Gabriel finished the art project with some expert trimming of his own. Group pictures were then taken in front of our newly-painted masterpiece.The whole event was interesting, entertaining, and lots of fun. The participants had a great time. There were smiling faces throughout the day, and the many comments we received at dinner after we left the facility told us that we had made the right decision to book the event with Graff Tours. Many of the participants were interested to find out how we learned about the activity, and had very nice things to say about their overall experience.

I totally loved that paranormal equipment was part of this tour. We had tons of fun and I did not realize that Janis Joplin died so close to where we were. Our guide was awesome and I would totally do this agin

Tim and Debra were absolutely AMAZING- we had a group of 6 teenagers and they all had a blast! I Highly recommend this adventure for anyone looking for a great way to enjoy the waves!

Great experiments! Our coach was super patient with us and the two hours with her rally flew by, would definitely do it again!

Great experience learning to fly helicopter. Tough gig, but nice challenge and very different activity.

Instructor Ms. Sabina was very friendly and although it was our first time to surf, we really enjoyed to surf since the instructor assisted us to take off and stand on the board.

Mala for Graff provide great insight and guidance for our graffiti debut. Paint control is REALLY difficult but we all succeeded at bubble letters. Our fledgling efforts informed our incredible appreciation of the neighborhood “Pieces” on display in the tour. Really understand and in awe of the mastery on display after barely completing our own artworks. You will come away with knowledge and informed enthusiasm for the vast treasure trove of surrounding Los Angeles street art, really enjoyed our private workshop and tour.

I went with 2 adults and 10 high school age Girl Scouts. Mala was our tour guide, and she was great - friendly, very knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. The walking tour was really interesting and the art was great! The workshop was a lot of fun and hands-on. I highly recommend this for teens and adults. I marked “meeting or pickup” low because it was hard to find. I had to call and was told to park in spots for another business. So, maybe a little more signage. Otherwise, fantastic and more than worth the price!

We received this ghost tour as a gift and it was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Carey, was a gifted storyteller and he kept the experience lively and engaging. This experience was delightfully unexpected and right up there as a true adventure. Highly recommend these tours!

Our tour guide was fantastic! She was so amazing! Great performance! I recommend this tour to anyone.

Beginner’s should go early when the waves are smallest. We had a great time. Aiden was terrific. Good instructor, ask for Aiden! He worked hard to get us up and was easy to be with.

I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area that wants to take a lesson and knows nothing about surfing. The instructor was outstanding with beginners. I learned about how to get up on the board, information about waves and the dangers of them. Although I was unable to surf on my first day, I was very happy with my experience.

My 6 year old saw "exit through the gift shop" with me and it held his interest so I thought this activity would be fun. It did and our instructor Mala was good to show us 3 styles to work on. Of course i kinda sucked at this (lol) but it was fun and really eye-opening for both of us. My kid was into it and mentions this activity everyday since we did it (since we see graffiti everyday lol).
