Amanda was fantastic. Really engaging and made the street art come alive for both my 12 and 10 year old. She made the day fun and was so flexible catering to some tired young legs and happy to stop off for an ice cream break. My son can quickly get bored in galleries but on this tour he was inspired to get his sketch book out, which is rare.  Her enthusiasm for all things art and creative was infectious and has a wealth of knowledge. Would highly recommend the walk!
