We booked the Shoreditch Street Art tour for a friend who was visiting from India, who unfotunately pulled out at the last minute (due to the weather being much colder than the Indian climate), meaning we two Londoners were left umming and ahhing over whether we should do it without a tourist present. Then yes, we decided to go for it, and it turned out to be, the right decision in the end.
For us locals, it was enlightening to hear the story behind the scenes of the street art that we pass by (and usually ignore) every day. Those who were visiting and taking the tour seemed to be as impressed as we were, by the tour guide's knowledge. He had left his job, spurred by the financial crisis, in order to make a living from his passion, and it shows.
Be warned, the tour is long, you'll be told at the beginning that the time will fly by, and it really does.
