Danilo was extremely nice, warm, professional, knowledgeable and patient. We really appreciated how he taught us the basics step by step, was very attentive to our questions and explained well. We learned a lot and more importantly had a lot of fun! A great experience overall

Danilo’s street art and graffiti experience was a highlight of our trip to Paris. Danilo is passionate about street art and education and I hope he will be able to realize his dream of creating an education program one day! Danilo is warm and personable and was great about communicating with me before our trip. He gave us a great introduction and being able to spray paint our designs on a wall was a unique experience. The whole family had a great time and it got the best review of any of our activities from my 11 year old son: “that was so fun - Danilo is cool and he gets humor”Wonderful family friendly activity

This was such a great experience for my family. My teenagers are both very artistic so this was the perfect thing to do with them. It was a surprise, and when I told them what we were doing their faces were priceless. Danilo was very friendly and encouraging as we worked on our designs. He is an experienced teacher, he has a method, and it works! We had a great time with Danilo. Awesome Experience

Danillo is the best! He was great with all of us and very patient & insisted on letting our finish his artwork because he was taking a long time. He stayed with us at the end, and walked way out of his way because the Ubers had been cancelling on people and he would not let us fend for ourselves. He's a Very Special Guy!!He's AMAZING!!!

Danilo was AMAZING! He was so informative, nice and patient. We traveled with our kids and he kept their attention. This experience goes down as one of the BEST parts of our trip. I highly highly recommend this to anyone!!!One of a kind experience!

Danilo helped plan my sister and her new hubby’s honeymoon experience while they visited Paris. He helped me coordinate everything while I was back home in Canada. As a result, he was just so responsive, thoughtful and patient with helping us plan the surprise and thinking about the little details to make their street art/spray paint experience extra special. It was such a pleasure to work with him. Thanks so much again, Danilo!! Thoughtful from beginning to end

We had a great time just doing something different! Not being very skilled at drawing, we still managed to get a nice graffiti on a Parisian wall! And this was thanks to Danilo’s patience and teaching skills 😀 It was so nice discovering a part of Paris we’ve never seen! Thanks a lot!We left our mark in Paris. So much fun!

My time spent with Danilo was delightful! I had the opportunity to participate in the street art experience where he expertly walked me through the steps to create my own work on paper and then translate that process using spray paint on a public wall. Throughout he was organized, patient, and encouraging, all while teaching about aspects of street art history and the culture of Paris. I was able to produce a piece I was proud of and gain more appreciation and understanding for this art form! Upon hearing about my interests in dance and music over authentic Italian food, Danilo efficiently planned out an evening catered toward my preferences of blues, jazz, funk, and dance. He introduced me to a formal funk performance in a "cave", a jam session where he joined in on stage playing his saxophone, and a Brazilian club where he led me in dancing forro. To end this incredible night we chatted over craft cocktails in a hidden speakeasy that played blues music. All the venues were within walking distance and not overly crowded (as COVID was a concern for me). As a solo female traveler, it felt like a night out with a good friend, and Danilo made sure I made it safely back to my lodging. I would highly recommend Danilo for his knowledge of entertainment and music venues in the area, ability to speak several languages, and his talent for creating personalized experiences that give visitors a glimpse into the local scene. I will be taking some fantastic memories home with me!Memorable Experiences in Paris!

Together with my 10-year old son, I went a few days to Paris and joined a private street art workshop with Danilo. It was absolutely great and we would highly recommend it. Danilo took all the time for my son, explained about the street art background, helped with sketching on paper and kept a good structure during the workshop. It was very motivating and constructive. Danilo helped us creating a wonderfull piece of street art. Thank you so much Danilo for making this happen! What a great experience!

Mit Danilo hatten wir ein echtes und wirklich tolles Erlebnis. Sein Workshop war lehrreich und kurzweilig, die Informationen und Anregungen sehr hilfreich und dann durften wir noch in einem echten Graffitispot eine Wand sprühen. Wer etwas außerhalb der Massen sucht und Spaß am kreativen Tun hat, sollte sich diesen Workshop nicht entgehen lassen!Toller Tag mit ungewöhnlichen Eindrücken

I have never tried this before and wanted to learn more about the positive impact of street art and have a go myself at creating something. Danilo was very knowledgeable, he has been on the scene for many years, took his time explaining the history, going through the exercises and helped me bring my own creation to life. Danilo provided everything, well equipped, def recommend this as an experience everyone should tryStreet Art Intro

We loved graffitti with Danilo! The communication was super smooth and Danilo was very accommodating. He is generous and kind and is very good with kids. He explained about the history of graffitti, about the technique and he guided us through the process. It was the best thing we did in Paris!A really cool experience

Claudia🇩🇪 Germany

Danilo est super génial. Il a fait beaucoup d'efforts pour que notre fille ne soit pas seule dans l'atelier et l'a 'intégrée' dans un autre groupe. Paulina s'est beaucoup amusée, a beaucoup appris en peu de temps et a fait un super graffiti sur le mur. Danilo a toujours été là pour la conseiller. À recommander absolument - surtout pour les adolescents. Qui a déjà un graffiti à Paris ?!Super genial

Had a great time with Danilo! He is very kind, patient and an extremely talented artist. We learned so much about street art! If you are looking for a wonderful day out and a unique way to leave your mark on Paris this is it! Danilo spent time helping two non artistic people to create a memory we will never forget! Thanks Danilo!!!!!! Unique experience, a must do in Paris!

Danilo was very communicative, flexible, gracious, and FUN!!! We are not artists, but wanted an active adventure that would be fun for us and our thirteen year old while in Paris. We also wanted something outside the typical tourist attractions. We got it!! Danilo educated us about street art, and helped us create something fun and better than we thought we were capable of:) This was the highlight of our trip! He even took pics and videos of us spray painting our street art so we have lifelong souvenirs. Thank you Danilo!!!!👍👍👍😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏 Great Paris Experience with Danilo!

It was absolutely amazing! I had the best time, so much fun to create graffiti art in Paris. Danilo was very knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. He took the time to explain everything and to help me create a design. With design in hand we went to a graffiti wall under a bridge. It was sooooo much fun to work with the spray paint and to see your graffiti develop. I would highly recommend Danilo and give yourself this gift of a new and wonderful experience! Absolutely Wonderful

The street art afternoon with Danilo was great fun, myself and my wife were a little nervous to start with but Danilo put us at ease. He left us to developing the design an dcompleting the street art which meant at the end of the session we really felt we had accomplished something. Great FunDanilo Street Art

Danilo is a talented artist and musician and a fantastic guide for our first attempt at graffiti. He gave us background information about street art, spent time making sure we understood how to translate our ideas from paper to the wall we eventually painted and made sure that we got the best possible results. We booked Danilo as a family with three children - 10, 13 & 15 yrs and I think this or older is about the right age group to get the most out of the experience. Highly recommended.Brings out the artist in you!

We spent 3 hours with Danilo learning about Street Art and spraying our own piece of art on a wall under a bridge on the outskirts of Paris. It was a truly fascinating experience. Danilo is enthusiastic, great with the kids and very friendly. Thanks Danilo, we really enjoyed it!Awesome Street Art

Danilo is an absolutely fabulous teacher. I did not know a single thing about street art before the workshop but, Danilo helped me have a very enjoyable time and a rather interesting output. Wish I could post some pics here. This experience was surely a highlight of my vacation. Amazing Experience

I had a great day spent with Danilo, made a new friend in Paris. He shared his passion for graffiti and music. What I liked the most was how he started by walking me through the history of graffiti, and was happy to share his own story of how he developed his own graffiti skill set. It felt like a casual hangout and I learnt a lot about the basics of graffiti sketching and how to think like an artist. He answered all my questions and was very understanding. The spray cans, mask, gloves and all protection clothing was provided. Drawing on the walls of Paris felt refreshing and new. He was very encouraging and gave me the space to make it my own work of art with a few tips here and there on how to make it better. Truly recommend this workshop, especially if you’re into grafftit.Creative & Fun

My college age daughter wanted to do the tour...me not so much, however, I am sooooooo glad we did it. I did not expect this tour to be my favorite thing we did in Paris and that is because he did everything to help me be successful. He’s a great teacher, very interesting to talk to. His English is exceptional. And he truly cares about you. So, so so much fun!!!!Danilo is the best!

I am an art teacher and wanted to learn about graffiti from a graffiti artist. My husband was just along for the ride and was surprised that he enjoyed it as much as I did. Danilo is a kind and patient tutor and had gloves, mask and a jumper for protection. He explained how to create letter styles and we planned everything before going outside to mKe our tags. It was much harder than expected! We had a great time and recommend this experience to anyone that likes to get out of their comfort zone and see a side of Paris that tourists never see! A unique experience

This was a highlight of my trip to Paris. Definitely a memorable experience. Danilo is such a cool guy, very knowledgeable and is a great teacher! He went above and beyond to accommodate my tour and experience, even recommending some musical entertainment options around the city...which were great! Street art is a way to beautify the streets and Danilo shows you that. So glad I booked this gig! So so fun! Merci beaucoup Danilo!Educational and Fun!

Highly recommend everyone new in Paris to try! The best experience in my trip ever. Image you left your name as a graffiti artwork on the wall of the city of romance. Danilo is very nice, friendly, and a good teacher. You may be benefited for your lifetime from the techniques he taught if you are interested in street art. Will come back to Beijing and try it. And definitely come back again to try his Advanced workshop hahaHighly recommend everyone new in Paris to try!

If you’re trying to decide whether to book, don’t hesitate— definitely do this awesome, unique Paris experience! You will see a lot, learn a lot, meet great people, experience something new and create something original. Danilo is a fantastic, talented artist and teacher, and a very friendly, gracious and charming person. We had the pleasure of working with him to commemorate our holiday visit in Paris, and he gave us a tutorial on graffiti style, a tour of graffiti art and plenty of space and advice/assistance to create our own graffiti and street art in the middle of Paris! There were two of us with very different art skill levels: but Danilo is a great teacher, patient and attentive, and can deal with all skill levels — so we both learned a lot and got a lot out of it. It was an experience that we’ll always remember. We’d recommend Danilo’s classes and tours to anyone, and absolutely would work with him again! Fantastic, talented artist and teacher!

Danilo is a really passionate and engaging teacher. He immediately gelled the group and guided us through our own designs, always encouraging and helpful. Going outside to try using spray paint for the first time was a lot of fun and definitely a unique experience, and I got to see a part of Paris I would never have seen otherwise. Would highly recommend.Would highly recommend!

DOPE Workshop! Danilo is in top shape an amazing & amicable teacher - he conveyed his knowlege with great ease and simplicity. The workshop is for all levels - not to worry about stepping into the unknown - just go with the flow & you'll end the day with a sense of achievement and amazement at what you've accomplished, plus you'll leave an art trace in Paris! Best case scenario, you'll leave taking up Graffiti and would be already looking forward to your next time.. We were in Paris for the weekend (Vittoria, Laura, Aurelie & me Jenni) all agreed that it was one of the major highlights of the Holidays! Danilo - on behalf of the Girls - Thanks a million for the Awe-inspiring experience! Thanks a million for the Awe-inspiring experience!

Danilo has curated a truly unique and memorable experience. We met with him, ready for street art action at a local "wework" type cafe where Danilo provided a brief albeit effective tutorial on creating our own respective tags. After we each developed our own piece on paper before grabbing spray cans, we finished up our food & coffee and went on a short walk. Five minutes later we found ourselves at an unassuming warehouse we would have otherwise dismissed. This location turned out to be an obvious international destination for serious street artists. Our lesson continued with replicating our drafted piece with spray paint on a section of wall clearly saved for the novice. We felt encouraged and carefree about making mistakes and learning how to correct them. At the end of the experience, we were authorized access to view and absorb the live mural making going on by talented spray painting artists who were reshaping what we thought was possible with graffiti before our eyes. We opted into the 5€ entry fee of the streetart museum inside the warehouse. Saved pieces ranging from Shepard Fairy & Banksy to more senior taggers such as JR and Taki 183 were all on display. This unexpected highlight of the trip to Paris wouldn't have been possible without Danilo's local expertise and affinity for sharing his love of street art with like-minded travelers. Highly recommended. Highly recommended!!!

The workshop was a unique experience. Dani was brilliant and managed to get the artists within out on the walls. Seeing your sketches turn to life was memorable. Plus it was a side of Paris we’ve never explored before. Would definitely do it again! The workshop was a unique experience!

Laura

This was a very rewarding experience: fun, easygoing, informative and hands-on, Danilo’s teaching efforts managed to put us all at ease and to push us out of our comfort zone and into an inclusive and challenging performance. I think I learned a lot about myself during this class, but I also had lots of fun with my friends and got to meet new and interesting people. Will definitely do it again when I swing by Paris in the future.Will definitely do it again when I swing by Paris in the future.

This is an amazing, excellent, vibrant, and very fun experience. Danilo is an excellent instructor who will take you through step by step on how to create a work of street art. I participated with my two kids, ages 11 and 13. They loved it as much as I did! Danilo has a passion for what he does and that is combined with his ability to teach. A rare combination! He is an excellent communicator before the experience as well. I found this to be one of the highlights of our time in Paris. This is an amazing, excellent, vibrant, and very fun experience!
