Despite the torrential rain we had a really great time learning about the street art around North Street. Lindsey was really knowledgeable and clearly very passionate, and was full of recommendations for other local activities for us to enjoy as well. Thanks so much!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Couldnβt have asked for a better day out
Absolutely loved our walking tour around Bedminster with our guide. Can honestly say I will be looking deeper into the wonderful street art around us. The interactive app for the racing dog with it's 9 layers was amazing how the painting came to life β‘
My 9-year old nephew and I spent a fantastic afternoon on this tour. The guide Lindsey was really friendly and knowledgeable. It was very relaxed and Lindsey was happy to answer all our questions.
Was a class walk around part of the city. Vibrant area with a good buzz and of course lots of fantastic street art! Would highly recommend the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and great fun to have a chat with.
We had a great time. Lindsey was great and very knowledgeable. :)
Interesting street art walk with a friendly and brilliant host.
Brilliant tour, we enjoyed every part of it. Well considered for everyone no matter where theyβre based, us being local it was awesome to see and get to know pieces off the beaten track. Thanks Lynds, see you at the next one!
If you love the art you see around town and want a little deep dive into who, what and where then this the one for you!
It was one of those things that you may take a while or there will be a lot of standing and listening. However, it was quite the opposite. The time went so quickly so that the conversation and elements of learning about the work was constant. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk and so did my friend as she was new to the area. Very insightful, learning a lot regarding the artwork, artist and history of Upfest. Lindsey was very knowledgeable and an excellent host. Thank you all, yuup and Upfest. :)
It was exactly what we hoped for, a fantastic tour around some amazing artworks. Lindsey was a wonderful host, very knowledgable and enthusiastic!
FUN experience. I have lived in Bristol for 5 years and have never seen a grafitti tour advertised until I started using Yuup. I attended with my boyfriend and artist uncle and we had a great time walking the streets of Bedminster exploring areas we would not usually go to, we loved looking at all the art and hearing about the pieces and the artists, it was fun to get out walking and exploring having spent so much time in doors due to COVID over the last couple of years, great for all ages!
We had a fantastic walking tour with Lindsey. She was friendly, knowledgeable, fun and saved us from getting run over. She was also great at including my Mum who is probably a little older than the usual ticket holder. We had a great day. Thank you π
Had a great time, Linsdey was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.
My two boys absolutely loved the morning and would love to do it again. They would have loved longer........
Lindsey was a great tour guide, she was really knowledgeable, easy going and happy to answer any question. I loved getting to know the street art in Bedminster, thanks so much!
Great tour with knowledgable and friendly host - thank you!
Was excellent, our guide was perfect she spoke clearly as bout each piece with passion and wasnβt at all rushed, I would highly recommend
Lindsey did a fabulous job! Not only was I impressed by her knowledge, but how my interested in street art suddenly increased.
My partner and I booked a street art tour with Lindsey. The tour was brilliant in every way. Lindsey gave us lots of information about the artworks and the artists and showed us some of the artworks we couldβve easily missed. Lindsey also recommended exhibitions at Mshed which we went to and loved. The tour was super chilled, and we really enjoyed taking it all in. Back at the Upfest Gallery/shop we were given a pretty cool gift bag. If you visit Bristol make sure to book this tour!Thanks Upfest
Great experience, knowledgeable guide and super interesting!
My tour today with Lindsey was top notch she was really friendly and very informative, the area as so many diverse types of work by top street artist to see , I really recommend this tour to anyone for the experience and local knowledge .
It was really interesting and the host was very knowledgeable.
We had a fantastic time at the upfest tour with our tour guide Lindsey . She went above and beyond accommodating and making us feel welcome on the tour . She had a lot of interesting knowledge on the artworks and make it a super fun experience. Would highly recommend taking this tour with Lindsey. 10/10
Lindsay was a great host. I saw so much that I had never noticed.
Really enjoyable experience with a friendly and enthusiastic host! Even living in Bristol it was nice to spend some time being guided around the art and talking about. Made me want to go and look for more and also canβt wait to see what new creations appear at the next Upfest!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Bedminster, visiting parts I didnβt know existed having lived in Bristol for 40 years! Our Guide was excellent, she obviously loves her job and I have already recommended the walk to several of my friends. I will be looking out for the 2 new murals on my next visit to Weston.
My daughter and I really enjoyed the Upfest stories and street art walk! Our host was fun and insightful. The artwork was amazing and we both loved the goodie back and shop. Thank you!
Lindsey our guide was great - very relaxed tour, with good knowledge of the artists. The more you look for street art in Bristol, the more you find. Some of it completely hidden until it's pointed out! Thanks again.
Awesome tour with fantastic tour guide - Alison. I won't around Bristol in the same way again. Great stuff.
Great tour with Lindsay, thank you! Very informative and the pace was perfect. Would recommend :)
Great insight and introduction into UPFEST - only scratched the surface so Iβll be back using the map. Guide gave great background insight into artists and history of Upfest.
Linzi was really a great host with lots of interesting facts about the artists.
Lindsey was very friendly and knowledgeable. She used some of her personal experiences to make the tour exciting and interesting
Lindsey was a lively and engaging host and we enjoyed the experience immensely. When I clicked 'too short' it isn't because we felt short changed but because we could have kept going!! Fabulous event. Thank you. :)
Really enjoyable experience. Lindsey was a relaxed and informal tour guide, and passionate and informed about the subject. The street art was fabulous. Would fully recommend.
Lyndsey was a great guide ,very informative, and she showed us some street art in the side streets that we would not have discovered on our own. She was also able to give us some background to some of the artists as well ,which I found very interesting.
There is a lot more street art at the other end of North Street that did not get covered in the walk, I would have liked the walk to last longer so some of this could have been covered as well.
Such an informative tour of the area, having lived there for a good while and not knowing the origin or fully appreciating all of the hard work that goes into UpFest. An excellent tour, I now feel more attached to Bemmie than ever!
Excellent tour. Amazing art work. Definitely recommend
Great tour, Deirdre was great and knowledgeable. Might be an idea to start at the shop and suggest clients go a little earlier if they wish to browse as sadly the shop was shut by the end and we missed out on a potential goody bag and may even have purchased a print or some art as a souvenir.
Dee was a fabulous tour guide. Supremely knowledgeable, funny and friendly. The art was phenomenal too.. great experience overall :)
Dee is an amazing host and she clearly loves what she does. The experience was lovely because of her and she went overboard to please me by showing me around in town. Thanks so much highly recommended if you want to be filled with creativity and lovely company! Antigone
Great tour of the wonderful artworks around North Street.
Dee was an excellent guide: gave lots of information about Upfest, history of street art in Bristol, the artists and the artworks themselves. She tweaked the route so we could see a couple of pieces that were being worked on while we were there and had 3d glasses to fully appreciate Insane51's art.
Happy to answer our questions and very helpful at giving directions on where to see other fabulous pieces elsewhere in Bristol.
This was a perfect start to my few days in Bristol Graffiti hunting. Dee was very knowledgeable and showed us some great pieces of Street Art. Dee also provided us with a lot of information on places to visit in the area and recommendations for further locations.
Had an absolutely amazing tour. Dee was super friendly and was extremely knowledgeable about the artists and history behind the art (apologises to Dee as we asked far too many questions!!).
Would highly recommend this either if you are visiting Bristol or like ourselves, local to the area and pass this art on a daily basis but wanted to know more about it.
Deirdre our host was very friendly and her enthusiasm and interest in street art shone through. She had chosen a range of works for us to view and was able to tell us about the artists, their backgrounds and their involvement in street art from the past. Very informative and interesting tour. Followed up with texts with suggestions for galleries and other tours which was much appreciated.
Dee was wonderful guide we really enjoyed strongly recommend itβs worth every penny. I would recommend to my friends in Sarajevo and London.
A really well informed host in Dee, she really knew her stuff! A really interesting tour, well worth the time and the money.
Host was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and the Upfest goodie bags were brilliant. Loved it and will definitely recommend to others.
Amazing location, very friendly and knowledgeable guide, nice history of graffiti and lots of great details about the art and artists. I really enjoyed it! And I unexpectedly got a goody bag at the end :)
We thought we knew about street art in Bristol, but Dee showed us some absolute gems we wouldn't have known about. She was knowledgeable, informative, fun and inspiring, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!
Designated stopping points are been pre-planned to give space to guests and members of the public.
The experience will go ahead rain or shine, so please wear comfortable clothing and dress for the weather, this is Bristol after all!

Upfest was originally dreamt up to bring 20 like minded artists together for a day of painting in Bristol. Today, the Upfest organisation hosts Europe's largest street art and graffiti festival, right here in our city. Since 2008 everything from smaller pieces to large scale murals have been painted throughout Bedminster as part of their annual Upfest festival, and each year thousands of visitors walk the streets here to see these masterpieces. The Upfest Gallery on North Street shares year round exhibitions from some of the 2000+ artists who've created pieces for the festival.
Lindsey is a serious street art fan and has been visiting Upfest since the original 2008 event. She has a real passion for the scene and is happy to share any knowledge she has.
Lindsey is an experienced photographer.
A true passion of Lindseyβs is exploring and capturing the urban world. One of the main reasons she upped roots and moved to Bristol was to explore the graffiti and the art that decorates the streets. From profiles on people living in urban spaces to capturing the streets and surroundings, Lindsey has an eye for detail and hunting out even the most hidden gems.
