For over ten years, Stencil Archive has been providing tours to tourists, locals, serious fans, and the curious of all ages and nationalities (read how I began giving tours, with years of reviews, here). The most popular tour is in San Francisco's Mission District, but tours in the Tenderloin/SoMa area and Downtown/Uptown Oakland are also available. Tours can last up to three hours for two to ten people. Prices and timeframes are flexible but usually amount to $40 per person. Please contact us for any inquiries.
