"Incredible experience"November 2024 I had a personal tour from Patricia Rose and it was an incredible experience! I highly recommend taking this tour. It was awe-inspiring! --Heather Woodsum, Google
"Beautiful murals in the Mission District" Jul 2023 Excellent tour of the murals in the Mission District. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the murals and even participated in their creation. These murals document joyous occasions as well as the human and political struggle of Mesoamerican and international immigrants. This tour is highly recommended if you would like the background story of the murals in the Mission, many commissioned by the Presida Eyes community non-profit organization. —Mima D, Trip Advisor
"So interesting and genuine" Sep 2019 We attended the Sunday afternoon mural tour with Patricia. She was a wonderful guide and has a genuine love for the diverse community in the mission area. She gave a wonderful and interesting tour of the murals and she showed how a community can come together through art to create a positive influence on the area they live in. It showed an interesting side to San Francisco and I would highly recommend this tour. —Susan D., Trip Advisor
"The art here is fantastic" Nov 2023 My girlfriend and the mother of my child worked on a mural with these guys some years back so I thought it would be an interesting place to familiarize myself with and bring my family and daughter to. I'm pleased to say that I was correct. The art here is fantastic and brought a whole new perspective of SF artists and their contributions to the city. They also have some really interesting paints, local art for sale, and mural projects that you can sign up for. They even have a little studio in the back. It's a little pricey but well worth it if you're looking to support your local artists. This is also an interesting spot for postcards. Postcards are kind of scarce in the city so I like to make sure and point out places that have them. I didn't get a chance to talk to any of the workers or artists that were working in the back but all in all the atmosphere was welcoming and warm; a true testament to SF artwork and the mission district. --Joshua Donohoe, Google review
"Love this!" Oct. 2022 I couldn't tell you which murals have been sponsored by Precita Eyes and which haven't, but I can tell you the Calle 24 cultural district, the Mission neighborhood that gravitates around 24th Street, would be a lot bleaker without them, whether it's the politically driven messages of the murals on Clarion Alley or the rich cultural images on Balmy Alley...and frankly everywhere else. This shop reflects the central location for the Precita Arts Muralists Association which is responsible for over a hundred of them. It's quite conspicuous by the artistic spillover of mosaic tiles onto the sidewalk. Founded by Susan and Luis Cervantes, the organization just celebrated its 45th anniversary, which provides a good excuse for a visit to get educated on all the colorful murals that have resulted from their tutelage. The staff here organizes walking tours, offers classes for aspiring muralists, and sell prints and postcards of the most popular murals to the rest of us. You should check it out if just to be exposed to all the colorful mural art all at once. --Ed U., Yelp review

I so appreciate what Precita Eyes does in The community. Great walking tour down Balmy Alley, around Garfield Park and a nearby school. We've been on a couple of tours and especially enjoyed the ones led by Jorge. Highly recommend for locals and tourists alike. --Ottis M.,Yelp review
"Five stars"Dec 2006 Five stars to this organization for making our community more beautiful. The murals at the Alemany Farmers market were a community project organized by Precita Eyes. Respect. --Kelly S.
