About Street Masterclass
Learn to navigate cities like a local, from the people who know them best.
Our Mission
At Street Masterclass, we believe that truly experiencing a city means navigating it like a local. Our mission is to bridge the gap between tourists and authentic urban experiences by sharing insider knowledge that typical guidebooks miss.
Founded in 2023 by a group of urban enthusiasts and frequent travelers, Street Masterclass was born from a simple observation: the most memorable travel experiences happen when you venture beyond tourist attractions and understand the subtle, unwritten rules of city life.
We've gathered expert locals from major cities around the world to create comprehensive, practical courses that demystify urban navigation, local customs, transportation systems, and cultural nuances — everything you need to blend in and experience a city authentically.
Our Values

Cultural Respect
We emphasize understanding and respecting local cultures, customs, and etiquette in all our courses.
Practical Learning
We focus on practical skills and knowledge you can immediately apply to enhance your city experience.
