Urbex Tours I’ve attended
Urbex tours are the best way to explore a lost place legally. Since I’ve started urban exploration, I’ve attended more than a dozen legal urban epxloration tours.

On this page you’ll find a curated selection of photos I took during urbex tours I’ve attended. It’s one photo per tour. Each photo is linked with the corresponding blog post with more photos and a link to the specific urbex tour I attended.
Please note that things change. Some tours I’ve listed here may not be available anymore.
Urban exploration (“Urbex”) is legal if you have the permission of the property owner to enter the property and to take photos and publish them. The easiest way for legal urban exploration is to book one of the many urbex tours. These tours are either completely guided (rarely) or you’ll get a brief introduction and are free to explore the lost place on your own. I’ve also attended tours that are partially guided and also allow you to explore the place on your own for an hour or two.
Please note that I’ve been to a number of lost places where I’ve obtained a private permit. These are not included in the list, and I won’t share the contact details because the contract does not allow me to do so.
Here are some more answers to frequently asked questions about urbex tours I get.
-
That depends on the location. I’ve been on urbex tours that were just two hours long and tours that lasted for 12 hours.
-
Usually that depends on the size of the location. Typically these tours cost between 50 and 100 USD without transportation. If transportation is required, the cost can increase to several hundred USD.
-
Yes, most likely. That’s why you usually need to sign paperwork that you’re accessing the property at your own risk. That applies even to completely guides tours.
