The Hidden Graffiti & Urban Art Tour is a strictly off the beaten path tour that takes you pedaling through the hidden southern neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, La Boca and Barracas, to find the city’s most impressive street art. Far more than strictly urban art, you will learn the difference between tagging, bombing, pieces and murals within the surrounding vibrant neighborhoods, contextualizing it with historical and cultural background.
You will learn about the context, and historical background that led to Buenos Aires becoming one of the world capitals of street art. You will see one of the world’s largest murals painted by a single artist, a trait that once won it a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. *(Please note that this tour requires you to be confident cycling in urban settings; it is far off the beaten path and NOT in touristy areas, and in some cases may approach precarious parts of the city).

If you want a tour that brings you excitement, knowledge and friendship look no further!
We had an amazing time yesterday with Martin and Dani from biking Buenos Aires. We took the hidden graffiti and urban art tour in the afternoon and let me tell you, it was a real treat :)
Beyond the tour being informative, you could tell the guides were themselves very passionate about “porteño” urban art. They took us to all the must-see spots but also to gorgeous places known only by some locals. They always had extra fun facts about art but also about the history of the city and didn’t let us leave without recommendations for what to do next.
The bikes we used were made of bamboo which gives extra flexibility to deal with the Buenos Aires cobblestones and makes them extra comfortable and easy to manoeuvre.
All in all it felt like spending a day with old friends, next time we’re in Buenos Aires we will definitely take a tour with them up again!

The BEST tour I could have hoped for. Martin was beyond knowledgeable and utterly personable. I learned far more than I expected about graffiti and muralism and would never have been able to see these places on my own. Not only was the art fantastic, but I can't compliment Martin enough. Just brilliant

The Hidden Graffiti tour was incredible. I really enjoyed getting to know the city another way.
The murals were incredible and Patricio was an amazing guide.
My other highlights include sharing empanadas and mate.

We did this tour on our first day in Buenos Aires and not only was it a great way to see this art but it was also a fantastic introduction to the city. Patricio was an amazing guide both as far as showing and explaining the art as well as safely leading us throughout parts of the city we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. Lunch was delicious and the guides really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our tour.

Thanks for all the great service and showing me BA from another point of view. We explored different corners of the city that are very difficult to get to without this tour and got to see some stunning murals.

Excellent exploration of Barracas and La Boca with truly unusual graffiti. The guide, Raymond, was really knowledgeable and fun to hang out with.

This tour was more about the historical knowledge of the Guide rather than the city itself. Bikes sucked.

This is a great tour! I've done street art tours around the world and this was the most educational. Ray is knowledgeable and very funny. I hadn't ridden a bike in a few years and didn't have a problem at all. If you are Buenos Aires and like street art this is a must do!

Raymond and the other BA Bike tour guides are extremely personable, fun, and knowledgeable about urban street art, its history and context. Raymond is an adept art critic who provides insights into the meaning and symbolism of art pieces, their cultural relevance, and their relationship to place. The pieces of art seen on this trip are not mainstream and represent authentic Buenos Aires that's off the tourist track. The ride itself is flat and not difficult, however, riders should have solid bike riding skills since riding on sidewalks, cobblestone, skinny streets, and in traffic is just part of the experience. Our group had a great time that made for a truly memorable experience!

My wife and I loved the Hidden Graffiti & Urban Art bike tour but especially loved Raymond and Rodrigo, two excellent and caring guides who knew the back streets and street art stories. We felt we learned a lot AND enjoyed our time with them and three Tango ladies that joined us on the tour. We highly recommend this tour and them specifically.
