Bogotá has become a world reference in graffiti. It boasts impressive murals and street art that place it above cities like Miami, Amsterdam, Río, and México City. Its rise as one of the key city-canvases in Latin America has made it an attractive destination for the curious tourist and the bold artist. Would you have guessed?
As with graffiti everywhere else, Bogotá’s history with the art has often been tense. But great art can overcome negative labels. Right now, no one would call it vandalism. It has struggled but has earned its place and the city is better for it. The mixture of social and political commentary with a twist of local and foreign styles make Bogotá’s graffiti truly a sight to behold.
Join us in this tour not only of Colombia’s history as told by art but a tour of Bogotá as a curated museum of amazing artists!

Nataly foi extremamente gentil e acolhedora, explicando toda história, contexto e organização da arte de rua Colombiana. O passeio pelo bairro é super agradável e uma ótima forma de conhecer pessoas de outras partes do mundo com o mesmo interesse que você.

We were four people (2 couples) and did a graffiti tour with Cristian. He was an amazing guide. His depth of historical and social knowledge was really amazing. The tour was as much a tour through Colombia's complicated social and political history as it was a tour of art. We highly recommend this tour. I will do it again next time I am in Bogota.

Five stars for the Bogotá Graffiti Tour with the incredible guide Gabriele! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Every alley and street corner turned into a live gallery, with stories and art that vibrated with life and color. Gabriele's passion and knowledge truly brought the walls to life. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the heart and soul of the city through its art.🎨

Luis was such an amazing tourguide! He took us for a graffiti walk through La Candelaria, to corners you would not go to yourself, to tell us about the history and background of graffiti artworks in Bogota and Colombia. He did it with great passion and I would really recommend anyone who would like to dive into the local street culture to have Luis as your storyteller. Thank you so much!

We loved the graffiti tour with Bernardo. He explained the techniques used by the artists as well as the social and cultural themes depicted in the art. We saw many beautiful murals and also walked La Candelaria.

Really fantastic way to see a bit of the soul of the city. The tour included some history, explanations and examples of graffiti/mural styles, and lots of fun photo ops. Our guide, Christian, was so passionate about the art and thr Colombian culture. I strongly recommend this as a supplement/alternative to the more traditional city tour.
