Denver Graffiti Tour

We had a great walking tour earlier this week. Randy was our guide for what amounted to a private tour since it was just myself and my cousin. It was fun for me as a long time Denver resident, to discover the hidden gems of this very cool district of Denver. We appreciated the break at Central Market mid-tour for coffee and pit stop as the day was extremely hot. It was also nice to stay at the market after the tour and have a delicious lunch. Highly recommend this tour and Randy as a guide.

Nick was spectacular! A group of us were in town for my birthday and we all enjoyed the pieces shown, exploring RiNo, as well as Nick's local, fantastic knowledge of the art scene.

The Graffiti Tour with Nick was a fabulous way to jump start Saturday morning in Denver. He shared insights regarding the artists and the history of RINO. We saw many different displays of art during our tour. Engaging throughout the 2 + hours. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Denver! The tour was such a unique way to see more of the RiNo neighborhood as well as learn about the rich history and numerous artists in the community. Our tour guide Will was incredibly informative and kept the whole group upbeat and excited amidst the Denver heat & sun (which is no small feat!). I so appreciate the dedication the company has to really highlighting the artists and getting to know them to create such an authentic and beautiful tour.

We flew into Denver less than 24hrs before our tour. It was a great way to see a section of the city and learn some history of the area, and of course seem some amazing art! Will was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about all the pieces he showed us and able to provide some restaurant recommendations as an added bonus!

What a wonderful tour! Our guide, Nick, was so knowledgeable and friendly. The street art he showed us was beautiful and the context he provided made it magical. I scheduled a private tour for my work team and everyone loved it. We felt like tourists in our own city. One of the best parts was on the drive home, I was able to identify additional art that wasn't on the tour, but was by artists featured on the tour. Thank you Nick!

Art and beauty were everywhere!!! Our tour guide Nicholas was a wealth of knowledge about not only well known pieces, but also hidden gems, and about the artist themselves. He also took time to tell us a little bit about the history of the area and point out how the landscape is changing. All in all, a perfect tour to end my holiday in Denver. I lucked out and caught this tour when Mother Nature decided to give Denver a break on all the crazy weather. The tour is about 2-2.5 hours depending on the group. The walk is nice and realitivly flat. I would be cautious if you have a stroller, wheelchair, or someone requiring walking assistance as some of the ground is uneven in the back alleyways. Good news: I would say the mass majority of the tour is accessible.

What a cool experience! Thanks to Jen for a great tour - as transplanted “locals” we’re always driving or walking by cool Denver street art and wondering what the backstory is and who the artist is. This tour gives you all the details (and some gossip too!) from guides who are passionate about supporting the art and artists. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike - or better yet a great treat when you have visitors in town!

The whole experience was fantastic. Our guide will was entertaining and informative and we learned a lot. Fun thing to do if you're looking for something different

Another ray od sunshine, Denver has a mural festival in September (?) and there are QR codes by Rino that will show you the location of most of the works.

This is a must see tour when in Denver. Our guide was Nick. He was extremely knowledge about the street art and took his time to answer all of the questions from our group and connected with everyone in the group. He was extremely patient! Plan on the tour taking 2 hours and walking at a lesuriely pace, with a break in the middle of the tour to get refreshed. This tour taught us a lot about the artists and history of street art in Denver. Highly recommended!

A lot of street art and small shops around the blocks. There a few food places. Seems like they're try to make the area boom which is great. Visiting from San Diego CA.

Nick, our guide, was articulate, knowledgeable? And charming. He obviously respects the artists. I thought we got great value.

We had a great time exploring Denver with Jen! My fiancé and I are locals and have always seen the tour and finally decided to try it- what a treat!!!! We learned so much about our city and are excited to share our findings with friends. Highly recommend as a date night :)

Unique way to learn about Denver. Nick was passionate about the art and his city. Tour was very relaxing and informative. If you want to learn about Rino, take this tour

Denver Graffiti Tour is well worth it. Will was a fantastic guide, and we learned so much about the art and the artists. It was really interesting to learn about some of the hidden meanings in the artwork, and also to learn about relationships between the artists. We even had the chance to watch some of the artists in action. Such a fun day - can't wait to come back!

Excellent! Our tour guide knew the neighborhoods, murals and the about the artists. Easy walk through streets and alleys. We loved it and are inspired to learn more about street art. Highly recommend.

My work team planned a retreat day in downtown Denver. After a morning of brainstorming, we met up with Nick from Denver Graffiti Tour. He was amazing! He showed us the city we live in through a completely new lens. He was a wealth of knowledge and his passion was on display. I will definitely do this tour again - because street art evolves and changes, and I don't want to miss a thing! Thank you Nick!

While on vacation in Denver I was able to book the Denver Graffiti Tour in the Rino Art District in downtown Denver. The tour lasts for two hours and is 2 miles long but don't worry there are plenty of stops along the way. It's like a large open air museum of art including murals, graffiti, and street art. My guide has Jana and she was so knowledgeable. I was able to learn about the background behind the pieces and how the neighborhood has been affected. Tours are offered every weekend at 10AM. They also offer private tours on weekdays. Overall this was a great tour in which I was able to see and learn about the neighborhood and the great street art. I would definitely recommend attending if your in Denver.

Fantastic walking tour with Nick!! Thank you for the history, knowledge & fun info on the amazing outdoor artwork scene in Denver. Grandkids liked the animated mural, sharks & pyramid men!!

What a great experience! Will was a fantastic tour guide, pointing out all sorts of art big and small on our ~2 hour tour. I appreciated how thoughtful the tour was about addressing the context for the art, ensuring artists are named and given proper credit, and the dedication to local businesses! I am looking forward to an opportunity to go again.

As Denver residents, we'd visited RiNo to see murals before, but touring with Denver Graffiti Tours brought a whole other level of context and understanding. Our guide Will was fantastic - knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We toured during the Denver Walls festival so we saw and learned about existing murals but also got to visit new murals in progress together. A highlight was meeting and talking to the friendly and talented GFB3 who paused work on his ladder to share with us. We will definitely tour with this group again - highly recommend!

Nick was a great guide and the tour was amazing!! I highly recommend checking this out while you're in Denver!! The art is fantastic and learning some background and history of the artists and RINO area brought it to a whole new level.

The RiNo beer tour was the highlight of a weeklong business trip to Denver. RiNo is a hip art scene with a lot of great choices for beer, so having a local guide to point out the highlights was helpful. Brady was an amazing host; he is passionate and knowledgeable about craft beer and the RiNo area and clearly enjoyed sharing it with his guests. In fact, the vibe was more like a group of friends barhopping than a guided tour. There were 3-4 different styles of beer to enjoy at each of the first three stops. Brady described the style of each and there was plenty of time to relax and enjoy without feeling rushed. Each person received a tulip shaped tasting glass to keep which made for a thoughtful souvenir of the wonderful afternoon. Between stops, Brady pointed out several graffiti murals and spoke about each one. The pace of the tour was comfortable, about a mile of walking in total and water and restrooms were readily available at each stop. The last stop was a working German-style brewery and beer hall where we toured the production area before enjoying a full sized slow-pulled German lager and were invited to stay as long as we'd like to enjoy the company and purchase additional food and beverage if desired. (Though we were not allowed to keep the German beer glass, the logoed tasting glass we received was the perfect size and shape not only for tasting beer, but also whiskey - just saying.) Thanks to Denver Microbrew and to Brady for an unforgettable experience!

My husband and I, along with our 20 year old daughter, took a tour with Nick today and it was fabulous! We learned so much about the history of the Arts District and a lot about the individual muralists and graffiti artists, and we saw dozens of amazing pieces! This tour can be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike and when you know the story behind the pieces, they are even more fantastic! So much talent! Tour is highly recommended.

One of best things to do in Denver. Guides are great. And the art is great. We take out-of-towners and they love it.

This is a very interesting tour for both Locals and visitors. Our tour guide, Will was absolutely excellent. His knowledge of street art and the city of Denver was really quite extraordinary. Even if you live in the area, he will point out details and tell you stories about things that you might never have even imagined. I have taken a lot of walking tours in my travel, but this one will always be a favorite. And once the weather cools off, I will be bringing some friends and family on another one. It's worth repeating!

The website was easy to access & to choose dates & times. We arrived for our Graffiti Tour with ample parking. Will was our tour guide. He has a great personality, and is a teacher by trade, he is very knowledgeable about the artists and what the artwork meant. Half-way through the tour we stopped for a much needed ten min break to purchase drinks. Will really made the experience both comfortable + fun. After 2 hrs, we were left to end our tour in the Rino district to shop or to have lunch. Will did offer to take any of the tour grp back to the original mtg. spot (if they were lost or uninterested). I would recommend this tour to anyone that is open and would like to experience a different kind of art.

OMG!! Loved our tour guide, Will!!! We went on the "Happy Hour" Graffiti Tour today, and what an education!! I learned so much and will now appreciate the street art so much more! I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the city. I'm from Denver and would definitely recommend this so that YOU have a bit of knowledge! Thanks Will!!!

Jana was our tour guide. I am part of the Grands group of Central Park, so there was a whole bunch of female seniors on the tour. Jana was an excellent docent- sharing her in depth knowledge of the culture, politics, and history of the RiNo street art. In two hours my mind was bursting with new information. She answered all our questions in a very relatable manner. It was an easy walk but I was glad there was some shade and breeze. That being said, bring a water bottle.

Such a cool tour and very knowledge and friendly guides! Did this tour a few years ago and again this weekend and the art has completely changed.

"Hi, my name is Porsche Chanel and I like to travel all over the world to witness amazing graffiti artwork and murals." Alright, alright-- I'll admit it--I'm a mural snob! I've tried to turn myself into Photo Anonymous but they thought I was a joke... Within three years, I've traveled to over 34 states JUST to witness the amazing artwork that the different states offer. During my recent travels, I was happy to be able to witness the amazing work that the City of Denver has. The main streets Larimer and all around the area of Denver Central Market, one can simply explore the beauty of an array of different masterpieces. Denver has a wealth of great murals that I truly enjoyed seeing during my tour. My best friend and I were lucky to snag a date and time on a weekend we were visiting to be able to do this tour. Our tour guide was very resourceful and provided wonderful information about the artwork and the artist and the meaning behind the art. During our tour, we were able to walk around the Mile High City and stroll the RiNo neighborhood that consists of most of the artwork. You can also look at Lincoln Park, Capitol Hill, and Baker. I also learned that there is an organization called CRUSH, which is an organization that works with the mural artist and allows them to use warehouse walls to brighten the street art within the 'hood. My favorite murals that I witnessed were: * Greetings from Denver: artist Victor Ving--Address: * The Mermaid: artist Josiah Lee Lopez--Address: corner of 9th and Santa Fe Drive * Magic Mural located near Denver Central Market && * The amazing alleyway behind the Central Market I love the fact that the City allows the artist to graffiti all throughout the Rino area, especially in the back alleys. There are no other words to describe the artwork and the unique skills that the artist has. The masterpieces are just absolutely stunning! I certainly crown the City of Denver the BEST City for graffiti artwork! This tour && the murals are a MUST when visiting Denver!

This was a rad tour of the arts district. We saw a ton of cool art that we otherwise would have missed. Lots of cool architecture and business' along the way too.

Amazing experience today!! Jana was fantastic as our tour guide, and the weather couldn't have been better. Absolutely LOVE this tour. Visiting Denver for the first time and would recommend if you are up for walking. Loved the RiNo district

This was the highlight of our visit to Denver. Nick is a fantastic guide, bringing to life the history and cultural context of the street art and the overall neighborhood. The length of the tour is just right. We liked that the 10am tour ends at Denver Central Market, which is a great spot for lunch.

I took my mom on this tour and it was great. Our guide Will was so friendly and knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

This was a lot of fun and insightful! Well executed. Highly recommend it! The length of the tour was just right.

Definitely a worthwhile tour to learn about not only the Art but the Artists and History of the Art. I'm eager to search and learn more after taking the tour Great presentation by Nick Highly recommend

My husband and I recently took a Denver Graffiti Tour with Jana as our guide. We have attended the graffiti art in RINO for several years but this tour is well worth the price. Jana was very knowledgeable and a terrific spoksperson for the art and the artists. We were lucky to meet a couple of the artists and listen to them talk about the processes of their paintings.

What a great morning we had with Will on this tour! And we only scratched the surface. He had so much info - obviously loves what he does & it's contagious. A fascinating world I have a new appreciation for. I'm in the 'metro area' & knew nothing of this part of 'my city'! The art, the area, the history was fantastic. So was Will! Luckily, I was able to reschedule after needing to cancel my 1st appt & emailing with Jana made it easy & friendly! I plan to take out of town guests & do it again!

I loved walking around RiNo checking out the blend of old and new architecture, as well as the overflow of creativity in the form of street art. As a Denver native who is very familiar with this area, I am totally inspired by the energy being reinfused into this historic neighborhood. That said, I found the overly political and negatively slanted script of our guide Kaitlyn to be incredibly annoying. Her overuse of the word gentrification and the repeated message forced on us in regards to the plight of the people of Five Points and the objectification of the artists (disparity in pay, discrimination against women artists, etc) was frankly totally depressing and offensive. Such a total downer at every turn. There was no uplifting g message relayed whatsoever on this tour about the art and I found it odd that we ONLY stopped at murals where she could spread her BIZARRE dark-cloud agenda. I love art in all forms and seek it out whenever possible, but I would not recommend this tour. In fact, a self-guided tour would have been much more enjoyable than the cringeworthy 2 hours of preaching. Really disappointed in how the information on this tour was presented.

highly recommend!! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the street art scene and was flexible as to where we went during the Happy Hour Tour. Remember to bring water. It can get hot while you are walking around. The RHINOART district has a vibrant culture. Lots of murals, graffiti, food, bars, and shops to discover. This your is a great way to get the lay the land.

had a blast, Will did a great job, would highly recommend this to fill some time and be fully entertained

My sister & I scheduled a happy hour tour, and Jen was our tour guide. Two other people were supposed to show up but did not so we ended up getting a personal tour! Jen was very knowledgeable about the art and was able to answer our many questions. The tour was very conscious about crediting the artists and clearly has built relationships with the artists that they feature. For happy hour we stopped at the Gold Point bar on Larimer. We knew drinks were not included in the tour price, but prices were reasonable as it was happy hour. It was nice to have a break and chat with Jen some more. Overall a wonderful experience!! Highly recommend

Our family (13 and 16 year old girls and my husband) did this tour yesterday and it was such a great experience. CJ our guide knew a lot about the artists (because they talk to every one!) He gave insight into the neighborhood, issues affecting the area and the different kinds of art on the streets of Rino. This organization also gives a portion of its revenue back to the neighborhood and is truly interested in the wellbeing of the artists, residents and businesses there. Highly recommend!

A great tour and so fun to learn about graffiti and murals in RiNo. Nick our tour guide was awesome and so knowledgeable about the art and artists. Would highly recommend

What a great way to learn about the city, many incredibly talented artists and the history of the area. Will was a great guide. He was respectful of our time and made excellent use of the 2 hours. We learned so much and he really opened our eyes to the art scene. Even our 14yo found it fascinating!

Will was a great tour guide with so much knowledge and information on the graffiti artists and the evolution of Denver. The day was beautiful and the steps were an added bonus!!

Denver Graffiti Tour was an amazing and enlightening experience. Will was a great, educational, funny, and personable guide. The two hours flew by and we wanted it to keep going. Absolutely worth it!

Absolutely enjoyed the tour. Even though I have lived in the Denver area for over 20 years it was great intermingling of Denver history, politics, culture, and of course art work. All subjects that makes this girlie happy and all dancy pants. I appreciate our guide did not hold anything back as far as how the area we toured (Rhino district - also known as Five Points, Globeville, Cole, and Swansea) the various the rises, falls, and now rebuilding of these communities due to the artist that have helped bring back the beauty to the areas. Interesting thing we learned on the tour were the language of the street art and graffiti artists. Who gets paid (and sometimes paid greatly), who does it for the love/passion/emotional outlet of art. The various forms of street art...spray paint (which I am sure that was everyone's initial thought), wheat paste, stencils (sometimes frowned upon), knits/knitting (if you have leaves in Denver long enough you know about the knitting mafia), paint and brush, etc. It was completely worth the time and the walk. Great places to eat afterwards. Just wished the tour would have been 1.5 hours instead of 1 hours. Somehow the last 1/2 hour seemed sloooooow. And if the price would have been $20 instead of &30. Other then that, it was great!

Excellent tour of downtown Denver street art - both murals and graffiti! Nick was an excellent tour guide! I wish it had been longer, but I guess it's ok to be left wanting more. Perfect way to spend a morning in Denver learning about the Rino Art District whether you're a local or tourist. Looking forward to joining the Happy Hour tour at some point.

Was visiting the area from Missouri and I was inspired by all the art shows and stuff I had read about and wanted to know more and yes more is what I got. Lauren did a great job and was super relaxed. She knows a lot of info about the artist that she has talked to .

The tour itself is good, but I was underwhelmed by the art. RiNo district is trying very hard to be cool street art scene by corporatizing street art. They are all commissioned pretty but lame murals that went through 10 rounds of approval, masquerading as street art. There is a reason Denver doesn't figure in even top 20 street art cities.

Great experience touring with Denver Graffiti Tour! We brought a group of teenagers for an educational program and Will was able to keep them engaged and get them excited about learning the history of street art all afternoon. The students told us it was one of their favorite field trips!

We brought a group of our local Mizzou alums to this tour as part of our "Denver tours" event series. Erin and James were absolutely phenomenal to work with from start to finish. They catered to our private tour needs and made the planning process an event planner's dream. The tour itself was fantastic - insightful and enjoyable in every way. I could have continued walking several more hours listening to all that James knows about the street art and artists themselves. Fabulous experience - highly recommend!

Denver Graffiti Tour is a WONDERFUL attraction and company! It is an amazing tour that shows all of the art around RiNo, and really pulls in guests. I sent a group here for an event that allowed for members to mingle and meet each other while simultaneously learning something new. They are friendly, easy to work with, accommodating, and put a new twist on exploring. Whether you have lived here your whole life or are just visiting, I highly recommend spending the afternoon wandering around with Denver Graffiti Tours!

What a fun way to spend the day with our out of town guests! Great tour, great art and the beer stop was a bonus.
