Denver Graffiti Tour

Overview

Denver Graffiti Tour is a 2-hour walking showcase of Denver's best murals and street art (and some of the best in the country). Learn the story behind the art and how the rapidly changing RiNo neighborhood has affected the art and its long-time residents. Whether visiting Denver for the first time or a Mile High native, you'll see the street art and this neighborhood in a new light.

We end at the Denver Central Market, a gourmet food hall where you can eat or drink at one of the 10 eateries.

(Oh, and we offer custom times and private tours. Inquire by email or phone.)

What's Included

Guided Tour

Additional Info

Wheelchair accessible
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Service animals allowed
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
The majority of the walking tour is paved. There are one or two sections that may go over hard-packed dirt. And we also go down an alleyway for a few blocks that sometimes has debris and/or glass. We have had many strong people in wheel chairs on the tour with no problems, but those in wheel chairs without a lot of strength may find it difficult in certain sections.

What To Expect

RiNo Art District

Tour-goers will be guided on foot through the RiNo Art District to see some of the best murals and street art in the country. We'll stop at anywhere from 20-30 pieces, but you'll see nearly 100. (And we love questions about all of it.) We'll also stop to discuss the neighborhood's rapid change has brought new hip businesses but also contributed to the displacement of long-time residents ... and has had an effect on the art. We'll end at Denver Central Market (about a 1/2 mile from the start) where you can grab food or drink from any of the gourmet food hall's 10 restaurants.

As a street art tour guide myself I always seek out other street art tours to learn about the art and culture in other cities. I was blown away by the art in Denver. I could have easily spent another 4 hours exploring on my own. Jesse did a wonderful job explaining graffiti and street art in a larger cultural context. His delivery and pacing of the tour was on point. Street art tours are a great way to see a city and I would highly recommend Denver Graffiti Tours.

Awesome tour! Great tour guide, Jesse Myers. Very informative and enjoyable. Lots to see. And winding up at the Colorado market at the end of the tour with a beer, fabulous! Highly recommend this for anyone, local or just visiting.

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 intimately familiar with this area, I am totally inspired by the energy being re-infused 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 of the plight of the people of Five Points and the objectification of the artists (disparity in pay, discrimination against women artists, etc) became offensive. Such a total downer at every turn. It was clearly the entire focus. There was no uplifting message relayed whatsoever on this tour 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.
