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.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We are Denver locals and spend quite a bit of time in RiNo, but recently did a graffiti tour in Medellín, and wanted to try out our hometown version. Bottom line, awesome tour. James was great—very knowledgeable, had lots of info and unique tidbits about the artists, and pointed out lots of pieces that we’ve walked by a million times but never really noticed or spent time thinking about. This tour is a great way to get a legit vibe of RiNo, see super cool art, and do something new and different in Denver. Highly recommend this tour, whether you live here or are visiting, you’ll see good stuff and learn a lot about what’s gone on here over the last decade.

My husband and I took the Denver Graffiti Tour last weekend and we were fascinated! This walking tour takes you all over the RiNo area of Denver to show you amazing street art and graffiti. The tour directors are extremely knowledgeable about the artists, the buildings the art and graffiti are painted on, and the RiNo art district itself. We feel we learned a lot! It is a walking tour lasting about 2 hours and snaked all over the area. I strongly encourage you to sign up for this tour...it is inexpensive, you learn so much and we had a lot of fun! Great activity!

This is a very enjoyable and enlightening 2 hour tour exposing the tourist to the basics of street art vs graffiti, their cultural origins, and intersections with hip hop music and skate boarding. The guides present a sensitive, unapologetic insight into the “ gentrification” of the RINo district. The tour, an “urban experience”, exposes tourists to the intersection of the rapidly gentrifiing area, the soon to be displaced historic residents, and the Denver homeless population as you explore many different styles of street art in the RINo district.
