Tour description

Want to learn how graffiti fits into Bogotá’s history and allure?

Join us on this tour not only of Colombia’s history as told by art!

Bogotá has become a world reference in graffiti. It boasts impressive murals and street art that place it above cities like Miami, Amsterdam, Rio, 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’s streets as a curated museum of amazing artists!

This tour has a suggestion of USD 10.

I had a great morning with Chris' walking tour. Great information about the art and the artists and about graffiti in general. He showed us amazing murals I would have never found without the tour.

The tour was okay and the guide friendly, but not to convincing as far as presentation. He said he's new to this tour and he would be better in a year's time. Fair enough...

The tour itself was fun and our guide amazing, it was just very technical. We learned a lot about graffiti styles and a LOT about different artists. It was interesting, but I think after one hour we were just confused with all the names, techniques and styles. I think a little less technical information would be good. I really enjoyed the interpretations of some murals tho!

Good amount of information regarding each graffiti visited and also a good amount of background information in order to understand the history of street art and to spot artists on the street.
