We run tours in close collaboration with a network of street artists, and share our first hand knowledge of the scene through friendly guided tours which reveal the extraordinary story behind the thriving urban art scene. Our tours take you off the beaten path to reveal the city's hidden graffiti hotspots and street art galleries. You’ll learn all about the Buenos Aires urban art scene, from the cultural and historical origins to the different styles and techniques on display. Stopping by an artists’ studio and finishing in the city’s only street art bar and gallery, the tour also gives you the chance to meet with artists and buy affordable artwork. All proceeds from our tours are used to keep our project running, and enable us to continue promoting the scene and supporting its artist. « less

In my opinion, the graffitimundo tour is an integral part of any trip to Buenos Aires. Even if you're only in town for a few days, it should be worked into your itinerary. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour provides access to and information on street art that you simply wouldn't come across otherwise. It's also a... More

The concept behind the tour is very unique and lends itself to an incredibly interesting and fun tour. We saw a side of Palermo we wouldn't have visited on our own, while learning about the world of graffiti in Buenos Aires. I'm not a fan of graffiti, or so I thought before taking this tour. But after seeing the street... More

I wish we were able to do the tour on the first day that we arrived in BA because it provided us with great insight into the culture and history of Argentina, great tips for restaurants and what to do around the City, and at the same time was a tour around the City. The company is great, providing tours... More

We immensely enjoyed our time on the graffiti tour of Buenos Aires. The group size was not too big, which allowed time for questions and to get to know others. Ample time for photos and the guide was very knowledgable. They also give you an insider's guide to BA at the end of the tour, which is filled with restaurant,... More

This was a great tour. Getting an understanding of the history and stories of the street art was really interesting. The tour itself was well paced and involved both walking and a few stops on the minibus. The end of the tour is both a pub/bar and the shared studio. Highly recommend for a great afternoon.

Johnny, one of the owners, took our family of 5 including 3 children on a fun filled afternoon tour of the local graffiti seen. He was very animated in his historical perspective of graffiti and it's appeal in BA. We learned a lot and saw some very impressive art in the process. He even brought us to meet 3 well... More

Jonny and Brett were both personable and knowledgable, a pleasure to ride with and listen to what they had to say about the graffiti art scene in buenos aires. This is an excellent Sunday afternoon bike tour, just the right amount of time and distance covered. I am really glad I went on this tour. Highly recommended.

I hate doing touristy stuff when I visit a city because I want to see the city in its residents' eyes and that's exactly what Cecilia offered us with a fantastic tour about street art and the history attached to it. It was one of my favorite moment in my short week visiting BA and I highly recommend it to... More

I learned so much about street art, and Buenos Aires history on this tour, which was given by an engaging, thoughtful, and intelligent guide. Amazing art, terrific commentary, and such fun! Don't hesitate to go, even if you have the slightest interest in street art, and if you are somebody like myself who never goes on tours. Thank you Grafftimundo... More
