Itinerary
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.

- 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.

Very informative tour, we learn a lot about art in Denver and their artists. Will our guide was very dynamic, highly recommended!
We had such a great tour with Will! Neither my husband nor I knew much about Denver, so we thought this tour would be a great introduction, and it really was. We learned about Denver in general, Denver's graffiti and street art scene, and graffiti and street art in general. We had only one other person, so we got loads of questions answered and even a wee bit of an extension on the tour. Highly recommended. It was hot the day we went, so be sure you watch the weather and bring water and use sunscreen when needed.
Beautiful and some intriguing murals. Our guide was excellent, providing history that gave context to the art. He was very attentive to all participants
Who knew there were so much to see? One of the best tours I’ve done - saw so much and leaned so much. Great way to see part of Denver.
The tour was very good the guide Nick was great explained everything presented the RiNo very accurately because it is from the neighborhood.
There are so many amazing pieces of artwork all over RiNo, but I never knew the stories. This will be the first tour you ever take where you want to go down back alleys.!
This was my second tour with Denver Graffiti this winter. I went on the RINO tour in January and returned with my husband and adult children this time. The second tour lived up to my hype! Nick was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, and the art is gorgeous and evocative. Five stars from all six of us, ranging in age from 30-66.
Loved the tour. Nick was great! Very knowledgeable about the art and the changing neighborhood. Would definitely recommend.
We like to say we offer a class on street art -- so it will be educational AND entertaining. I am so glad that you felt that is exactly what you got! Thanks so much for your kind words.
Great tour of the murals in the Rhino Arts District. We learned a lot about the history of the area. Nick was our knowledgeable guide--personable guy. Highly recommend this tour for a fun morning walk around Larimar Street. Tour ends at Central Market--a great place to eat lunch. Stop at Raquelitas for fresh tortillas and chips after your tour!
So glad you could join us -- and that you were able to snag fresh tortillas from Raquelitas! Best ever. Thank you for taking our tour, and for recommending it!
We had a great time with Randy and enjoyed learning about the various artists and artwork that was all over the RiNo district. I highly recommend this tour. Highlight - actually seeing an artist in action and getting to meet her. A fun way to experience the city.
We are always so excited as well -- and grateful that the artists give us a heads up -- when there are artists out painting live during our tours! The art changes a *lot*, so especially during nice weather, it's a fun bonus. Thank you for joining us for the education and the incredible art!
