Itinerary
The Tour starts here! Great spot to grab a coffee or a meal. Local and a real find!
Here you'll the the Larimer Boy and Girl mural one of the city’s most unique murals. It’s a three-dimensional canvas that showcases two different images - the sad face of a girl from the south side of the block and the animated face of a boy from the north side.
From the patio of Stem Cider, you’ll be able to take in the Breonna Taylor mural by celebrated artists Hiero Veiga and Thomas “Detour” Evans — these two are famous for advocating social justice through their art.
Located on the walls of the IMAC building, the IMAC mural is one of the most famous pieces of street art here in RiNo and it wraps the north and east sides of the building at 2550 Larimer Street. It’s known as “orange, blue, and red eyes” and now that you can see it - you can see how it got its name.
Here you'll walk down Mural Alley! Every September Denver holds an annual event called the Crush Walls Street Art Festival and it attracts street-art aficionados from around the country. They cover this alley with their work.
We will stop outside of the hotel and check out the murals on the side of the Hotel.
The Love this City Mural in Denver is one of the most visited and for good reason!
The tour ends here and you'll see a street of murals, some of the best work in Denver. You'll also hear about Crush Walls and local street artists.

It is very outdated. Most of the places mentioned are closed and murals have changed or are painted over.
The self guided is great if u don't want to be on a set schedule. This particular recording is outdated though. Not all the art described is still there. It's been painted over.
Half the murals didn't exist anymore, and the walking directions were terrible . After stop 3, we were hopelessly lost and just gave up and walked around on our own. Also the explanations were somewhat superficial. We found the same information on the Internet and didn't really need the app.
Unfortunately it didn’t work properly. When I opened it, all I got was a google map with only a starting point marked, no destinations, no points of interest, nothing to guide the tour. And the starting point it offered wasn’t even where we wanted to begin. I wasn’t able to access any of the features or get the tour to load, so overall it was a disappointing experience
Great experience! Lots of fun facts and interesting information. It was special to see a Breonna Taylor mural in Denver.
This trip was a waste of time and money. Many of the murals mentioned no longer exist. Obviously, I don’t recommend this trip.
At first I was skeptical about doing this alone and I am so glad I did. Many of the reviews said that some of the murals wasn’t there but it was fine. This self guided tour got me out of my hotel room and into the streets with fun fact. I love the self pace as every now and then I stopped for an adult beverage along the way. Very worth the price. Great to do alone or with someone. The murals are the best I’ve ever seen. Thank you for having this adventure for the solo travelers!!!
Difficult to follow. Very few murals described and we walked past murals. No map of areas linked to murals provided.
For the price, this was a deal! The audio needs to be updated to match the newer murals but most of the locations were accurate.
For less than $10, this is a no brainer. The art was beautiful. The recordings were excellent. The navigation from spot to spot was not the easiest software…but no big deal. What a neat service for a solo traveler.
