Great insight into the world of street art

Cami was a great guide for this tour. Being a graffiti artist himself he had an insider’s knowledge of the stories behind the art and the hip hop scene that accompanies. He brought alive the way street art commemorates great moments in Bogata’s history. I recommend this tour!

Operator response

Thanks Martin. Hope you had a great tour with a local artist.
