Mexico City Private Street Art Tour
Description
In Mexico, we have a strong tradition of muralism dating back to the 1930s. Today, the concept of muralism has evolved. Artists now paint the streets to beautify public spaces or give new meaning to areas affected by violence, among other themes. In our street art tour, we will go sightseeing through the city center, see incredible murals by world-renowned artists, and explore the underground graffiti world created by local and international artists. We will learn to identify different styles and techniques of graffiti and gain a deeper understanding of the world of street art.

Neene was a fantastic guide! She did an amazing job explaining the cultural and historical significance of the street art we saw as well as the architecture and other landmarks in the areas. I would highly recommend this tour! Street art tours are my favorite way to get to know a city.
Neene was informative and patient with my questions! She is knowledgable about the area and stories the history of the street art we visited well.
Ruben was warm, personable and informative. He gave us the perfect mix of historical and cultural information as he introduced us to a wide variety of vibrant, important street art. We totally enjoyed our experience and highly recommend it!
My partner, my parents and I had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide was Ruben, and as a student of history, he was really great at not just telling us about each piece of art we saw, but also providing historical, political, and cultural context to each work. This was exactly what we were looking for.
This was a last minute booking, and it ended up being on of my favorite parts about my trip to Mexico. In addition to the street art, I also learned so much about Mexico City, the political environment, the history, how the streets are organized, and more. The street art was beautiful and so impactful. I highly recommend this tour!
Haydee gave us an excellent introduction of the street art of Mexico City. We truly enjoyed very much.
This was really fun. If you have a couple of hours to see the city in a different light … don’t miss this one. I started to look at the street art in a different way. Our guide was great, he really showed us about the area through a natives eyes. My son and I were so thrilled we did this walking tour.
The tour director is very well organized and great with communication. If you are interested in art, art history, explanation of street art and graffiti, book this tour now! The guide, Estefania, is extremely well educated in art, art history, street art, graffiti and the current trends in the street art scene. She was able to more than answer all of our questions, including questions about the living walls and other things we saw around Mexico City while walking the city. Also, Estefania was especially a pleasure because of her enthusiasm for the subject matter. Great!
