Barcelona Street Art Tour with Exclusive Artist Studios Visit
Description
More than just a Street Art Tour Barcelona, our small group Graffiti Tour blends exploring the streets with visits to the Studio Space of a Street Art Crew and also to an Urban Gallery showcasing original works. The tour is lead by artists and art historians who are actively involved in the Barcelona art scene, providing behind-the-scenes info and an authentic connection to the local scene. We’ll kick off by exploring iconic murals and graffiti in El Raval and the Gothic Quarter- vibrant neighbourhoods in the historic centre of Barcelona. Next we will head to a cutting edge Urban Art Gallery to see original pieces and will end the experience at the studio space of an Artist collective, meeting the artists themselves. You will leave the experience with a deeper knowledge of street art culture; the difference between tags, throw ups, murals and everything between. See a vast range of different styles. Please contact us if you would like to make this a private customised experience.

What a unique way to experience Barcelona! Highly recommend if you want to see parts of Barcelona that are less common. Luke knows an incredible amount about each piece and his passion resonates through this experience. Probably a highlight of my trip in Barcelona
Luke was very friendly and easy-going, quick to answer questions online (both before and after the tour), tailored the tour to our interests and even spent more time on our tour than we'd booked. He knew what he was talking about and showed us the hidden gems we probably wouldn't have found (or understood) on our own. The artists at the studio were also very friendly; they showed us what they were currently working on and told us about their work in general, which was also very interesting.
The tour with Luke was really great, super interesting and just great. Luke knows his way around, showed us great corners, even away from the usual tourism, and always left enough time for photos, questions or anything else on our minds. The absolute highlight for me was the visit to the studio 😊 being able to talk to the artists was really nice! I highly recommend the tour!!
Great tour! Kat was a wonderful guide and we learned so much about the Barcelona art scene. Highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic way to see Barcelona and learn about its incredible street art culture. Anya oir guide was absolutely brilliant, she knew so much about everything and did th tour in Spanish and English flawlessly. If you love street art and you want to explore the city, I couldn’t recommend this more.
Best experience on my trip to Barcelona. Luke is really skilled and passionate about his job and that shines through the whole trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were very impressed! The tour was informativ, and fantastique, the quide Kat absolutely lovely!……………………………………..
Thank you Alexandra! We love Kat :) She is a great guide and an even better artist!
It was a very cool experience, talking and walking for 2 hours with very nice and interesting guide, being in places with less tourists and getting inspiration from the galleries and a parallel street art world, seeing Barcelona from a different angle :-) Was fun to look for and to find street art everywhere on our walks through the city afterwards, which we wouldn't notice otherwise. So many great artists in Barcelona!
The street art tour was amazing, the host being an artist herself was able to share a lot of insight into the various techniques and styles. Also, ended up meeting some artists from the gallery doing interesting work. Highly recommend!
The most special part of the tour was that our guide Juan is a local street artist and was able to give us a unique perspective on the art scene here. We even got to see some of his pieces! The other highlight was the studio visit. Getting to see works in progress and speak to other artists and hear their stories was an experience that immensely enriched my visit to Barcelona.
