Highlights
- RiNo Art District - 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.
What's Included
- Guided Tour
Additional Information
The Denver Graffiti Tour takes you on a 2-hour walking journey through Denver’s most stunning murals and street art, some of which are considered the finest in the nation. Discover the narratives behind the artwork and understand how the rapid transformation of the RiNo district has impacted the art and its longstanding community. Whether you’re a newcomer to Denver or a seasoned local, you’ll experience the urban artwork and the precinct in a fresh perspective.
Our tour concludes at Denver Central Market, a luxurious food hub where you are free to satisfy your hunger or thirst at any of the 10 dining establishments.
(Also, we provide the flexibility of custom timings and private tours. Feel free to inquire via email or phone.)
- 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.

What a great street art tour! - We've lived in Denver for a number of years but had no idea that there was so much exciting street art in the city. We'd seen several murals while driving through RINO, but wow--there is so much more to see! Will, our tour guide, was fabulous. He's so knowledgeable and so obviously loves Denver's street art and artists, his energy and enthusiasm are contagious. We'll be back and look forward to learning more!

Good for all ages/knowledge levels - What a gem! The tour guide, Nick, was a wealth of knowledge and we seemed to only scratch the surface in two hours. Booked this as a gift for our art-enjoying teen and ended up having so much fun learning about something I had given zero thought to before. Really enjoyable for the whole family!

Excellent intro to RiNo street art - The guide, a high school Spanish teacher, knew the history of the neighborhoods that make up RiNo & knew the street art well. Fast-paced and fun even in the cold! The tour made me want to go back and walk the streets on my own, to discover more.

Awesome - Will was absolutely fantastic. He made the tour so fun and he is so knowledgeable. He even kept our eight year old engaged and excited. He is not a big fan of walking but he didn’t even realize that he was exercising bc Will made it into a scavenger hunt for him. The rest of our family loved hearing the history and about the artists. Will really made the whole group so comfortable even though we were strangers at the beginning by the end of two hours we were sad it ended. I highly recommend taking this tour. Worth every penny.

See and Learn - We booked this tour last minute. DGT was so accommodating even though it was just the two of us. Yes, you can just walk around and see graffiti but you’ll learn so much more about the art and the place with a guide. Will was great. He shared the history of the neighborhood, fascinating details about the artists, and took us to see hidden gems. He was personable, enthusiastic,and very knowledgeable.

One of the best art tours we have ever done - Nick, our tour guide was exceptional and very interesting. His knowledge of Street Art and graffiti was insane. Also the way he referenced the art was like being in an outdoor art gallery. This tour is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in art.

Great way to experience a funky side of Denver - Nick was a great guide- amiable and knowledgeable. And we saw so much art! Almost like being in an outdoor museum- Rino has such a density of art works. The hours are great- you tour from 10-12ish, and then it’s lunchtime - and you are in the middle of all these great cafes, bars and restaurants. Makes for a really fun half-day outing.

Excellent tour of the RINO murals - Jana led a private tour for our group, and we were all so impressed with her knowledge of the artists. She also talked about the history of both the neighborhood and the murals, putting everything in context for us. We couldn't have been happier with the tour and highly recommend it.
