Fantastic! Tour guide (and owner) is wonderful, super-knowledgable about the street art community and culture, with an academic background in art history -- great combo! Entire 2 hours was filled with insight that I could not have gotten any other way. Very enjoyable time, highly recommend
This tour gives you an opportunity to see some of the city's gorgeous murals and learn about the local art scene. Great experience, very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend!
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
Great tour! Kat was a wonderful guide and we learned so much about the Barcelona art scene. Highly recommend.
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!
Luke made us see things we hadn't noticed before, discover a huge variety of works and the community of artists behind those works in such a lively way that made us see some of Barcelona's neighbourhoods with completely new eyes. You should absolutely join Luke on this passionate journey... as early as possible in your stay!
Barcelona's street art scene is renowned and worth learning more about. This walking tour should be on any visitor's "to do" list. This walking tour was informative and interesting and well paced. Juan's delivery was clear and he provided important cultural context about how Barcelona came to be the site of such a cosmopolitan, varied street art community. We also were able to visit a shared studio of some of the artists whose work we had just learned about on the tour. The studio hosts receptions for the shows held in the front of the space, and there are small works of art (and some wonderfully repurposed spray cans!) that can be purchased on site. I plan to return just for that purpose. Some original art by local artists would be a great memento for myself and gift for friends.
Interesting, incentive with insider knowledge of the graffiti workd
Highly recommend!
Loved the gallery visit at the end
This great experience was one of the highlights of our Barcelona trip. We learned so much about street art from Luke and started to see so many cool signature tags and artists that we never would have noticed as we walked around Barcelona for the rest of our trip. Luke is a gem, and the opportunity to visit artist studios and talk to artists about their work made the experience all the richer and more fantastic.
Juan was great! He is quite knowledgeable and clearly enjoys his work. I loved having the opportunity to see the artists’ studio.

Walking around Barcelona it is hard to miss all the graffiti and street art.....one often dismisses it as vulgar or occasionally stops to appreciate one that stands out...My husband and I decided to take a tour for a better understanding of this very visible urban expression.
WOW Absolutely LOVED this tour! There is history, different creative styles, a whole culture and movement. Our Guide Juan not only toured us to areas of Barcelona we had never previously explored; he is also a street artist and part of this creative culture. Some of these Street Artists have been elevated to gallery level work. There were a few opportunities to meet some of these artists and watch them in action. We left with a new perspective that we carried with us through our next few days in Barcelona; pointing out images; talking about styles; getting excited when we would discover another piece by the artists in far reaching areas of the city.
I am so glad we took a chance on this tour.
Luke had a great insiders knowledge and art appreciation. We had a great time with him. Small group, lots of fun, so cool. Highly recommend seeing parts of Barcelona that most would not know about.
Really bad experience. The guide did not show up and tow days later, after two emails, I have not received any update as to why the guide did not show up
This was our first street art tour, and we went with our 15-year-old and 19-year-old. We all enjoyed it very much. The guide was excellent, and the small group size made for a more personal experience. It offered us a unique perspective of Barcelona. Highly recommended if you're interested in exploring beyond the typical tourist activities.
I Loved this intimate tour of the city while viewing the street art and hearing about the history of it here. I do street art tours in every major city I visit and what made this special is our time spent at the studios of many of these artists at the end of tour. It was an in depth personal journey of their art, process and relationships to the city. I highly recommend and thank you to Katheryn for making it so amazing.
This is a fantastic tour and Juan is just the best of guides. Being an artist himself, he is very knowledgable in regards to the contemporary art scene in Barcelona and showed as many great, also hidden, spots. He knew many of the local artists and is clearly someone who loves what he does. We learned so much about street art in general, the scene in Barcelona and the city itself. A clear recommendation if you are interested in art and want to explore the city from a different perspective.
Valentina was very knowledgeable and showed us so many different types of street art & the historical significance.
Amazing art tour! I learned lots about the city in addition to art. My guide was very informative, pleasant, helpful, and showed me so much about the street art.
It was an amazing experience walking through the hidden paths in the city and visiting impressive art pieces that I couldn't have found by myself with a very friendly and informative guide.
Luke was excellent and very diligent in showing me around. It was my last day in Barcelona so in addition to showing me street art, he went out of his way to show/tell me about unique architecture, history, and Barcelona stories. Big thumbs up for this tour!
The tour was wonderful. Katrina was so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was clear she knew what she was talking about and was passionate about the subject.
Katrina was knowledgeable and knew her way around the area. Lovely to hear the history of street art and the many forms of art that is around Barcelona. Would highly recommend.
Extremely good guid. He knows very well the Artists, History and the Places. Next time I'm in Barcelona I'll join again!
Artspace tours is a professional fun and well run outfit. Our tour guide, Luke was very knowledgeable and up to date with all things art. He showed us around the gothic quarter and introduced us to street artists and gallery owners (with no pressure to buy!!!!!) we saw some fabulous street and gallery art - the tour flew by as we had so much fun with lots of laughter. Luke imparted with so much more knowledge of the local area than we could have wished for! An excellent way to see Barcelona and get to know and enjoy the local vibe.!! Thanks Luke - very highly recommended!
Bernardo the guide, was very passionate and knowledgeable about street art. He explained everything from the local graffiti laws to the recurring artist and the stories behind the art. A great chance to get an alternative view of the city, i would definitely recommend
Amazing host. Would definitely do this again!!! Lot of surprises on the trip that were epic!!! Host was so cool !!

Thank you for the lovely review Cheryl! Luke is a great host with a real passion for art, we are so happy you enjoyed your experience with us.
Luke was knowledgeable, interested in the subject and entertaining. I have done this tour before and will likely do it again. This tour represents the real Barcelona.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thanks so much, Stan, Luke really is an amazing guide with a passion for art! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience with us.
We took this tour on the last day of our trip, then later wished we would have done it sooner! Jimi was a fun, engaging, and knowledgeable guide. He has so much passion for what he does, this shows throughout the tour. We saw street art in many forms, as well as time periods, along with history about the city. Much of the tour was out of the touristy areas. Afterwards, we were sad to be leaving because we felt the areas we saw were exactly how we would want to experience Barcelona. The art is everywhere, and you recognize it more after the tour. This is a perfect day tour for if you are a late riser or want to enjoy the later evening. Jimi also gave us great recommendations for places to eat and drink! An amazing guide and experience all together! We already plan on coming back to see the ever changing colorful streets of Barcelona!
Super visite guide au top je recommande maintenant je regarde les rues d’une autre manière et cherche les détails
Juan nous a fait vivre le street art du point de vue d’un artiste, ce qui a fait l’originalité de ce tour par rapport aux autres qui sont proposés. La visite des ateliers d’artistes et la rencontre avec les artistes étaient passionnantes.
Nous aurions voulu aussi découvrir quelques belles œuvres de grande ampleur qui sont pourtant très présentes à Barcelonne.
