Excellent morning with Olga who is incredibly knowledgeable about the Barcelona art community. We saw a number of artists in the Rambla area of the city.
Charlotte_N, Jul 2025
Highly recommend this tour. Knowledgeable guide skillfully uncovering a world hidden in plain sight. Art, history and social commentary rolled in to two fascinating hours. An easy walk ending in central Barcelona and will widen your perspective.

There was only the two of us on the tour which made it even more special. Great tour took ALL the photos.

Best tour ever! Thank you so much for your attention to detail and expertise! We thoroughly enjoyed our guide and the experience. No way we would have navigated or deciphered the route or known the detail. Photos galore!!!

Juan is a street artist himself and gave us a fantastic tour. Really recommend doing this tour early in your stay, because jt changes how you see things as you travel around. So much great stuff on shutters and paste ups above street signs to see! Juan was charismatic and kind and just so gracious as he took us around and taught us so much about the city and the local amazing street art scene. There is a lot of history to hear and a lot of incredible artists to learn about. Definitely take this tour!

This was my favorite tour of Barcelona (including Sagrada Familia). Of course, it depends on what you are looking for, and Sagrada Familia is not to be missed either. But if you have time to do both, as the famous line says, "Just do it"!
I'm giving this a five star, but must let you know that for Viator, it was only a 1 star. Viator's app took us to the ending spot instead of the beginning spot, which is 15-20 minutes away by subway. I was frantically trying to contact the tour operator and viator when the tour operator called me (I was unable to make outbound calls for some reason).
The tour guide, Juan, agreed to meet us where we were, which eased our stress. He then did the tour backwards which was fine with us. However, I'd like to mention that we were the only ones scheduled, and had there been other guests it wouldn't have been possible.
Juan (a street artist himself) was an excellent guide of this formerly slum area which is now being gentrified to the dismay of many of the residents who can no longer afford to live there.
Our excellent guide was also was able to gain access to a secret garden spot (you need a key to get in and he knows Flora, the community activist who has lived there for decades and started the garden) which we never would have been able to see without him.
He also made a detour when I asked about a church I saw -- the oldest in the area -- and he told me all about the church, which predates the gothic churches and how it was still being used. Juan's knowledge about the area really impressed us since he is not native but has lived in several countries.
The explanations he gave, the pace, the stories and his excellent English speaking skills made this tour worth well more than the money (and tip) we spent.
There is another Street Art tour I scheduled in advance, but they canceled my tour without explanation (I had booked many months ahead), and raised the price. This annoyed me, and the Raval tour, although higher in price than my original booking, had good reviews so I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did not reschedule the other tour as this one was likely 1000% better.
The Raval Street Art and Graffiti Tour is a MUST for any travelers to Barcelona. Just be sure that you are going to the BEGINNING meeting spot and not the ENDING spot as this is a known issue of Viator.

Fascinating tour. Great background on street art and many different examples of styles and formats. Fun to see the styles and hear the stories.
Wendy_L, Dec 2023
Guide was really informative and passionate about the street art in Barcelona. He was able to tell us about the artists.

Amazing introduction to the appreciation of the art world in Barcelona. It was great to stop and admire what we may have walked right by and loved recognizing what we learned throughout the rest of our trip. Great tour and a must do!

This was one of the most interesting tours I’ve ever been on. Jeanne was an incredible guide through the streets and art of graffiti in Barcelona. I left the tour with an entirely new appreciation for street art. I highly recommend this tour to anyone!
sigrid_h, Sep 2023
We loved finding the hidden art in the streets of Barcelona . Our guide, Olga, was wonderful and full of knowledge about the artists and the history of graffiti as an art form.

Tour operator never showed. I called the contact number listed and got hung up on. Trying to figure out how to get a refund. I do not recommend this experience to anyone.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Laura. We have been explaining you the reason of this issue (our guide had an accident), we never miss tours. The full refund has been done directly the day after. We're sorry again for the inconvenience caused.
Paul_J, May 2023
We loved seeing the art and came away with a better understanding of how it comes to be. We saw beautiful work that displayed fine details and dimensions. A fun and informative tour. Our French guide Jan was terrific!
Mikael_S, Apr 2023

By doing a street art tour you discover the city on it’s own unique way. You learn about the city and you visit non tourist spots. And that’s what we love. Our guide was amazing. She knows a lot about the BCN And Street art.
Gayle_B, Dec 2022
Not only is this a great tour of street art but also the area of Ravel with its ancient building and colourful locals. If you want to get a real feel for a place I always recommend street art tours. This one will not disappoint
Heather_R, Jun 2022
Our guide was so knowledgeable and personable. There were only the two of us on the tour and she still put it on. We saw some amazing works of art- that change daily, weekly, or monthly. She was great - would recommend!
Ted_O, May 2022
The tour was interesting and gave us a different story about Barcelona and the Raval neighborhood. Our tour guide was incredible - exceptionally knowledgeable and a great storyteller. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an off-the-beaten-path way to view the city.

I loved learning about the different types of street art in Barcelona. The guide was a wealth of knowledge about the different neighborhoods.

Bonjour. Nous sommes désolés de votre expérience mais je confirme que vous êtes bien rentrés dans le Raval lors de ce tour, l’actualité street art étant ce qu’elle était au moment de votre passage et l’interêt artistique étant une notion subjective. Le tour s’est enrichi depuis, nous espérons vous revoir pour le partager avec vous
