Lasts around 1 hour 45. Lots to see, lots of information, move around the town so get to pass by shops, cafes etc you may want to re-visit. Tour guide was great.

Very nice and fun tour. Nice for the price. The tour guide was extremely i formative and engaging. The area is hip and energetic to hang out in.
Julian_G, Mar 2026
excellent city tour with the best guide for the city. He show us the real look and feel of this neighbourhood in buenos aires!.. He was not only knowledgeable but lightly funny without being too much.

This was a wonderful way to experience the color and life of the Palermo area of Buenos Aires. Vito was a terrific guide — enthusiastic, funny, informative and a great storyteller. We loved it, in spite of the very warm weather; we would highly recommend this tour.
Stefanie_H, Mar 2026
Vito was very enthusiastic and articulate, and let us on an illuminating tour of murals and graffiti in the Palermo area. Despite the heat, it was fun, and Vito has a great sense of humor!
Louise_M, Mar 2026
We took our time being guided between different forms of street art. Victor was knowledgeable about art, its forms & the specific artists. I found it fascinating. Well worth doing.
Robert_S, Mar 2026
The artwork was amazing. The history of the artists and taggers was very interesting. The stories of the taggers and artists was very interesting. Really enjoyable.
Benjamin_H, Feb 2026
There were WAY too many people. ~75% of the way through, I counted 32. That's too many people to be able to take unblocked pictures, too many people to be able to view the piece when the guide starts talking. The sidewalk often has trees taking up space. There is only room for 1 person. ..if someone is coming the other way, it's even harder to catch up. Limit your group to 10.
Also, it started to feel like a "guided tour of Pinta and a few others". At one point, the guide said you're going to love the next piece. I found myself thinking. "It better not be a Pinta".
Melanie_E, Feb 2026
This was a GREAT tour!! Loved every second of it. The are is beautiful and Juan was an excellent guide!! Would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again myself.
Cathy_B, Feb 2026
This gentleman has a great sense of humor! We covered a lot of territory and saw fantastic graffiti and murals throughout the Palermo neighborhoods! So glad I went!
Jacqueline_B, Feb 2026
A really good tour with a great knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Great to walk the city and see things I would not have noticed myself.
gill_p, Jan 2026
Very knowledgeable and interesting. Saw some great works of art and also streets we’d never seen before.
Brian_S, Jan 2026
Our guide was Juan, had Freddie Mercury looks very friendly and likeable a little fast not quite enough time for pictures. However worth doing!
katrina_w, Jan 2026
It’s a great tour to do to understand the stories and reason of each piece of graphic design, as opposed to just walking by! 2 hours was great time for the tour.
Andrew_G, Dec 2025
I thought the street art was very mediocre. There really wasn’t anything on the tour that really jumped out at me and offered a defining experience. The guide was good, but showing murals sponsored by NGOs isn’t that exciting.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the murals. The graffiti tour is very dynamic. As you may know, urban art is ephemeral: murals exist in public spaces and, over time, they fade and are painted over again.
The Palermo area has a high concentration of urban art, and during the tour we try to show everything that is happening in the neighborhood, from small interventions to larger-scale murals. Some of the murals are painted by an NGO, but they are especially interesting because the artist who creates them is a young woman with different abilities, which makes her a unique artist.
Those who join this tour in a few years will surely see completely different murals, as the tour is simply a reflection of the ever-changing reality of the neighborhood.
Best regards

Thought we would just walk around with the guide seeing the graffiti. Instead we learned so much about all the artists and styles. Loved it and the guide was brilliant!
DIANE_L, Sep 2025
Juan was an excellent guide. His English is very good The stories behind the murals are so interesting. You would have no idea what you are looking at if you do not have a guide. Definitely worth doing!
John_D, Aug 2025
Great walking tour around Palermo! Weather was beautiful and Vito was very knowledgeable about the artists and the art.
Yvonne_O, Apr 2025
We arrived just before 3pm and met the guide as arranged. However he informed us that the tour would not start until 3.15. The tour was scheduled to last 2hours, however it finished at 5pm. We found the guide very difficult to understand as he spoke very quickly. It was disappointing that the first part of the tour focused exclusively on football graffiti and during the tour the guide repeatedly passed by extraordinary good street art without stopping. We have seen exceptional street art in Buenos Aires but felt that this tour did not do justice to the range and quality of local art. We felt that the guide was not particularly interested in sharing street art information and we would not recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the Graffiti Tour. The tour lasts two hours, although depending on the group’s pace and curiosity, there is always a flexibility of around 10 minutes more or less. This is completely normal, as every group moves at its own rhythm, and factors such as the weather, traffic lights, or other elements can slow down or speed up the tour.
Regarding the football murals: in Argentina, football is extremely important to people. We won the last World Cup after more than 30 years of waiting, and for the vast majority of people here, it was the happiest day of their lives. Naturally, in a country so passionate about the sport, its artists will reflect that on the streets.
We understand that if you're not a big fan of football, this theme might feel a bit repetitive. However, the murals are constantly changing according to the topics of the moment, and the tour evolves continuously to reflect the most recent events. We also showcase many other murals on different themes.
The selection of murals is always changing, as some are painted over and new ones appear, so in that sense, this may be the only tour that always offers a different route.

Guide was knowledgeable about the area and the art. My husband and I enjoyed the two hour walking tour.
Steve_W, Apr 2025
We really enjoyed this tour and seeing Palermo and the art in the area. Really fun and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly.
Caroline_D, Mar 2025
The tour was excellent. Juan, our guide, was the best, very personable and knowledgeable about the art as well as history and culture of BA.
Michael_R, Mar 2025
its great walking through city suburbs and be advised about what is happening there. The tour guide was fabulous very knowledgeable Definitely I would like to have him again guiding though another tour
MaryAnn_S, Feb 2025
Our guide, Vito, was knowledgable and entertaining. He was excellent. The group size was way too big, between 40-50 people. Couldn’t see much of the artwork until people moved along. Broke up the flow a bit.
Neil_C, Feb 2025
Vito was a great guide and adeptly managed a big group with a sizable component of elderly people who didn't seem to get the nature of the tour (street art).
Emma_J, Jan 2025
My sister and I enjoyed this tour of street art in palermo! Vito was adorable and energetic, as well as clearly passionate about the subject matter and Argentina. Although the tour was maybe not as in depth or detailed as an art buff may want, it provided a great overview for your normal tourist, highlighting the differences between street art and graffiti, giving a taste of the different styles of Argentinian graffiti, and touching on contemporary Argentinian culture (including fútbol)!
Robin_B, Jan 2025
Loved this walk through Palermo and intro to wall muralists of vibrant fun neighborhood! Took us through the alleys to see legends, heroes, and important historical moments immortalized through art
Catherine_S, Jan 2025
So much street art to see! Such beautiful works of art. Much more walking than I expected and the day was warm. The guide was very entertaining. The group was large, but our guides microphone worked well.
Joan_C, Jan 2025
Our tour was on a super hot sunny day and most of the tour was in the direct sunlight. There were +30 people in the group which was not idea. The guide was enthusiastic, but after I'd heard the history of the area and graffiti in general, I didn't find it terribly interesting. This would be a good tour if you are PASSIONATE about graffiti - but note, it does not include much street art in the form of Murals.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hi! Thank you for your feedback.
The tour is obviously designed for people who enjoy graffiti and street art. Unfortunately, we can’t do much about the hot weather in the summer. However, we usually stop in shaded areas for the explanations, giving you the opportunity to take pictures or view the murals from the best vantage points. You’re welcome to stay in the shade during the explanations and step into the sun for photos, or alternate as you prefer.
Ogenna_A, Jan 2025
Juan was an excellent tour guide, and was very knowledgeable about the murals and Street Art throughout Palermo. The 2 hour tour went by faster than I thought it would, but we spent quite a bit of time waiting in certain areas due to the rain and hail! While I’d recommend this tour, I think it can be improved by limiting the amount of people or issuing lanyards at the beginning of the tour. I think there were probably 40-50 people total, with more people randomly joining along the way - with or without tickets…
