This walking art tour is something worth seeing. It has history, culture and beautiful art from the locals and international artist. There were so many beautiful pieces, intricate details were embedded in lot of them that tell a story worth hearing. Our tour guide Nico was the best. You can tell he really loves his job. The gallery is very beautiful. San Nicholas is being revamped piece by piece with its art pieces making it beautiful again and coming back to life. This was a definite change from when I first visited the area over 15 years ago. It was a "ghost" town, now it is an awakening and you can feel the vibe of the people. You must go see, because it really started here at this location the essence of Aruba not to be forgotten. Loved it and brought a piece of art back with me.

It immersed you into the art culture of Aruba. It was a great way to see wonderful art and learn about the culture of Aruba at the same time.
Manuel_M, Oct 2025
I found this excursion to be quite refreshing. I truly enjoyed how each piece relayed the message of justice as it related to the community as a whole. Our guide, Nico, was quite knowledgeable and had a pleasant and warm disposition. I would definitely recommend the excursion for anyone who appreciates both gallery and street art.

A must for art buffs and people who appreciate artistry and collaboration.The history behind the tour was very informative and made it far better than just going yourself. And Tito's passion and going the extra mile really tied the whole tour together, as well as picking us up and dropping us off at the end of the tour. Recommended.

Amazing street art murals. Very talented artists. Interesting art galleries and info on the art scene in San Nicolas. Hospitable host.
Joan_B, Feb 2025
This is the best tour to experience the murals of San Nicholas with the man who is behind them all, Tito. He is revitalizing his town with the beautiful murals from artists all over the world. Tito knows the story behind the murals and the artists intimately. This is a valuable and worthwhile tour.

Booked the experience on Monday November 4 around 6pm, for the next day Tuesday at 4pm. I then messaged Tito to confirm the booking. He messaged back and said he couldn't do the tour on Tuesday, that he had a meeting and offered Wednesday. The message was casual and there was no apology offered. Less than 24 hours, so I couldn't cancel myself. Had to contact support for a refund. I don't understand why he didn't just update the availability of the tour to prevent people from booking.

Awesome Experience!! Our tour guide Tito relaunched the entire ARTist scene in Aruba. Lots of beautiful murals and history of St. Nicholas region of the Aruba Island. Don't wait book this Experience Now! Thanks Tito.

It was a wonderful experience looking at and learning the history of each murals that we were able to see(Michelle did a good job for her first time). As for Mr. Tito, I was so inspired by his story and how he had a vision to have an annual Arts fair.
Janet_B, Feb 2024
Tito was our guide, a true story teller and shared the stories of each mural. He is passionate about the art and really puts his heart and soul into the experience. I highly recommend the mural tour.
Rachel_K, Feb 2024
Highly recommend this tour! The art was great and Jean our tour guide added a ton of context to each piece and pointed out things we would have missed. Also glad we did the tour with transport. Overall a great afternoon!
Macy_G, Dec 2023
It's my favourite tour of Aruba. Fantastic art and stories and a very engaging and funny tour guide Tito. Smooth pickup.
Thomas_H, Dec 2023
I really enjoyed this tour. Quite frankly, I booked it by accident, but it was GREAT! It turns out that I have a real interest in Wall Murals, and other artistic endeavors. I got to see a part of Arruba many won't know they missed. The guide gave the stats and an almost gallery type of explanation of the many meanings the murals represented. If you like art, and if you are like me, envious of how artists convey their feelings, this is a worthwhile tour for you.
Monique_E, Nov 2023
Tito and Gene were amazing. Great storytelling. Murals were beautiful. The gallery had a great selection of artist as welll!
Paula_B, Sep 2023
I'd leave zero stars if I could. Was in lobby at 3:50 pm and waited till 4:20 pm to be picked up. Was supposed to been picked up at 4 pm. So, we didn't get to go on the tour since nobody picked us up. I'd like to get a refund if possible, was very disappointed for not being able to go.
Karolin_K, Sep 2023
Great tour!! We learned a lot! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Aruba especially for those whose visiting for the first time!
DAnna_K, Aug 2023
We started with a very lovely and informative ride with Tito’s Mom, Diana, had an amazing experience with Jean, the rollerblading artist, and ended with an introduction to Tito’s sweet 2 month old baby girl! We highly recommend the whole story walking tour as a must to do when in Aruba!
Denise_H, Aug 2023
If you love the Arts, this is a MUST SEE tour! Street Art taken to another level. Imagine walking around a small town and all the walls tell a story. Brilliant idea Tito, of revitalizing a town that was left deserted. Our tour guide Jean was great! The best part was meeting Tito, his mom Diana, and his beautiful new baby girl! My next trip to Aruba will be scheduled around Art week, September! Blessing to you Tito, your family, and all the brilliant artists who tell the story of San Nicolas through their talented street art! ♥️
