Great guide and history tour of rio Street art and its culture a tour that kept one's interest throughout in an amazing city with amazing art.

Our tour guide was a passionate art lover who taught us about the art we saw and the artists themselves. She made the art installations come to life!!

Best Viator Tour Yet!

Richard_W, May 2025
We are lucky enough to have been on many Viator Tours in several different countries. However, this was a truly memorable tour led by a passionate and hugely knowledgeable guide with a lovely personality. She clearly loves her work and is more than happy to share her considerable expertise in a down-to-earth and unpretentious fashion. Nina was bang on time for the tour while we went to the incorrect Metro Station nearby! Needless to say, she found us quickly. The afternoon passed far too soon, yet we saw more Street Art than we could possibly have hoped for during that time. And my wife was actually recognising several of the artists by the end. Nina had one surprise attraction for us but that will remain a tour secret! I would simply encourage other travellers to take this tour and find out for themselves. Highly recommended.

Awesome street art tour

Hannah_P, Nov 2024
Nina has a lovely personality, is passionate about street art, shared a lot of information about Rio, neighborhoods, murals, artists, etc. She was great at checking in with us to see if we needed to rest or get water. I have already recommended her, you’d have a great experience!

A Very Knowledgeable Guide

Geoffrey_W, Nov 2024
Nina provides an excellent tour. She is incredibly knowledgeable about current Brazilian artists and works to help you identify the artists whose works you are seeing. She took a slight detour to introduce me to the works of Rafamon whose murals I encountered later on the trip.

Extremely overpriced

Spring1972, Mar 2024
Nina is an excellent guide l, very knowledgeable about the tour she is doing, good sense of humor and keeps you engaged l. However, now we realize that this tour is extremely overpriced. We did another street art tour today where the guide was with us for 3 hours and he was willing to take us to Favela for 2 more hours, so we would have paid $120 for 5 to 6 hour tour. At Iguazu Falls, we paid $237 when the guide was with us from 7 am to 6 pm driving us around, using her fuel big time, helping us cross the border and really at our service, so money paid was totally worth. We paid $180 for 2 hour Ipanema beach street art tour when we saw some art and the beach which was nothing compared to what we saw today. I would not pay more than $30-$35 per person ($60- $70 or so for two people) for this tour. It was NOT worth $180 when there is no fuel being used. After being with another private guide yesterday for 8 hours -$270 (who drive us around the whole city), minutes feel like we were robbed on this tour. Does Viator consider partial refund? I will think twice next time.

Nina is a great guide....

Nina Knows Her Art!

Cynthya_L, Dec 2022
We had the best tour! Nina was knowledgable, shared the stories behind the graffiti with us, and told us personal stories about the artists themselves. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Nina was great, a pleasant experience!

Tim_P, Aug 2022
It was a great experience. Nina was a knowledgeable guide, very clear to understand, was a joy to be around, and showed us plenty of talented artwork. I would recommend this to anyone!

Fantastic way to see the city

Anna_W, Jun 2022
I had a great time exploring the street art of Ipanema with Nina last week. She is insanely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and saw as much as the time allowed! It was fantastic to be able to walk around the neighbourhood while learning about Rio and the artists. Highly recommend.

Uitgebreid, unieke plekken waar we anders nooit zouden zijn gekomen. Dina weet zelfs de meest recente ontwikkelingen, ze is onderdeel van de scene.

Extrem tolle, vielseitige und nachhaltig Tour

Carla_Z, Jan 2023
Nina war ein sehr toller Tourguide und wir haben in einer kleiner Gruppe die Werke und Geschichten verschiedener Künstler lebhaft gezeigt/ erzählt bekommen. Dazu haben wir noch viele über die Gegend und die Menschen erfahren. Wir waren absolut begeistert!

Laura_R, Jan 2017
es un tour para los amantes del arte, Además Nina es una maravillosa guía al momento de explicar cada detalle del paseo y demuestra ser una persona amable y con un conocimiento exquisito de su país. Una de las ventajas es que este paseo es personalizado, lo cual permite intercambiar culturas y entender la forma de vida de Brasil y los puntos en común con otros países, en este caso Argentina. Hemos disfrutado este paseo y junto con mi hija lo consideramos el más atractivo. Gracias Nina!!!!
