The Experience

What makes this tour different is that you're walking past murals the guide's organization actually funded and organized. Buenos Aires Street Art has been running these tours for over a decade, and the income from each one goes back into sponsoring new mural projects around the city. That means the guide isn't just pointing out street art—they're showing you work they helped bring into existence, and they can tell you the story behind each piece in a way a typical tour operator can't.

The route moves through Villa Urquiza and Coghlan in the northwest part of Buenos Aires, neighborhoods that sit outside the usual tourist circuit. You'll see one of the city's biggest murals, then move through areas filled with work by both international and local street artists. The tour also passes an artist's studio decorated with 1980s electronic gadgets and an abandoned psychiatric clinic, so the walk mixes pure street art with the texture of the neighborhoods themselves. By the end you're in Coghlan, where bars, cafes and restaurants line the streets.

Tours leave at 2pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The walk takes 2.5 hours and covers ground at a pace suitable for all fitness levels. You'll have a professional English-speaking guide the whole way, and the route is wheelchair accessible. If you're traveling with infants or small children, strollers work fine on these streets.
