About

This tour is similar to our Denver Graffiti Original Tour, but we will explore the other end of the RiNo Art District, up by the RTD Station at 38th and Blake Sts.

This two-hour walking tour is an incredibly unique way to experience Denver's urban side. It explores the story behind Denver's best murals and the artists who created them, as well as the political and cultural dynamics inherent in a rapidly growing city.

Unlike our Denver Graffiti Original Tour, this tour is currently only available on Saturdays.

More Information

Denver Graffiti North RiNo Tour is roughly 2 miles, 20 blocks and 5,000 steps (for you Apple Watch/FitBit watch wearers).

  • We talk about ~ 25-35 murals and street art pieces in the RiNo Art District, depending on the day.
  • We take a brief break in the middle of the tour for drinks and restrooms.
  • It is over flat city blocks, but does go through some alleys. We have found that it is accessible for most people, even those with walkers or canes -- as long as they are capable of 2 hours and a slow ~ 2 miles.

What to Bring?

  • Denver gets crazy amounts of sun. Please bring sunblock/sunglasses/hats/water.
  • During the summer, it's not a bad idea to bring an umbrella to block the sun.
  • During the winter and spring, it's smart to wear layers as the weather can change quickly.

The tour is held in English. But, we do have Spanish-speaking guides. Please contact us if you’d like to ensure you have one.

** NOTE: Minimum tour size is 2 people, so the very first booking for a tour must be at least 2 people. If you are unable to book, this might be the reason. Contact us for help. **
