Philadelphia Mural Tours with Mural Arts Philadelphia

Philadelphia's streets offer more than history; they are open-air galleries showcasing public art that speaks to the city's culture and identity. Mural Arts Philadelphia stands at the forefront of this creative movement, offering walking and trolley tours that bring the vibrant, large-scale murals of Philly's neighborhoods to life. From Center City's dense urban core to South Philadelphia’s storied blocks, their tours invite participants to experience art as a form of civic dialogue and community expression.

Guests can join curated experiences like the “Magical Manayunk Mural Tour,” which reveals the whimsical and thought-provoking murals decorating this historic neighborhood, or the “South Philadelphia’s Endless Pastabilities Tour,” blending culinary heritage with artistic storytelling. The “Mural Mile Center City Walking Tour” breathes life into the downtown corridor’s public art, while the trolley tours—such as the “Masterpieces East” and “Masterpieces West” routes—offer a comfortable ride through iconic and emerging artworks spanning broad swaths of the city.

What sets Mural Arts Philadelphia apart is its unique integration of art with social themes. Tours like “Murals And Democracy: The People's Public Art” spotlight works that engage political and community conversations, making each mural more than just a colorful image—it’s a piece of Philadelphia’s evolving narrative.

With options for an artist talk—featuring creators like Meg Saligman—and new offerings such as photography courses paired with walking tours, every visit cultivates a deeper connection to the city’s creative spirit. Whether you’re a local or visiting, these thoughtfully guided tours unlock Philadelphia’s streets as a living museum where art and urban life intersect.

The company’s commitment to education and the community positions it as a standout in Philadelphia’s outdoor cultural experiences, offering fresh perspectives on places you might walk past every day but never truly see.
