This is one of, if not the best, tours we have ever done. Our guide Jay was an absolute expert - incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, interesting, and engaging. He truly bought the city to life through the street art and the stories behind there making. I cannot recommend this enough and I found it way more engaging than a traditional walking tour because you learn about the city through the art.
The art itself is one of a kind and truly unique to Bogota - we were stunned by the talent and creativity of the pieces, and equally captivated by the messages and concepts behind them. Because the guide works in the community and alongside the artists he really knows about every piece on the tour and you get an amazing insight into the street art scene on the ground and even the chance to meet some of the artists!
We learnt so much about the techniques, materials, and resources of graffiti and street art, but also about the funding and legality of installations in Bogota and the social and political backdrop of the art. The independent studio/gallery that the tour is linked to, and which you get to go to at the end, is also super cool.
Thank you...
