Denver Graffiti Tour — Local services in Denver

This experience was a wonderful addition to our recent trip to Denver. Our tour guide was Nick. He was very knowledgeable and obviously passionate about the Denver graffiti art scene. The art was absolutely amazing. When my broody teenage told me that she learned at lot and that the tour changed her perception of graffiti art, I knew I made a good choice... LOL. Let that be a nod to Nick's teaching powers! Since the tour was 2 hours, we did not cover all the graffiti. There was just too much. I would love if the Denver Graffiti Tour put together a graffiti tour guide with locations and tidbits for people to continue a self guided tour if desired :) Side note...

Our tour guide was kind enough to walk us to our car but that was more so helping us...

The tour was amazing. I got to see so many cool works by a ton of different artists, and learned so much about the history of the neighborhood, the street art scene, the Denver Walls event, and artists themselves. I can't...

Why are there painted sharks all over Denver?? Google it! You’ll never find out! I couldn’t anyway, but I finally did on this phenomenal tour. I learned so much about the local art scene, including the names and stories of artists whose work I’d already been noticing during the first few days of my visit to Denver. I even finally learned who is responsible for the koi fish stencils I’ve seen all over the country for the last lots of years. The guide, Jennifer, was super knowledgeable and friendly and could answer questions about anything. I have been on public art tours all over the country because I love this stuff, and this was absolutely one of my favorites. I was so excited to tell my local friend about the easy-to-recognize artists for her to keep an...
