Will I actually meet a graffiti artist, or is it just photos?

Yes, the tour includes a hands-on session with a local artist who will teach you graffiti techniques and share insights into their practice and motivations. This is a working interaction, not a staged demonstration.

Is this tour safe? Are we visiting 'dangerous' neighborhoods?

The tour covers established street art zones (Vila Madalena, Paulista Avenue, downtown) that are well-trafficked by tourists and locals. Your private guide provides context and navigation expertise specific to current conditions.

How much walking is involved?

Expect 2–3 hours of walking interspersed with driving segments. You'll navigate backstreets and alleys to access murals, so comfortable shoes are essential. Most activity is at street level with some steps in older downtown areas.

What's the difference between graffiti and murals—will I learn that?

Yes. Your guide explains the codes, styles, and cultural distinctions, including tags, pieces, throw-ups, and commissioned murals. Meeting an artist adds real context to these distinctions.

Can the tour be customized to focus on specific neighborhoods or art movements?

As a private tour, it can be tailored to your interests. Discuss preferences when booking—whether you want contemporary work, historical pieces, specific districts, or particular art movements.

What's included in the EUR 318 price?

Private transportation, a knowledgeable guide for 5 hours, and hands-on artist interaction. Confirm what's covered (meals, tips, art supplies for workshop) when booking, as pricing may vary by group size.

our guide Jonas was brilliant and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in Crete.
