Great tour and fantastic tour guide - Lorena. Lots of information about the graffiti and murals.

C
Carolina – United States

Loved this mural tour! We got to learn about the artist process as our guide showed us supplemental videos about each mural. We saw a series from one of the muralists I loved the most, and got to spend a little bit of time looking around the Calendaria market too. The guide was professional and talked to us about the local artists, we even got to meet some of them too!
