“Gary was an excellent guide and his vast knowledge of London street art was interesting, personal and entertaining. He explained the different styles of street art/graffiti as we walked and the best part was going to his studio to experience spray painting on our own. We brought 2 kids with us and they loved trying out the cans of colors on the wall and making their own works. Would do it again!”

The workshop started with a chance to explore the gallery, which is full of amazing prints by an array of Colombian artists. They also sell a line of printed clothing - really interesting work, and a chance to take home an exceptional souvenir. (If you don't take the workshop, you could still have a super visit to the gallery, which is close to the La Perseverancia Market and lots of eating options.) The grafitti workshop took place in a courtyard behind the building, with walls covered by experiments and…”

Juan has led sessions with clear, friendly instruction, and you need no art experience. Spray paint and workshop materials are included. The private format suits families, couples, and small groups.

“This activity was the highlight of our trip. We loved that it was a hands-on experience creating street art. Juan was very informative as we made our brief walk to the art park. We learned about several murals in the city, and about the history of graffiti in general. He is a true artist and not just someone they hire to teach a few skills. He helped us bring a real piece of work to the streets of Barcelona! I highly recommend this trip if you love to create. My two teen boys (15, 16) truly had a great time. I loved that we weren’t standing in line with all…”

Meet your English-speaking graffiti instructor at La Petite Ceinture for a two-hour outdoor workshop. Learn spray-paint control, lettering, and simple street-art techniques, then help create a collective mural on a Paris wall. Guides such as Walter, Adrien, and Vincent have been praised for patience and skill. Participants must be at least 11.

“A great experience to leave a personal trace on a Parisian wall ! If you travel with kids, or in group of (adult) friends and you know all usual places in Paris - this is the thing to do. First the artists explained the basic technics with the spray cans, and we had some time to try it out. Then the whole group worked on painting the picture (letters/words which is cerainly easier to do than a real picture).”

Spend 150 minutes with a Prague graffiti artist such as Tomáš, Kryštof, Matěj, or Sany. Learn local graffiti culture, sketch a design, prepare a legal wall, and turn your ideas into a colorful group mural using professional sprays, caps, masks, and protective clothing.

“Matêj was an awesome teacher! We had expected to go and just spray some walls, but instead actually learned *how* to create a cool wall of graffiti. It was a collaborative piece with every person in our family contributing (which was cool), we learned the process of forming the idea, and then Matêj helped us figure out how to implemented it without doing it for us. I’d highly recommend this activity for all ages and ability levels. If you want to have fun with your teens, do it. It you want to create something cool with your partner, do it. If you want to learn about techniques and tricks of…”

Our guide led us through an old industrial area that has turned into a district of lofts and art spaces — her story was lively and full of surprises. The graffiti activity was fun and refreshing after all the museums. She radiates positivity and truly loves what she does”
