“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…”

“This was one of the most enjoyable tours my wife and I have ever been on. David is an excellent guide, full of knowledge and passion not just for the street art, but also for the history of the city and its people. He was welcoming and engaging and it was a pleasure to cycle through the narrow little streets around the old town seeing and Learning things we would never have found ourselves.
