The Street Art Tour with Gerardo was a very enjoyable and educational experience for us! We brought our dachshund along and he was also quite happy with the tour. The walk is quite manageable for little dogs. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to learn more about the local culture and check out some great street art. After this tour, we started noticing a lot more of it around the city.

The tour was very well presented and the guide was extremely knowledgable about the artwork, general history of street art, and the context of the artwork in the local area. It was a great way to see a different side to the city and understand the artwork you may just otherwise pass by. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience! Well trained guide!

We loved this Street Art tour in Lavapiés (neighbourhood near Atocha station), the tour guide was well trained and knew every piece of art and artist he presented. Very well done and we liked the way the tour was built, it started at a well known train/metro station (easy to find) and finished elsewhere, at another metro station.
