Excellent - Excellent tour. Our guide was a history university lecturer in BA. Learned and saw so much we wouldn’t normally on our own.

I was very surprised - This was not my choice in tour but I have to admit I learned more than expected. I took this tour because my husband wanted to, I was really glad we did. The guide was pleasant and informative. This tour is by van and walking for the majority of it.

Highlight of 3-day visit to Buenos Aires - Well organized, well informed walk and bus tour of a vibrant, highly original street art scene in attractive residential neighborhoods. The public art movement highlighted by this tour is underappreciated in Buenos Aires and interntationally. I recommend this experience highly to first time as well as knowledgeable English-speaking visitors and to new arrivals to the Buenos Aires.

Urban street art - If you like art, you'll like this and you get more opportunities to explore an uncommon part of the city, to include a art exhibit where you can support some of the local artists.

Good Idea, Poor Execution - We went on the street art tour on our second-to-last day in BsAs. Looking back, I wish we had spent our time doing something else. A tour of street art seems a novel idea, but the actual experience was poorly planned and executed. Of the three hours, we spent maybe one hour actually looking at and discussing graffiti. Because the graffiti is dispersed throughout the city, each wall is followed by a five-to-ten minute walk or drive. If this is your first day in BsAs and the weather is kind, maybe you'll be content just to roam. Don't get me wrong, there were a handful of very cool paintings, but we also skipped several I thought might be noteworthy--not sure if the tour guide didn't have any background on these pieces or they were anonymous works. The actual narration on the few pieces we did see were wishy-washy: some loose connection made to modern Argentinian culture, but not very coherent. At some point, we spent half an hour at Graffitimundo's 'gallery'. That ended up being a few rooms with a pretty shoddy job of poster-hanging. Another rep of theirs walked us through and the experience was basically a sales pitch on their collection, which cost $50-150 per poster. This was when I understood the motivation behind the tour. We even waited outside for five minutes because they weren't ready for us when we got there. They are a non-profit organization, and they say that some of the proceeds of the tour go towards supporting the artists. I could get behind this, but forgive me for being a little skeptical. Maybe this tour would do better to focus on the history of the Palermo neighborhood and work the graffiti into some greater context. They definitely need to plan the route better to keep it entertaining. I also wouldn't describe eighteen people as a "small group tour".

Dont waste your money - Weve done a couple of street art tours before and this one was pretty lame. They only showed us the artist they represented and saw like 4 murals. Its a shame cause BA was a lot of street art and we just didnt learn anything new. The ones they showed us didnt need a lot of explanation.

No Show Scam - Tour guide never showed up. Never called. Never replied. Typical Buenos Aires disorganization. But Viator owes me a refund and also has not replied to my messages. Stay away from this scam.

Horrible! Not honest! NO SHOW FOR TOUR - Do not book this tour! They sent me a message confirming a phone conversation that we never even had. After they did not show up for the tour they rescheduled my tour for Saturday (we left BA on Friday) . Never answered any of the phone numbers we had when we were trying to reach them. Please do not spend your time or money on this tour!
