Hola!
Welcome to Chile's first (yes, the pie-o'neer) and most infamous (loved, hated and feared), astonishing (oohs and aahs), underrated and over-ripe, overly-copied and illmatic Street Art & Graffiti Tour business (drumroll, please): Valpo Street Art Tours.
The tourism industry is always changing, and we were there when it started to shift. Not everyone wanted to get on a bus, collect strangers from ten different hotels, and "see the sights." -- Some people wanted to connect with locals and experience a city from the inside rather than through a foggy window. So we went out and made it happen. We walked through the urban wilderness. We gathered information and held some artists in a room against their will until they answered all of our questions.
This was back in 2011.
Valparaíso, or "Valpo" as we call it, is home to some of the most talented writers and muralists in South America, and our goal is simple: take you to the underground, the streets, the alleyways, and the staircases, and show you a side of the city that very few visitors get to see. Valparaíso is both the cultural capital of Chile and the graffiti capital of Chile. If you've somehow found your way here, stick around and join us for a walk through the city we love. Just don't call it "Val-pa." That's the same weird vibe as putting tropical fruit on pizza.

We made it to TripAdvisor's Hall of Fame and then Covid happened, so, between 2020 and 2023 they treated us like some ex-girlfriend that some Australian guy used to know.

SMALL PRINT:
The best part of Valparaíso isn't painted on the walls—it's the people behind them. Thank you for supporting local guides, artists, and independent businesses.

Reasons to take one of our tours:
- You'll walk through narrow streets and staircases that most people don't get to see, unless they were kidnapped (it sounds better in person). - You'll meet local urban artists from Valparaíso or that moved here to paint the city some more. - You'll have the chance to bring some original pieces back home - Special Group Rates on Private Tours; Save upto 50% depending on your group size. - Everytime you take our tour, you help a local street kid (like we were at some point) get out of crime and get into urban art.
