RiNo Street Art & Murals Walking Tour | Craft Beer Tasting Included
What You'll Experience
🎨World-Class Murals You'll Actually Understand​
RiNo's murals range from intimate neighborhood tributes to multi-story collaborations by artists with international reputations. Our guides don't just point at them — they tell you who made them, the sotry and inspiration behind them, and what they mean in the context of Denver's history and RiNo's evolution as a neighborhood. The difference between seeing a mural and understanding it is huge and we keep the stories fun, light and focused on the good stuff. Locals who've lived near RiNo for years even tell us this tour changed how they see it.
🎨Hidden Alleyways That Don't Appear on Any Map
RiNo's most extraordinary street art isn't always on the main streets. It's tucked into activated art alleyways, painted on walls that face away from foot traffic, and stacked on buildings most people never look up at. Our guides know exactly where to find it — and they'll take you to pieces that sometimes require an insider to locate.
🎨The Stories Behind the Art
Every stop on our route has a story that goes well beyond the colors and image on the wall. From the unsanctioned origins of Denver's street art movement to the cultural conversations happening in real time on RiNo's walls, our guides connect the art to the city, the artists, and the moments in history that produced it. You'll leave with a completely different understanding of what street art is — and what it's for.
🎨Craft Beer Tasting at a Local RiNo Brewery
The tour has a mid-point break at one of RiNo's most beloved craft breweries — and your ticket already includes a tasting flight of three 4 oz. pours of your choice, or a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice. It's the perfect afternoon/early evening out in one of Denver's best neighborhoods, and a natural jumping-off point for dinner, more brewery hopping, or simply staying put for another round.
Denver Graffiti Tour + Beer Tasting Overview
Denver's RiNo neighborhood is covered in world-class murals — and most people walk right past the best ones.
This two-hour guided walk through the River North Art District (RiNo) takes you beyond the main streets and into the hidden alleyways, storied corners, and culturally significant walls that make RiNo one of the most celebrated street art destinations in the country. Your local guide brings it all to life — the artists, the stories, the history of the neighborhood, and the meaning behind the murals — while keeping it fun and lighthearted.
​
If you're the type that likes a little bit of everything: art, culture, & great stories that make The Mile High City come alive; this tour's for you.
There's a break mid-point in the tour at a local craft brewery. A tasting flight of three 4 oz. pours — or a non-alcoholic beverage of your choice — is included in your ticket.
Because the best way to experience two hours in RiNo is exactly like this: hidden art, laughs, a-ha moments, and some great craft brews.

Jon P. "I wasn't sure what to expect, as my friend booked this. It was our favorite thing we did while we were in Denver! Seeing Denver's graffiti with a local was a blast. We felt like we were getting to do something a little more unique, exclusive and behind-the-scenes then some of the other activities we did in Denver. We're not even super into art, but we totally have a new appreciation of street art now. We fell in love with the RiNo neighborhood and ending up staying there for dinner and for some brewery hopping after the tour thanks to the recommendations from our guide."
