About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sightsee114129266790 contributionsA beautiful walkAn informative tour with many explanations by the very committed guide Cecilia. With a stop at an ice cream parlor for refreshment. A relaxed tour - a nice activity - to get to know Buenos Aires off the beaten track. A lovely afternoon. Booking/reservation and payment are completely uncomplicated. I highly recommend this tour.Written 23 April 2024
- BJohnbear0 contributionsBest street art tour in BAWether or not you’re new to street art, Matt’s tour is outrageously good. I have always found areas with Street Art the best way to get to know what lives in a city, how vibrant it is, what makes it tick. I’ve been exploring street art all over the world for years, and was impressed: Matt has a vast knowledge of artists and techniques and a wonderful way of sharing some of BA’s great street art scene. I loved his tour, loved his suggestions to explore other areas in BA, and thoroughly enjoyed meeting Matt. 5+ stars.Written 2 January 2024
- Voyage560303813090 contributionsOne of the Best Street Art Tours in the WorldI was in Buenos Aires 8 years ago and did a tour with BA Street Art Tours. IT was so fantastic that when I knew we were going back, I immediately booked a private tour with them... They did not disappoint. Matt is a fabulous and knowledgeable guide..He showed us a totally new and different tour than our first...and just as interesting. I have done street art tours all over the world and this has not be one of my favorites. What sets them apart is that they know many of the artists and background of the art that we see. In addition, he made suggestions of street art in my neighborhood that I could go to on my own (which I did and he was spot on). I will always tie this company with my trips to BA. Can't recommend them enough.Written 30 December 2023
- Romy I0 contributionsTour guide with cred who actively supports living street artMatt was rad! He wrote a book on Buenos Aires street art so it was great talking to him about different topics such as the relationship of the Brazilian street art scene to Argentina. Not only does the tour show a cool suburb outside of the normal tourist circles it actively supports living street art - matt and his organization regularly host artists both domestic and international to make new pieces ! They also work with building owners and the city to create more cool street art. I loved it - the pieces range across all forms from Wheat paste to murals to aerosol and even mixes of both in the same piece ! Highly recommended !Written 27 November 2023

- TinaM45830 contributionsGraffiti and Street Art Walking TourExcellent guide and view of local middle class neighborhood in Buenos-Aires and their love for the arts! We even saw graffiti in the works by 3 men from New York. It was very Banksy.Written 15 February 2020
- JJJulianaM0 contributionsAuthentic Cultural AdventureWe were lucky enough to book a private tour by car with Matt, the founder of this incredible organization. Matt is gracious, very knowledgable, and well connected in the global street art community. He didn't just show us dozens of works of art; he told us the historical, aesthetic and personal stories behind them. In many cases, he had organized the commissions directly with the artists and city or private residents. I began photographing street art in the Southern Cone in the late 90's as a hobby and it's been 10 years since my last visit. Matt made it a rich and insightful experience tailored to our interests. My family (husband and 6yo son) agreed it was a major highlight of our 2-week trip. Perhaps the best part: Matt surprised us by offering my son a chance to do some spray painting of his own on a wall in a park along the way. Don't miss this opportunity!Written 5 February 2020
- notaminger0 contributionsInsiders info on Murals and street art of BALocally based guide Matt has extensive knowledge of the current mural and street art scene. He’s tuned in, articulate, and with his background in art history and architecture and a keen interest in politics, this is the tour to take.Written 27 January 2020
- Sdofdc0 contributionsGreat tour and guidesReally fun and engaging tour. Gets you to different areas of the city and visits interesting examples of street art. Matt and Cecelia were both great and took very good care of us. Highly recommend this tour to get a new perspective on BA.Written 11 January 2020
- 851trotter0 contributionsGreat tourWe spent a wonderful and interesting 2 or 3 hours with Matt on the tour. We’re not particularly into street art itself but the tour sounded interesting and different, and he brought the tour to life with descriptions and background to all the pieces, which gave a sense of the recent history of Buenos Aires and cultural influences. Thoroughly recommended !Written 5 January 2020
- JKent123450 contributionsFantastic Street Art Tour!We had an awesome time on this tour -- Cecilia was so friendly, and incredibly knowledgable about the local street art scene. We also really appreciated that it took us out to a neighborhood that is off the beaten tourism path. Such a lovely day to spend an afternoon visiting Buenos Aires!Written 15 December 2019

- BrunoB63420 contributionsGreat experience!We were a large group with a 12s futbol team visiting Argentina for a tournament and this was one of the highlights! The tour kept all of the kids interested and was also a nice way to see the real streets of Palermo. Matt was knowledgeable and full of fun facts to keep everyone in the group engaged. The experience was so good that even our local Argentinian futbol coach decided to take the rest of his family on it afterwards!Written 8 October 2019
- ciscoap0 contributionsBA street artWe had a wonderful time. Matt was extremely knowledgeable with the art in the neighborhoods we visited. The city is full of street art and Matt seems to know where they are at. He knew where all the art was at that we asked for. I definitely recommend doin this tour especially if you like street art.Written 8 October 2019

I came to Buenos Aires years ago. This was one of the best “walks” I’ve ever done. A vibrant art scene in a charming neighborhood and “off circuit” the quality of the guide is the differential. In addition to knowing street art he professionally “lives” it. I recommend the experience to everyone regardless of whether you are first time visitors or frequent visitors.

Matt, a british citizen established in BA for over a decade took our small group in a street art tour of the neighborood where he lives. As the founder of BA street art association he knows all the stories behind the murals we see, who are the artists, their inspiration, how the owners liked the works and all about the technics. Lots of insights too about the neighborood I would never have visited otherwise.

We had a great time on this tour. We were a group of four and we took the subway and the bus from the San Telmo area of BA to the tour starting location. It was interesting to go out of the main core to another part of the city.
Matt was a fabulous tour guide and kept us moving around and discovering different genres of street art.
After the tour he sent us links to other street art in the city including the San Telmo area where we were staying. We recognized other murals created by the same artists that we had seen on the tour. As we continued to explore BA in the following days we saw lots more street art but now had very useful background information.

Outstanding tour. Great for everyone who wants to see more than just Palermo and the downtown neighborhoods. Matt is a great guide - a real street art aficionado who helps organize murals and is part of the BA street art scene.

My friend and I loved our private tour with Cecilia, an Argentinian artist who speaks English very well. She was knowledgeable, friendly and gracious and led us on a memorable tour of the BA street art district. We even saw Murals in progress.
We lucked out on the private tour as other people had canceled but the tour is well worth it even with a larger group.
Tip generously, the tour is around 2- 2.5 hours long and covers a lot of ground with a wonderful local guide.
Also, Ask Cecilia about other Art experiences in Argentina!

Our Tour Guide was absolutely delightful! We were a small group of only 4 people and she held us in awe the whole Tour with her knowledge of the artists and their technical handwork and because of her personal enthusiasm for the subject itself.
We stopped at a small Cafe, on our request, about the middle of the tour, and enjoyed the delicious coffee and snack but especially the company of our guide and fellow companions! A marvellous afternoon with spektakular murals and topped off with a refreshing ice cream at the end!
We highly recommend this Tour and Cecilia, our guide!
Thank you for the story behind the scenes.

One of the best walking tours I've done, anywhere. The tour had a great pace, and the guide was friendly, knowledgable, and had really interesting insights and comprehensive knowledge about each piece of street art that we saw. There were a mix of styles and artists, and we learned quite a bit about the city along the way.

An excellent and informative tour that also teaches a lot about Argentinian culture, politics and the society, using street art as the means to inform you about those things. I know a great deal about street art - I have written and photographed a book on the subject - and this tour did not disappoint. Matt, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable and very interesting and very much involved with the street artists in the city. I highly recommend this tour, even if you don't think you are much interested in street art. You will learn a lot that will help inform the rest of your stay in Argentina.

This tour was a great way to spend a few hours in Buenos Aires! The lovely and passionate Cecilia was a knowledgeable guide, and I had a great time talking with her and our intimate group. I got to explore beautiful works of art and the city of Buenos Aires and I met some really interesting people. I would recommend this for solo travelers or families as a fun alternative museum experience.

We are so glad we listened to a friend that recommended Matt and his Street Art Tour. We did a private tour with a driver and saw so much in a few hours. Matt is a wealth of information about the art, the neighborhoods, and the artists. He listened to our interests and tailored the street art we saw to us. Not only did we enjoy seeing and learning about the street art but it is a fantastic way to see parts of BA you would probably never see as a visitor. Highly recommend!!!
