Every day we walk past a secret language that every modern city has become fluent in. Whether you are new to graffiti, or simply new to the Dublin scene, our tour is the perfect place to get to know the local talent.
As far back as human beings have had walls to draw on, we’ve been doing it. From cave-painters to street-taggers, Graffiti has a universal attraction and a long love-hate story with city officials. Come delve into the details of Dublin’s graffiti scene and find out just how fuzzy the line can be between the legal murals and ‘illegal’ graffiti that color the Hibernian Metropolis.

Discover a different side of Dublin

5.00Street art walking tours are one of my favorite ways to learn about the culture, social concerns, and styles of expression of a community when I travel. Liam was an exceptional guide! Clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about not only graffiti as an art form, but the pieces that he showed on the tour. I particularly appreciated the additional context of the pieces and backgrounds of the artists that he introduced me to. If you’re looking for a way to explore a different side of Dublin, I highly recommend this tour!
Definitely worthwhile

5.00Excellent use of my precious Dublin time - Liam did a wonderful job sharing details I’d never have known just walking around & looking at street art on my own. The backstory took it to another level; a great way to learn more about Ireland’s history & current cultural environment. Absolutely worthwhile. Honestly, it should be more expensive for what you learn (tipping the guide is a “must” for such an info-packed tour!).

5.00I enjoyed the two hour walk through the streets and alleyways on both sides of the bridge. Jo was our guide and he kept us engaged to the end. Thank you Jo for the insights. 🙏
So fun!

5.00I recently did the Street Art Tour with Alternative Dublin, as well as the special edition, St. Brigid's weekend, Women in Street art. Both were amazing! But the Women in street art was my favourite. I couldn't believe all the street art I'd never noticed while having now been in Dublin for several years. The guides were brilliant and so knowledgeable and passionate about all the pieces they showed us. A special shoutout to Cliodhna, who was absolutely fantastic and answered every question and told loads of great anecdotes . She's such a gem! I've already recommended the tour to friends and will be keeping my eyes peeled for more similar tours from Alternative Dublin. GRMMA xx
