Experience details
We travel neighborhood streets where color, community, and history meet. These murals are public open-air archives that tell the truth, spark memory, and conversation!
This is a chartered, 2-hour art and mural tour through Historic East Austin for up to 12 guests—designed for folks who want more than a quick photo stop.
If our signature history walks give you a fast highlight reel of public art, this experience slows down so you can truly dive deep into the stories behind the walls.
You’ll encounter vibrant murals that speak to resilience, artistry, and pride—grounded in East Austin’s Black cultural heritage and the everyday brilliance of community life. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and leave with deeper context, new favorite artists, and a more personal connection to the streets you’re riding through.
