Aruba Mural Tours

Guided walks through the murals of San Nicolas and the stories behind them.

Why I started it

Once the walls were painted, visitors needed someone to tell them the stories behind them, and the town needed those visitors to stay longer.

What it is

Local guides walk small groups past the murals, telling who painted them, what they mean and how a harbour town became an open-air gallery.

There are morning and afternoon tours, in English and Spanish, with an option to be picked up at your hotel. Every tour ends at ArtisA Gallery, where visitors can see and buy work by the same artists.
