The Original Raleigh Murals Tour

This tour is pay-what-you-want ! If you enjoy the tour, please compensate your guide appropriately! CASH OR VENMO PAYMENTS ONLY please! Usually, the guide receives $15 to $20 per adult, but you are free to give more or less than that, depending on how you feel about your tour. As you can imagine, the tour guide has to work hard to earn your appreciation!

Tours have always been pay-what-you-want, but advance registration is now REQUIRED. I need to monitor the number of people on the tour, and I need to be able to communicate with you if the tour needs to be cancelled due to the weather or low signups.

This tour requires a minimum number of signups in order to run! If the minimum number is not reached, the tour will be cancelled. You will receive either a tour confirmation email with some last minute details or a cancellation email through Eventbrite no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the tour. Please check your email the day before the tour and please read any email that you receive about the tour through Eventbrite!

This tour leaves the starting point VERY quickly so that we can start seeing all of the fabulous art, so PLEASE be on time!

This downtown walking tour takes you off the beaten path and shows you some of Raleigh’s best and most vibrant large scale art works! The main focus of the tour is on Raleigh’s creative murals, but we will also see and learn about some other cool public art. Learn about the artists behind our murals and discover what inspired some of this fabulous art. Be sure to bring your camera so that you don’t miss out on all the great photo opportunities!

PLEASE NOTE: This tour lasts approximately 60 minutes, but may be slightly longer depending on the size and speed of the group. We will start outside of the Wake County Justice Center, 300 S. Salisbury St, near the entrance that is closest to the corner of Salisbury and Martin Sts. The tour will end about one block away from the starting point. There will not be any restroom breaks or stops for food/drinks.

Please plan your parking accordingly. Free street parking is available on weekends. If you prefer to park in a deck, the closest parking deck is the Wake County parking deck, located at 216 W. Cabarrus St., on the corners of Davie, McDowell and Cabarrus streets. Vehicular entrances are located on Cabarrus and Davie streets.

The mural in the photo accompanying this listing is entitled Indian Summer and was painted by Louise Jones, a.k.a. Ouizi. Follow Louise Jones on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/0uizi/
