Hidden Mural Tour | Airbnb Guided Walking Tour
Are you looking for a fun excursion in D.C.? Are you a lover of all things Hip-Hop culture? Here at Words Beats and Life, we have the perfect opportunity for you!
Explore the vibrant streets of D.C. in an Airbnb social impact experience that unearths D.C.'s best street art and its untold story.
Spend the afternoon with us on a guided walking tour through some of D.C.’s most diverse neighborhoods. On this tour, uncover the hidden beauty of the Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, U Street, or Georgia Avenue neighborhoods. You will learn all about the murals, architecture, and street art that characterize the neighborhood.
This tour will allow D.C. residents and visitors alike to learn the stories behind public art hidden around corners in alleyways, overlooked rooftops, and major roadways. There is so much beauty in these three communities that goes unnoticed.
What to Expect:
This walking tour is roughly two hours long. Our tours will start at WBL’s offices, walking throughout the neighborhood and to surrounding communities. A great way to explore Washington DC!
We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothes, and sunblock. And don’t forget a camera for photos!
Guests ages five and up can attend, up to 8 guests total. Parents can bring children under two years of age.
All participants are required to present proof of vaccination to enter our experiences. And a photo that matches the one on your ID to confirm who’s actually going on this experience.

“Mazi opened our eyes to being able to discover and decode so many of the hidden gems in our neighborhoods, including the evolution of the locality, its people and street art culture and its nuances. Mazi was personable, insightful and the murals were in places we would not have ever found - really unique experience and right in front of our eyes. Highly recommend!”
