Frequently asked questions

Do I need any previous art experience to join the workshop?

Absolutely not! Most of our guests in Guayaquil have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists are expert teachers who specialize in breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-follow steps. By the time the session ends, you'll be amazed at the masterpiece you've created. We provide all the guidance you need to go from a complete beginner to a confident street artist in just a few hours.

What should I wear and is it safe?

We’ve got you covered. We provide high-quality masks, gloves, and protective ponchos to keep your clothes clean. However, graffiti can sometimes be a bit messy, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny speck of paint on. Avoid your Sunday best just in case! We take safety seriously, using low-odour professional paints and ensuring we work in well-ventilated areas or outdoors.

How long does the graffiti experience last?

Standard workshops usually run between 1.5 to 2.5 hours. This gives us enough time to cover the history of Guayaquil's street art scene, learn basic techniques, practice your 'tag', and complete a final collaborative or individual piece. If you are on a tight travel schedule, let us know – we can often tailor the timing to fit your itinerary perfectly while still ensuring a full, fun experience.

How does the payment process work?

At Graffitifun, we believe in stress-free booking. You don't need to pay anything upfront to secure your spot. We offer a 'pay after the workshop' policy, ensuring you are 100% satisfied with the experience before any money changes hands. This flexibility is perfect for travelers whose plans might shift while exploring Ecuador. Plus, we have backup artists ready to go, so your creative session is never cancelled!

Is this workshop suitable for solo travellers or large groups?

Diversity is our strength! We host solo travellers, couples looking for a unique date, families with kids, and large tour groups. Whether you're a backpacker or on a luxury holiday, the joy of spray painting is universal. It’s a fantastic way to meet people or bond with your travel companions while doing something totally different from the standard 'museum and monument' tours. Everyone from age 6 to 96 is welcome.

Can we choose what we want to paint?

We love creativity! If you have a specific idea or want to create something that represents your journey through Ecuador, let us know. While we have a structured program to help you learn, there is always room for personal flair. Many tourists choose to incorporate local Guayaquil symbols or their own names in a bold graffiti style. Our artists are there to help you bring your specific vision to life.

Where exactly in Guayaquil do the workshops take place?

We operate in several inspiring locations across the city, often near creative hubs or areas known for their vibrant mural culture. Once you book, we'll provide the exact meeting point details. If you're staying in a central hotel or near the Malecon 2000, we can often suggest the most convenient spot. We also offer mobile setups for larger groups who have their own courtyard or outdoor space.
