What To Expect

Melrose Avenue

Renowned street artist Colette Miller has painted angel wings all over the world and they’re now considered to be an iconic street art trend. So if you want to get in on the action too, head down to 7769 Melrose Ave where she’s painted the street’s very own pair of wings. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

7769 is a postcode where there’s a load of street art going on; it’s worth coming round here every couple of weeks to see what’s new. One of the best pieces here is of tennis player Billie Jean King and one of her most iconic quotes, part of Meg Zany’s ‘Courage Has No Gender’ campaign. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

If the bold pink of the Pink Wall is a bit too much for you, you’ll probably prefer the calmer turquoise wall. Rather than being one strip of color, this wall balances the turquoise strip with colorful stripes of different colors, giving a feeling of balance and dimension. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

Dedicated to the people of LA rather than tourists, this sign has become one of the city’s favorites. While it may not be as colorful as some of the other murals on this list, Made in LA is still one of the best murals to get those Instagrammable selfies with. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

Featuring two rainbow sizes – one for kids and one for adults – it may initially seem that they are painted onto the wall but they are, in fact, crocheted, making the Rainbows Wall one of the more unique pieces of street art on Melrose. Get a pic in direct sunlight for the best texture effect. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

In an effort to compete with Paul Smith, Carrera Cafe put up their own wall directly across from it. While it always says hello, the theme around it changes pretty often, so keep an eye out for it every time you’re in town! All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

If you’re a dog lover, a visit to the pug mural is a must! This cool-looking pug with sunnies will make a great addition to your Instagram account! All addresses and names are provided in the written guide. All addresses and names are provided in the written guide.

Melrose Avenue

Black and White Mural by RETNA, 8826 The contemporary artist RETNA has a few examples of street art dotted around LA, but it’s this mural which is one of his most famous.

I thought that when you said it was a tour by yourself you were paying to enter or be in exclusive areas to take instagram photos. and that I was not going to pay for a ticket for 2 people. For something that anyone has access, it is absurd that they charge for something that is on the street and nobody pays I feel scamed

Hello Evelyn! We're sorry you expected something else from this self-guided tour. It's written in title of the product, in the product description and inclusion section that it's a self-guided tour, provided in pdf format. It's also noted in exclusions that no actual tour guide would be present on tour. We also went ahead and refunded you 50% for the second person. Please let us know what else do you think we can add to the product description to make it more clear that it's a self-guided tour. We hope our pdf guide was useful to you. Our team provided a lot of fun facts, stories, and photo ops in this guide and we are proud of it. Please let us know if you have any other questions
