Found your very enlightening and better as an actual live studio tour than universal . Didn’t have time to do superman experience but would have liked to fobit. Wish it were included in tour pruce at a chesper orice.?
Great tour guide but the tour agenda was just average. Was told “Golden” era of movies, but hardly touched on them. Drove around the set building with plaques on the corners for the shows. Just not that good. Focus and merch was largely on Friends, Gilmore Girls and Superman, Harry Potter. VERY scary and DARK merch and focus at every turn. Would never take young kids here. Never.
It’s nice to have the option to focus more on the classics, the historical without all the Harry Potter/ Superman stuff. We were rushed through the prop house ( would have enjoyed seeing more there) but my guide John was excellent and knowledgeable. Paramount would be wise to copy WB’s move here, kids would have been bored with this tour and I would have bored hearing about Superman and Harry Potter for 2 hours.
Just enjoy and take it all in. Know your favorite movies and stars. The guides are so knowledgeable and fun.
Excellent tour. Well worth the price.
The tour is great and fantastic value however viator booked us for the wrong date. Our tickets were for 12.30 on the 29/8 which was confirmed in the email. The actual tickets were booked for the 30th as we found out on arrival. WB were excellent in resolving the issue.
This was so cool! Our guide was amazing and very passionate about movies/tv. He honestly reminded me of Ferris Bueller. We went on a Saturday, it was great. The prop house is nifty. There’s a lot of cute photo ops.
I wish I could have seen photo of the classic actor James Cagney and Bette Davis and other who made this studio possible and who is there because of them
I am a big TCM fan and old movie nerd, so when I took my daughter and granddaughter to LA for a Disney weekend I was delighted that they allowed me to sneak in this tour. Wow, it was eye opening to see the actual sets were so many movies I have enjoyed over the years were shot! Since returning home I find I have a deeper admiration for the directors, cameramen, and actors who turned studio lots into eternally magical experiences. And, one unexpected positive was my granddaughter said the studio tour was her favorite part of the trip.
We had a great time! Tangela (tour guide) did an amazing job. We saw Jason Sudeikis riding by in a golf cart. The outdoor sets and jungle were neat to see. The displays set up for the Big Bang Theory and Friends were pretty commericalized but still neat. We almost skipped the Superman interactive exhibit because my teenagers thought they were too cool but I was a fun forcer and I'm so glad I was. It was a cool interactive 3D experience and we all had a great time and laughed at each other till we cried. Overall it was worth the money and I'd go back. If I had to do it over again, I might spring for a more private VIP tour. Our tour only had one other family (of three) so there were only 7 of us on the golf cart, but I feel like we would have gotten an even cooler experience if it had just been the four of us.
