Behind the scenes fun

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.

Craig review

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

The tour is a classic

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.

Worth it!

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.

Well worth the money.

Craig was so knowledgeable about the classic previous films, the tour was about 2 hours long. Many pictures of previous films, history of the Warner's and seeing the streets where many stars filmed their movies was fantastic. Craig explained the brothers save all set furniture, lights and costumes, they rent them out now. Best tour I've been on.
