You will explore back-lot sets and other production areas and learn how we bring stories to life on the big and small screen.

Traveler reviews
A must!!
Excellent tour. Guide was very informative, providing a great deal of insight on the studio and stars. Back lot is great. The interactive aspects dealing with film making was super and the added 3D Superman experience was unexpected, but a fantastic addition.
Deep dives, fun guide, smaller group, and snacks! What more can you ask for!
The TCM Tour feels way more special than the standard tour experience. Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide showed us a lot of really great things, told us a lot of history, and tailored what he expanded on based on what our small group was most interested in. Definitely recommend, especially for fans of the classics.
Absorbing look into a film studio
We rid the classic movies tour. Very well presented and informative. The groups was small, 8 people, so could ask lots of questions. Although there were a lot of people around it didn't seem busy and you were able to view exhibits without any problems. Staff were all friendly and helpful. No queues yo sit on the Friends set. The staff even took photos of you with your own phone for free. We gad the bonus of bumping into Rami Malik on the back lot! Would thoroughly recommend.
