The walking tour was a blast. We went on a dark day for the studio, and were able to explore two different pilot sets and a game show set. It was interesting to hear the history and see where a show tapes. It gives a different perspective when watching a show on TV. more

The tour was okay. There were some interesting things to see. We didn't see any stars/celebrities. The tour description also states you will see the "yellow brick road". We did NOT see that. We saw the sets for Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. The rest was just basically visiting "sets" and sound stages that had been built to film, the... more

First, thank you for visiting Sony Pictures Studios. It's true, "The Wizard of Oz" filmed here in 1938. We are proud to show our tour guests the soundstages where that classic was produced by MGM, even though its sets are long gone. Many guests experience a thrill just stepping into the old “Wizard of Oz” stages and learning of its...

I preface the above title because of the below reviews. We went on September 5th and while very informative, our tour guide "Chet" seem distracted and unsure where to take us. We ended up walking around the lot and got to sit in the empty Jeopardy set, and see where old vintage backdrops were painted (JCBackings). That was it. We... more

Wonderful tour - tour guide Tony was great! fabulous value for money at $28 per tour walking tour made the tour much more personal and up close Try going during the week vs the weekend as this is when productions are being filmed and you have greater chance of seeing actors more

This was the best tour ever, our tour guide was Tony and he made the experience that much better!!! We ran into a couple stars and were able to tour some sitcom sets. I definately recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Our tour guide was chock full of hollywood info, there was never a dull moment. I'm sure... more

Everything about this was great! Parking was easy, main lobby was grand; array of costumes in various glass enclosures, gift shop, restaurant and a small office to buy our tour ticket. Your picture is taken after you buy your tour ticket which you can purchase after the tour and since my cousin and I do not like to carry around... more

We didn't take a tour of this studio. But we did get to watch two tapings of Jeopardy. My kids loved it. Everyone was really nice and we all had an excellent time. I recommend going online and trying to get tickets to a taping of a show while you are visiting LA. more

I've been on almost all the studio tours in the LA area and this has been my favorite, so far. You start off in a beautiful lobby of the famous Sony Pictures Plaza building. There's water and a little cafe in case you're hungry or thirsty. The best part is that there are displays all around the lobby with props... more

Just wanted to let people know that we have a secret gem of a tour within driving distance. I'm talking about the Sony Studios tour. Our guide was able to bridge the history of the location (used to be an MGM lot) with the modern day workings of a studio which included film and television. We've been there twice in... more
