Fabulous day at universal, I have to say the express pass was fantastic, really made everything far easier to navigate the park in a day!

Did this tour with our 9 year old and it was awesome! Our tour guide Donald was great and enjoyed all the features. The bottled water and small pastry/fruit breakfast. We did tour at 10:30. We hit traffic but wished we would have had more time prior, so try and arrive early and use the valet parking to get it credited! We did the studio tour first, which was interesting but we had done WB the day before so it felt kinda repetitive. We were able to hit every single ride and it was 100 degrees when we went so not waiting outside was awesome. But I only remember going through one secret door, rest were just express lane. I think unless you really love back lot tours (or want to do Mario Kart ride which is why we did it) I might would only do express lane next time and save some money. Lunch was a buffet and had a ton of choices, enjoyed that break!

The VIP Experience was awesome! Our tour guide, Donna, took us through the whole park and we loved the mix of seeing movie magic combined with our favourite movies turned into rides! And the express system was worth the price on its own…it was 40 degrees when we visited so NOT queuing for long was perfect. Lastly, having lunch in a bespoke air conditioned venue provided a nice break in the day…lots of pictures, fabulous memories….whats not to love?!?!

Did the VIP experience for my first time there and so amazing. Fantastic tour guide, well worth the $$ if you can afford it.

Although some may say a little costly it was such a great experience. We were treated like absolute stars from the minute we walked up to the red carpet VIP entry. The food for breakfast and lunch was outstanding and it was so great to jump all the lines. The other thing was not having to stress where to go and what time we just followed our guide and that meant we could look around and just enjoy three details of the park. With some free time at the end of the day to do what ever we want and go back on any other rides we wanted still skipping the lines. Very impressed and I recommend to everyone.

Great park to visit. Plenty of things to do, plenty of rides and the tour was fab. Just read all the 5 star reviews - they are correct. Will be back if we go back to LA

The VIP experience didn’t disappoint! Universal is a must do. This was a special holiday celebrating some special occasions so we decided to surprise the kids. It was also the same date as GCSE results so it was a treat our daughter’s hard work. It started with free Valet pick up and once we checked in at the VIP desk the girls were super excited. The guide we had was amazing - Owen looked after us super well, took us to the rides via express lane and held our bags whilst we were having fun. The lunch included was high quality buffet with drinks included (alcohol at extra). Water was also available at key points through the day. The studio tour experience was a great highlight made special with the VIP stops for photos at some set locations. Worth you knowing that the express lane was much better than Disney, as you can use it on all the big rides and as many times as you like. We were looked after by Owen from 9:15an and once finished with him we had 3 hours at the end of the day to go on all the rides again 👌

First visit for two adults 1 day Friday August 23, 2024. We had done Universal Orlando years ago and knew that this park was smaller. We had a day to kill so it was perfect. We didn’t stay at the hotels near there or utilize parking as we have heard from further south. We choose to purchase the super Mario land $20 early admission. I highly recommend this as it will get you into the park and our early you will go down and do the super Mario kart ride. Then you can knock off the other three rides that are down there as well then work your way back up to the top of the park. It’s an odd park built in to the side of a mountain in a sense there are many escalators. The views were beautiful, but it’s also a kind of odd layout. If you suffer from any kind of motion, sickness, or get dizzy easily, I would totally skip this park. Most of the rides are all simulator type rides where you’re faced with a screen and riding through in a car. The one ride they don’t have in Orlando is the back lot tour and that was actually my favorite ride along with the mummy. The ride takes an hour, so make sure you leave time for it. There are some surprises along the way with the ride. We ate lunch at Mel’s diner. It was OK standard park food. Getting there early was the best ideas it wasn’t as hot and crowded as the day went on the crowds appeared and it did get very hot. We wrapped up around two in the afternoon. We are done mostly everything we wanted to do and didn’t have kids with us to do the kid areas. In general it’s worth a visit. If you have time to kill I wouldn’t make it a major priority. I do think it’s over priced for what you get ..if you seen the one in Orlando the only thing different is the back lot tour. The longest we waited in the afternoon was around a half an hour, 40 minutes for Harry Potter. I would not splurge on the express pass that’s an additional 150 on top of the ticket price that would be a total waste.

The VIP Experience was a really great time. Tour guides Will and Vera were the absolute best. Loved their energy and playfulness! The tour moves on the quicker side so it didn't leave much time to explore which was a little unfortunate. But having everything taken care for you and no waiting to get on the rides was amazing. Only downside of the day was lunch break, coming across Dracula doing table work interaction at the restaurant. Absolute worst. Is Dracula supposed to be a bit of a d*ck to patrons? Yeah, that guy sucked. And not in a cool vampire way. 8/21/2024

Haven't been to Universal Studios in a very long time and chose to go with the "expensive" VIP Experience Tour this time around. If you're wanting to enjoy the full day at the park, not wait in lines, get to experience things that no one else will.. then choose to go with the VIP Experience. Our tour guide Janson was phenomenal ... he knew his stuff, interacted well with our 10 person party, and does very well with young kids. While you may somewhat "scoff" at the cost of this tour, it's totally worth it...and make sure you request Jason... he was great!

Universal was awesome! But, there's a but.. We went to Universal Orlando a few years ago. And that is in a different league compared to Hollywood. While the price is pretty much the same. In Orlando you get twice as much. But what Universal does is top notch. The way they bring you in another world is extraordinary. Express line is a must have. Do a few rides without early in the morning. And do them again in the afternoon with Express. It was summer but the heat was manageable and so were the crowds

If you don’t like waiting in line (who does?) and you can afford it (it is on the pricey side), Skip the Line is a great enhancement to your Universal Studios experience, especially if it’s a hot, sunny day.

Perfect in every way. Valley parking, no waiting in line to enter the park, amazing food on arrival and great area to get your bearings and settle into the park. The pass then gives you fast pass on any ride as many time as you want. We went on every ride and the good ones at least three extra times. The longest we waited all day was about 40 seconds for rides with a 1 hour standard wait time. The you get your personal guide. We had a chap called Tyler, he was amazing, very professional and knowledgable but yet just like being with your friend. He guided us on every ride all day. The film lot tour on your private bus was out of this world, a good hour or so stopping and walking around all the good bits, sound stage and prop store. Then there was lunch, amazing five star buffet. Water included all day as well as extras. It would be a false economy to visit without this ticket and I would say double this price would still be reasonable. All of the guides were great but ours was brilliant and if you are a universal boss reading this then please give Tyler a pay rise ( the female he worked with for the bus tour was also brilliant) by the end of the day it was like being with a family member. 100% worth it and with it universal which is already awesome is even better 👍

This tour was amazing! We did it with our 7 year old son, mainly for Mario kart and unlimited access! We had a 1.30pm tour, we had breakfast in the VIP lounge. Did some rides with our express pass, then met our guide Aaron. He was fab! We did the studio tour, then Harry Potter. Then we had lunch about 4pm, this was fantastic! Amazing food. We were super impressed! Then did the lower lot rides. Super Nintendo world was why we wanted to visit and it was epic! Overall an amazing day, absolutely brilliant!

I enjoyed being in Team Bobby!! He was caring and knowledgeable guide. I strongly recommend the VIP tour with him!!!!!!!!!
