Great day - One of the best things to do in LA thank you Luke for taking us behind the scenes We had a great day. Well worth the money and the lunch was great Valet parking as not good at all you park at the furthest parking lot and have to walk. They should move valet to a closer parking lot.

VIP good for studio tour and Mario Kart - 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!

VIP Experience is WORTH IT - 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?!?!

Worth Every Penny! - Julia was amazing! Her knowledge and outgoing personality made this tour so much fun! The money to upgrade to VIP is 100% worth every penny! We got to ride every ride in the park and enjoy a show by 7pm which gave us more than enough time to enjoy little things in between!

Amazingly beautiful - Memorable!!! Get your VIP pass and everything will be fine and smooth. Guides are always available and helpful. You will skip all the queues for attractions and that’s why you will need to get your VIP package

VIP for the day - 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.

Amazing - well worth the money! - 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 👌

VIP vs. Express, VIP not worth the price! - The VIP option is only best if you want to get on the rides right away, but in my honest opinion, the Express Pass will do the same, and cost you less money. With the VIP pass, the light refreshments or breakfast that was provided was good. The buffet lunch was horrible. The food was dry and options were slim. With the VIP purchase, you get a tour guide for the day. Our tour guide was Tony and he was awesome. I would recommend him if purchasing VIP. Overall, the VIP was not worth it! If you purchase tickets, just purchase Express and you will have the same experience!
