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.

It was the best tour in Hollywood. It was direct, exclusive, informative, and centered on the visitor experience.

WASTE OF YOUR MONEY

Our experience started with the tour guide, who parked in front of the building and told us the same story four different ways. Then we went inside the church, and he repeated the same information again. About 75% of the group was rolling their eyes. He was the only one laughing at his own jokes. At one point, a couple even asked, "Are we stuck with this idiot?" I think my husband summed it up best. He said it was like a haunted house where everything is unorganized, but they try to act like it's not.

TCM the best

If you are an old movie buff... You will love this tour. Hopefully your guide will be Craig. Having taken the regular tour 3 years ago, this one really gives you the flavor or old Hollywood and how films were made.

Family Fun Makes Summer in California Perfect

Great time with my family touring Warner Brothers studio. My family enjoyed the prop room and viewing the stages. The Superman experience was so much fun! Everything was in the same area. You could even get mixed drinks in the Superman section!

Warner Bros- TCM Studio tour= Fun!

My husband and I did the Warner Brothers TCM Studio Tour. Our guide made it so interesting with all his knowledge. The amount of time was perfect for the guided tour and self guided portion as well.
