I went solo on 9/22/23 and enjoyed every moment of my tour. We did not have to wait in any lines on the VIP tour. My tour guide Sam was the best!!! Everyone in my tour group were friendly and we all got along and communicated great. I love Mario so of course my favorite ride was the virtual Mario Kart ride. I also loved that we got to tour sets and sound stages where actual shows/movies film or filmed. I’d say the writer’s strike is a good and bad thing. Bad for obvious reasons but good due to the fact that we were able to see sets. If they were in production, those sets would be closed off. You’ll also get free breakfast and a buffet style lunch! Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is thinking about it. It made my solo trip to LA great.
