What people are saying about Paramount Studios, Los Angeles

Overall rating

4.4 / 5

based on 1,824 reviews

It was a great experience. Worth the money. Very nice staff and tour guides. Organized tour. You get to tour around the outside sets, plus the inside sets of actual TV shows. Would definitely recommend if you are into movies or how movies are made. Ultimately, we ended up choosing this one over the others like Universal and Paramount. This tour has a ton of interactive stuff about Friends, Harry Potter, and Batman.

A very interesting tour of the studios (+-1hr) followed by free time (as long as you want to) to explore the sets of Friends, Bing Bang Theory, etc. The last part of the tour includes a visit to the hall where you can see various costumes, Harry Potter experiences, etc. All in all, count about 3-4 hours for the tour. You can also have some snacks/coffee/lunch here.

Schöne Tour durch die Filmgeschichte(n) der Studios. Umfangreiche Befahrung und Begehung der Außenkulissen und eines Studios mit sehr informativen Guide. Schöne Ausstellungen im Empfangsbereich und nach der Führung zur Geschichte der Studios und bekannten Serien und Spielfilmen. Direkt aus dem Parkhaus zu erreichen.

I didn’t know what to expect going into this experience and wasn’t sure on how much I’d get to see within the time frame. Can confirm that I was not disappointed and the overall experience was fantastic! For a first timer visiting LA and who is thinking on doing this, I’d highly recommend going for it.

My family really liked this tour! Fantastic going behind the scenes!!!!
