Beyond Amazing! The VIP is the only way to visit the park. Amazing lunch, very knowledgeable tour guide. We highly recommend Ryan. Very little to no wait in the line rides
VIP Experience at Universal Studios Hollywood
Carlos_C, Jul 2023
Expensive but worth it, especially when you account for very low to no wait times on rides, includes valet parking, breakfast and lunch, unlimited water, and an exclusive tour not open to the public. When you factor in the summer heat, I am glad we took this tour.
An Unforgettable VIP Day
Katherine_C, Jul 2023
We had an amazing day! Our tour guide was knowledgable and friendly. We learned a lot about Universal Studios and had a ton of fun packed into one day. We had delicious meals and went on all the popular rides with virtually no wait. We truly felt like VIPs! Would highly recommend.

Tour guide very friendly and informative and couldn’t have enjoyed the trip without the VIP status 👍👍👍
Worth the indulgence
kahele_a, May 2023
While this is pricey, we found it to be worth the extra money. If this will be your only visit to Universal I would definitely recommend this tour. We had our boys with us, 11, 9 and 6. Our guide, Robert, was so patient with the kids and accommodating to our entire group. (our group was 12 people) The day we went was pretty busy so it was really nice to skip all the lines. (this tour is the only way to skip most of the line for the Mario Kart ride. ) You don't walk to the very front of the lines, but skip at least 95% of it. The longest we waited was 10 minutes for Mario Kart(general line was 110min) The food at lunch was incredible, it was nice to be in a private area for lunch, it was quiet and calm, perfect for relaxing for a bit. The studio tour was fun since you can get out and walk around some of the sets. Our tour ended about 4 and then we had the rest of the day to explore on our own. Your VIP badge allows you to skip the lines for the rest of the day.
