Booked the $150 tour that lasted over 4 hours. George our VIP tour guide was funny, spontaneous and made us feel as if we were true VIP's unlike the he Warner Bros tour that was very scripted and robotic. Jumping on and off the golf buggy, going in sound stages, seeing filming, learning the history of how it all came... More

The ticket is way to expensive for this tour. There are no interesting points on this tour, it is a way to steal money from people, two very boring hours. Definitely this is a tour to avoid. I recommend the tour to the universal studios, that one is AMAZING.

We went on our own with the Gower address given above here and we nearly missed our scheduled tour! We were fortunate that we met some kind people who took us to the right place in time for our tour. The address is: The Studios at Paramount, 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90038. We were fascinated with the behind scenes... More

This tour was very basic, for around 2 hours and 100 dollars I really felt unsatisfied at the end. The tour was basically a golf cart ride for the most part, with about two or three pit stops along the way. We saw the fake city streets which was cool, but that part only lasted a few minutes. The rest... More

We had a great tour guide who explained everything. They have iPads to show clips from movies that have been filmed there.

This is fun and worthwhile tour around the lot of Paramount Studios. Part of the lot belonged to, first, RKO and then Desilu before it became all Paramount. You travel the lot in a golf cart, and the groups contain no more than 8 people. It makes it easy to see and hear everything, plus you get earphones for the... More

I was looking forward to my VIP tour of Paramount and I wasn't disappointed it exceeded my expectations. Lindsey was our tour guide & she was informative, fun and adapted the tour to the interests of our group. We were not rushed through the experience, all the Paramount staff we met were friendly and welcoming we were made to feel... More

We had a brilliant morning, we met our tour guide along with 5 other people on our tour. He took us around on a golf cart, we stopped to look around at various locations and showed us were some of the scenes are set and how they are done. It was a really interesting morning and some serious reminiscing by... More

About a month ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the studio and taking the 2 hour tour. Our guide, Nina was very informative and a real pleasure throughout the tour. She really went out of her way to get to know everyone on the tour and show us where all of our favorite films were shot. My daughter (age... More

This is a 2 hour behind the scenes look of a working studio lot, with lots of history. We seen at least three stars. Watch for them riding on bicycles or just reading in the sun! We got to tour the set of The Doctors & learn some behind the scenes secrets for the show. Many of your favorite shows... More
