5.00Honestly this was worth every penny! No queuing, excellent guide, patience for kids needing loo stops constantly… & asking relentless questions. Arrived at 9:30 /valet parking. 11pm meet for film studio tour then park access till close. We had done every ride by 7pm some we did twice & bailed by 8:30 after dinner as we were exhausted!
Not worth the money, we got screamed at after our guide ditched all of the parties attached to him.

1.00The experience was ok, our guide ditched us and then we got yelled at, at the shows because our guide ditched all of the parties attached to him. There were three parties in total. Two groups of 4, which included us and a group of 2. He brought us to the waterworld show and just left and told us there was special seating inside for us. When we entered our whole group got yelled at by some guy holding the VIP seating sign. He said only tours with their guides can sit in there or ones whose guides reserved that spot for them. The guy screamed at us, and spoke to all of us so rudely, it was so bad we wanted to leave the park. I will never pay to do that experience again, and I won’t recommend it to anyone and we work in the travel industry and make recommendations daily for these types of attractions and places for people to visit. So disappointed in Universal.
Highly recommend for movie-loving families

5.00I read reviews that said we wouldn't be disappointed with the VIP experience and they were right! My husband, 18 year old son, 7 year old daughter and I all found lots to enjoy. Owen was our tour guide. He was excellent- deep knowledge, asked fun and engaging questions and was very invested in us having an amazing time. Great gluten free options for the lunch. I will say that it got a little long for my 7 y.o., and some of the rides selected for our group she opted out of because they were too intense for her. But she wasn't the only one and Owen wasn't at all judgemental. In fact, he did a wonderful job explaining the rides so we could select which would be most appropriate for her. I think my 18 yo he'd the best time out of us all because he was able to take advantage of the full scope of Owen's knowledge. Can't beat the nicer trolly and skipping all the lines!!! Highly recommend especially for movie-loving families!
Super
