We discovered a lot of movie tricks going around the studios in a golf cart with a very competent guide and we had the chance to talk with a very famous producer who approached our tour to have a few words with us. A must see if you are a movie lover.

We were a party of four. Three had booked the VIP tour and I had the much cheaper option of a 2 hour trip. I had arranged to meet them after their 4.,5hr trip at the cafe area outside the shop. After my 2 hour excellent tour I decided on lunch but when I sat down to eat I was... More

Being located in Hollywood it is close if you are staying in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills area. It was so informative and interesting. You are taken on a golf cart around the whole studio getting off at different parts to walk around. We saw Angie Harmon filming her current TV show and got a picture. You don't feel like... More

We went on the VIP tour of Paramount. Usually a 4 hour tour, our excellent guide, Andrei, gave us about 5 1/2 hours & we were never bored. He was wonderful, so friendly, we were treated like royalty. Everyone at Paramount was so nice. My fav part of our LA trip!!!

We booked our tickets on line for the studio tour. We found to have a conflict with timing on the day of the tour. Our small group took the chance of showing up earlier to see what the studio could do. They put us on the next available tour which turned out to be just our group. The guide was... More

We had a GPS, and found the studio OK, but the parking lot is not as shown on the map on the web. I think it was east of the indicated location by a few blocks, and hard to see. So get there in plenty of time to find it. We were shown a lot of sets with ipad clips... More

I think the tour guide was Jenny, and she was great. Out tour had a total of 6 people, so it was intimate compared to the 12 in our Warner Brothers group. My 13 year old daughter got close to Victoria Justice, some teen star, and we saw other teen stars. But I never saw any adult celebrities. We did... More

The best thing about this tour is the personal attention. Groups are 8-10 folks and you can ask all the questions you want. Most of the tour in in a large golf cart. Paramount is very historic, so the older folks can appreciate the parts of the studio were once RKO and DesiLu and the classics they produced. However, unless... More
