It was 3 by the time we got to the ticket window where we were informed that the studio would be closing at 5pm. We rang la sightseeing asking... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review, Toppee. We are very sorry you didn't have more time at Universal Studios. Combination tours have a minimum of 2 hours at the park, maximum is usually 4 hours. This should have been carefully explained to you before the tour departed. Your review has been very helpful in bettering our... More

We took a tour with this company and it started of with a 1hour and 20 minute drive to get to the office. Once we were finally on the tour - the tour guide spoke way too fast, drove illegally and answered the phone numerous times while driving and speaking to the group. When we booked the tour, we were... More
