    The tour was fast paced but I was able to see a lot of the city. My favorite stop was at the observatory, and it was nice to stop for lunch at the farmer’s market. I also enjoyed the provided water.

    Reputable company. Alan from UK was a great safe driver and tour guide.
    It was well paced and Alan had some great stories and antidotes.
    Worth it.

    Don't usually do tours but I'm glad I gave this a go - super cool day out touring LA areas with Adam who knew so much about the area, whether we were off the beaten track cruising round the Hollywood hills or driving through Mulholland Drive. Awesome dude with really interesting knowledge! Recommend for sure.

    This was such a fun aquarium. My favorite part was being able to touch jellyfish!! It was a little behind in a corner, but glad I took the time to try and find it. It was fun for the whole family

    We visited the park on a Monday in early June. We boarded the shuttle from the nearby Hilton Universal Hotel at 7;30 am, were dropped off near the NBC Sports Grill & Brew on the Universal City Walk, and walked to the entrance. After going through security and scanning our early entrance ticket, we proceeded to the left side of the red carpet where they scanned our general admission ticket then we headed to the lower lot which took us a good 15-20 minutes. There was already a 20 minute wait for Bowser’s Challenge. At least there were great things to see while waiting in line. We finished the ride at 8:50 am, bought a couple items in the gift shop and hopped back in the single rider line before the general admission people arrived at 9:05 am. The early admission ticket was worth every penny because we were able to do the Transformers ride, the Jurassic Park ride twice, and the Harry Potter Forbidden Journey ride before 11 am so we could use our early entrance pass to avoid the line on the 60 th anniversary Studio Tour. After the tour we had lunch at Three Broomsticks, which was delicious (see separate review) and went on the second Harry Potter ride, the Flight of the Hippogriff. We hit most of the things we wanted to see by 2:00 pm.
    One thing to take note of, be careful if you have vertigo. Many of the rides can trigger this. The Bowser’s challenge was fine, you can always close your eyes near the end if the effects bother you. The Transformers ride was a little rough, I wouldn’t recommend it because of the speed and the amount of spinning. Jurassic Park was fine. The Flight of the Hippogriff was very short but did cause us all to feel dizzy and have some nausea. The Forbidden Journey is not recommended as the effects plus the movement also caused both nausea and dizziness for all of us although it is a really cool ride. You can walk through and exit before boarding if you’d like to see everything but it is extremely dark.
    The studio tour was interesting and has several new attractions. Again for those who have vertigo issues there are three sections that may bother you, #1 King Kong: the tram shakes violently and effects are fast moving, I had to hang on and close my eyes through most of it. #2 Earthquake: I was able to keep my eyes open but it did shake quite a bit, it was minor compared to the King Kong experience. #3: Fast and Furious: it appears as though you are going very fast but the tram isn’t going forward, I had to shut my eyes for a majority of the event. I did survive and didn’t get a vertigo episode but I did feel slightly dizzy the rest of the day.
    Kids would really enjoy the Super Silly Fun Land and the Minion section, make sure you bring a bathing suit for them. We had a great time, I recommend it!

    Our guide George did a great job.

    Showed us cool places in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and we drove by celebrities' homes. All 6 of us had a great time.

    Amazing tour. Our driver Raul used to be an actor and he knew all the best bits of LA for us to visit. Really helped us maximise the time we had in LA. The highlights for me included visiting Santa Monica pier, seeing Beverly Hills and getting to photograph the iconic Hollywood sign.

    He was very knowledgeable and included the kids when they had questions. The hazy view could have been better but not his fault.

    The tour was great! Our guide, Mike, was engaging, funny and knowledgeable. We didn’t spend a lot of time at any spot, but we got to see a lot of places. Great value and a lot of fun.

    This was an amazing experience. It was just my wife and I as we wanted a peaceful and quiet experience.
    Captain Mancini is extremely professional and super nice. The sail boat is beautiful as well.

    We had a very relaxing time, very peaceful and drank our rose and ate the snacks the captain made us (which were delicious).

    I highly recommend this to anyone
