Once in a lifetime experience - Luke, if you are reading this, thank you for making our tour interesting, fun and personalised. It was perfect, interesting facts, walking iconic sets (Back to the Future - seeing it was a long time dream, the Dirty Harry street, on and on), driving down Wysteria Lane, great Pyscho house action. The walk to the front of the ride queues was almost too good, as a Brit we felt almost embarrassed at how good the service was. We loved it, felt the value was bang on and ofcoarse Luke, listened to what we loved at the start, and delivered in the tour. Brilliant. Thank you.

Birthday treat - I would have put family but wouldn’t let me. Anyway. Had a great day. Was for my daughter’s birthday. Tour guide was amazing. I believe the VIP was worth it. Staff friendly. Rides good. Food good. Highly recommend the vip even though it’s a bit more money.

What can I say, exceptional! - It was a very nice experience, both for children and adults. Of course, the VIP pass costs a lot but it is definitely worth it, without you would risk doing little and with so much stress. We “jumped” the lines with disarming ease! The tour with the guide maybe a little long, lunch included with delicious desserts! The only drawbacks, it stuck the raptor attraction for several endless minutes uphill and was becoming quite annoying. In addition, the Harry Potter attraction also came to a standstill shortly after. Still nice to do.

Better than expected unbelievable experience - From the valet to entering the VIP breakfast to lunch and all the rides, was an unbelievable experience. In the beginning of the day Adrienne greeted us at breakfast to explain the activities. At first our kids only wanted to go on the rides, and they were NOT interested in sticking with a tour guide. After she took us to water world. This show was unbelievable! Adrienne seemed to really know her stuff. She knew what needed to be done to get us to see all the rides and lunch and the studio tour. So we made the decision to stick with her instead of leaving the group. We were a group of only 5, but had a group of 14 all together. SHE WAS RIGHT ON POINT! we got on all the rides and did everything in the park excluding the kiddie rides. We felt like important VIPs. An experience our family will never forget.

VIP with Robert was an unforgettable experience we fully recommend. - Our VIP tour guide ‘Robert’ was superb and made the day unforgettable. To think he’s been working here since 1989, yet still some serious charisma, wit, humour & intelligence is a true credit to Universal Studios. It was our first time visiting and we would definitely recommend going VIP. No queues, great food, behind the scenes locations and much more. Thank you Robert, it was a pleasure to meet you. Mr & Mrs Lewis from the UK.

Too big a group,... - Too big a group, price-performance not satisfactory - normal tickets are perfectly enough! Only partially suitable for Europeans, as almost everything revolves around American series that are not known in Europe!

No one got back to me and I tried several times to contact guide so I knew were to meet . Food was not that great in VIP - Not worth the money unless you do the rides all day Food was not great in VIP room . No one told me were to meet my guide . Also I had a VIP pass but when I tried to use it at the Water World experience they said I just have a general pass so I left .
