Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood in Los Angeles pairs a guided backlot ride with self-paced sets like Friends Central Perk and Harry Potter.
“Backstage Studio Lot, our guide Sarah, she loves her job and you can feel that.”
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood in Burbank, see Friends and Big Bang Theory sets, learn green-screen effects, then finish with DC and Harry Potter.
“It's only a couple of hours long...but nit rushed. Part of the tour is lead by a tour guide and part is on your own.”
Warner Bros Studio plus Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills sights, with DC, Friends, and Harry Potter sets, plus a free shuttle.
“The Studio tour was very good and our driver Stan for the second half of the tour was very knowledgeable and abit of a character.”
TCM Classic Films Tour at Warner Bros. Studio Burbank: guided backlot cart, Central Perk and costumes, plus Studio Store access.
“This is a must see for those of us who enjoy TCM and movies from the 40’s. The Tour guides are well versed and knowledgeable.”
A 2-hour Hollywood Movie and TV Location Tour with Film Freak Tours, featuring an open-air minivan, iconic stops, and veteran stories.
“If you love movies, this is a tour filled with fun movie locations and info. The owner led tour gives a great dive into his past inside the Hollywood scene which is so interesting to hear. Don’t expect to get many photos of the locales. While they’ll slow or even stop for the most popular, Leo will point out a lot more than you could capture through the open sided bus.”
Warner Bros Studio Tour plus a Hollywood hop-on hop-off bus. Guided studio sets, Friends and Harry Potter stops, and flexible sightseeing.
“This is NOT a big bus tour. You need to get to the office to redeem voucher before using the buses. Pointless for us as we were the other side of L.A. The office did give us the use of buses next day. The Warner tour was well worth a visit , though you really need a car to get there !!”
Hollywood Film Freak Movie Locations Tour with Leo from the Hollywood Roosevelt, 75+ sets and TV spots, movie clips, and Funko Store discounts from $39.
“Better than expected. Very informative & constant feel good vibe. Highly recommend doing this tour.”
A private 3-hour L.A. film locations tour where you pick the exact neighborhoods and movie spots, then ride a car route with big-screen details.
“This tour was a fun and enjoyable experience that was definitely one of my favorite parts of my trip to California. This whirlwind location tour took us throughout so many different filming locations that is specifically catered to what you want to see! The tour felt incredibly thought-out, each time you approach a new location a song plays that correlates to the filming location. The tour guide was awesome, the setup was brilliant, and the experience was wonderful. Highly recommend!”
Warner Bros TCM Classic Films Tour in Burbank with James Dean apartment exterior, Jack Warner rose garden, Eastwood stage, and 500k props.
Step into the Millennium Biltmore with Oscar and film-set history, guided by smart glasses AR for a 1-hour DTLA walk.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from an AR tour of the Biltmore, but it completely blew me away. I wore augmented reality glasses that overlaid historical events, scenes, and classic movie clips directly into the spaces where they were filmed. It was like stepping into the past without ever leaving the room. The guide, Mark, was both knowledgeable and entertaining, and the whole experience felt truly one-of-a-kind. It gave me a deeper appreciation for LA history and made me realize how much of the city—especially iconic spots like the Biltmore, which has stood for over a century—is woven into the fabric of Hollywood storytelling.”
