VIP totally worth it for a 1 time experience or if you haven’t been there in a while. Snacks prior to the tour are decent but the buffet you receive for the main meal is lackluster. The only decent item they had was mushroom risotto and mashed potatoes. Everything else at the buffet was dry and tasteless. Not worth it in my opinion. I wish there was an option (included in the price) to eat at one of the other restaurants because their food is consistently delicious. Long story short, If you want to be escorted to the front of all the lines and hear fun facts about the park, this pass is for you! We had a great time.

I should have done it for the whole family not just our teens and our 21 year old son but please be aware when they say you can't take pictures they only mean in certain areas like props ect. The food the kids said was great, the morning brunch snack was nice as well.

First, the VIP is an incredible value and includes park admission, food, express passes, VIP treatment, access to VIP only lounges (with chargers and food), exclusive backlot tour where you get to explore some of the sets on foot, access to all rides, access to Nintendo, express for Mario Kart, and the best seats on all rides and shows. We also decided we wanted to split off the group and explore on our own after the backlot tour and we were able to continue to use the VIP access/express on our own.Our guide was Chris. He was incredibly engaging the entire time. He insured we all had a great time. He has such a wealth of knowledge of the entire industry, not just Universal. He explained the history of the production areas, how it currently operates, as well as just knowing about the entire entertainment production industry. He knew so many details and background knowledge that it made the entire experience educational and entertaining. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will be asking for Chris next time.This was an AMAZING experience and I can't recommend it enough.

The VIP tour is awesome. The day starts at the lounge where you can have a snack and relax before the tour starts. Our guide Andrew did an awesome job and took us the front of the line for each ride. He gave us a unique insight and special things to look out for. Lunch was an all you can eat buffet with characters walking around such as Doc Brown from Back to the Future, Dracula, and Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy. The Studio tour was 2 hours a long with added stops where you could walk around and take pictures. Overall, it was a memorable experience as we were able to see and learn much more than if we had to stand in line.

Al (team mustache) was our host. He was awesome. He actually convinced me to always purchase the V.I.P experience at all Universal Parks. I appreciate his film knowledge and enthusiasm about the park. His dinning selection was great. If you have a chance to purchase the VIP experience, please ask for AL. He was great. Thanks again for a awesome experience.

Wow - what a great time we had with the VIP Experience at Universal. Our guide, Vincent, was fantastic! We were paired with a wonderful family as well and we all got along so well. To be able to hop on the top rides without waiting in line was incredible and we really enjoyed learning about the park from Vincent. This experience has spoiled any future parks for us and will definitely be booking this again.

Our tour guide, Julia, was awesome! She made sure we had as much fun as possible in the time we had. We told her we were there for our anniversary and she tracked down and customized some anniversary buttons for us to wear. She did a great job narrating the tour and answered all of our questions. The tour itself consisted of joining up with another tour group and loading into a trolley car bus thing instead of the big trams. This part was kind of a bummer because every single seat was full. Some couples didn't get to sit with each other. We saw most of the same stuff as the big tour trams but from a smaller trolley car. We were able to get out at a studio and wander around. It was where they were filming Quantum Leap. The sets were very interesting. It's cool to see how all that works. We were walked onto quite a few rides and attractions but couldn't get in all of them. We had a great buffet lunch and decided to split off from the tour to pose for a caricature drawing and revisit a couple of things we did with the tour earlier. So, A+ for the tour guide, probably a C for filling the VIP tours to absolute capacity and a D for closing the park so early to accommodate the Halloween event.

WOW! we booked the vip tour experience and is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! From valet parking to lunch to the very end!We had Katy as our tour guide and she was AWESOME! She was very knowledgeable and let us know what every ride was before getting on.I was hesitant to do this tour guide since I thought it would be awkward hanging out with strangers but we would do this over and over again! She took us to all the main rides that are the busiest and we went straight to the front of the line on each ride. If there was a ride we didn’t want to ride we would just wait outside for the group and that wouldn’t be more than 10 minutes. We had a set time for lunch/ dinner at 4:10p and we all sat with our family at our own table and would meet back up outside the restaurant an hour later. Food was buffet style and it was delicious.Would highly recommend this tour and ask for Katy!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a family of 4, I planned this VIP Experience well in advance, and I can honestly say, it was worth every single penny! Our VIP group, consisting of a total nine people, spent around 6 hours with our incredible tour guide Angela. With her expert guidance, we were able to ride most thrilling rides, without any hassle in a single day and had plenty of time left to further explore and ride the same rides time and time again.One of the most significant advantages of the VIP Experience was the ability to skip the long lines, including the Express Pass. This meant that we had immediate access to all the best and most thrilling rides, without any hassle or waiting. Thanks to this perk, we made the most of our time, enjoying numerous attractions throughout the day.The main reason for our trip was to allow our younger child to experience Mario World, and with the VIP Express pass, we bypassed a three-hour wait, which was the same for the Harry Potter ride!The exclusive benefits of the VIP Experience added an extra level of comfort to our day. We started with a simple breakfast at the VIP lounge and enjoyed a buffet-style lunch at the VIP exclusive Jardin De Paris. Not having to worry about finding a table or dealing with large crowds during lunchtime made the experience even more enjoyable.Overall, the VIP experience at the park was an absolute treat. The attentive service and expert guidance from our tour guide elevated every aspect of the day, making it truly memorable and enjoyable. If you're seeking a special and unforgettable day at the park, with careful planning, I definitely recommend the VIP Experience – You will create memories that will last forever.Special thanks to our AWESOME, FUN, and KNOWLEDGEABLE ANGELA, who made of our trip truly memorable and exceptional!!

What an amazing experience - our tour guide Jon was amazing - he was so full of information. The experience of seeing all of the park, getting us on all the rides, the studio tour. However our guide Jon made the tour so personal and amazing. This is the way to do Universal Studios. Jon if you see this I want you to know that you made Hunter’s trip to Universal awesome. I can’t believe how amazing your attention was and how you included him and made him feel so important! You made our day! Thank you for a great experience!

Had Angela The Best Tour Guide Ever as our tour guide and she lived up to her name. Definitely 5 stars earned, was very insightful and answered all questions we had. Would reccomend everyone to request her if you can. If you get the chance to get her as a tour guide you are in for the best experience in the park.
