Tour overview

A tour of Universal Studios is full of memories and history, where every turn of the tram reveals another familiar sight. This tour offers a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes of one of the world's most famous film studios.

First and foremost, it's a trip to a theme park, so you won't see Brad Pitt strolling around, but you will indeed see sets from many famous films and learn about classics — from "Frankenstein" to "Jaws."

Then, put on 3D glasses for an immersive experience. The technologically advanced Fast & Furious ride stands out, where fantasy becomes reality as you dive into high-octane action. This innovative attraction, presented as the grand finale of the studio tour, catapults you into the world of street racing at speeds over 120 mph.

Different sections of the tram tour zip through real streets and neighborhoods used in hundreds of movies and TV shows, as well as original sets from major films like "Psycho," "Jaws," and "War of the Worlds." Live guides and onboard video clips featuring TV host Jimmy Fallon add interesting information along the way.

How the tour will go

• Transfer to the Park
  Your trip begins with a transfer from your hotel, organized by American Butler. We take care of your comfort and safety throughout the journey.
• Start of the Tour
  Upon arrival at Universal Studios, your guide will meet you and take you to the trams used for navigating the vast studio grounds. Your tour begins with a look at the offices and sound stages where real movie magic happens.
• Sound Stages
  The first sound stage at Universal, Stage 28, was built in 1925 for the original "Phantom of the Opera." These stages are massive spaces where any set can be created.
• Famous Streets
  The tram will take you to New York Street, "Little Town," "Old Mexico," and "Little Europe." These streets are made with fake exteriors that look entirely realistic and can be easily adapted for different films.
• Bates Motel
  You will see the famous "Bates Motel" and the old house from "Psycho." This tour lets you dive into the atmosphere of Hitchcock's films and other classics.
• Special Effects
  The tram goes through various special effects scenes, like the roaring King Kong and a collapsing subway station during an earthquake. You will also see artificial lakes and "collapsing" bridges.
• Jaws and The Mummy
  Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of "Jaws" and "The Mummy." You will see artificial water bodies and feel the attack of scarab beetles.
• Video Displays
  The trams are equipped with video displays that show clips from movies filmed on the sets you are passing by.

Helpful Tips for Visiting

1. 01.Choose the Right Seats on the Tram
   To enjoy all the special effects and attractions, sit in the middle section of the tram. Most of the best views and special effects will be there.
2. 02.Be Prepared for Water
   Some scenes, such as "Jaws" and "Flash Flood," may leave you a bit wet. Be prepared for this and, if necessary, bring waterproof clothing or a protective cover for your camera.
3. 03.Arrive Early
   To avoid long lines and get the best experience, go on the tour as early as possible. Most other visitors will be rushing to popular attractions like "Harry Potter" and "Transformers," so the morning hours are the perfect time for the tour.
4. 04.Choose Outer Seats
   For the best views and photos, choose outer seats in each row of the tram. This will give you an unobstructed view and allow you to take great shots.
5. 05.Listen to the Guide
   Between the roar of engines and bright special effects, it's easy to miss the guide's commentary, but don't do that. The guides will tell you many interesting facts about Universal Studios and its history, making your tour even more exciting.
