The 13 Best Los Angeles Tours & Day Trips

1.Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 7,191 reviews · 3 hours · from $76Our pick

Review of Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, with real sets, Friends, Big Bang Theory, DC, Harry Potter, pricing, timing, and practical tips.

“Great tour with Stephanie and the other folks who take you around. We enjoyed hearing about lots of shows and movies, how sets work, seeing a sound stage, etc. Nothing was being filmed while we were there (a Saturday) but I think that made it easier to see as much of the lot as possible. Otherwise, some of the streets and sets are blocked off. Go later in the day - by the time we were finishing at the Central Perk area and hitting the WB store, it was nice and peaceful, pretty empty.”

We were so excited about going on the hike so I’m definitely disappointed about it, especially since we’re only in the area for four days and this was supposed to be one of the highlights of our trip.”
