Fabulous 👍
This was the 3rd VIP studio tour we took in 3 days. Day 1, Universal, day 2 Paramount and day 3 Warner Brothers. Compared with the other 2, Warner Brothers was by far the best experience. A great guide and great food. Loved every moment 👍👍
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! We are thrilled to hear that our tour stood out as the highlight of your three-day studio marathon. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to your guide and culinary team. We hope to welcome you back again!

Bordering on a scam
It’s just a transfer to go to Warner Bros and visit Hollywood Boulevard for an hour. The tour at Warner Bros is not VIP; the driver is very nice, but for a service that lasted a maximum of two hours, it’s not worth it. Taking a taxi is almost equivalent and much cheaper.
Response from the operator: Bonjour, merci pour votre avis. Nous regrettons sincèrement que cette expérience n'ait pas été à la hauteur. Vos retours sont précieux pour nous : nous travaillons déjà avec notre équipe pour améliorer le contenu et la valeur de ce tour. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la gentillesse de votre chauffeur et espérons regagner votre confiance lors d'une prochaine visite

Outstanding Tour
We took the TCM Classic Movies Tour on the WB lot, and it was excellent. We were in a group of about 12 people and learned a ton from our very knowledgeable guide, Daisy. She grew up in West Hollywood, so her knowledge is encyclopedic and her passion and enthusiasm for storytelling and moviemaking are infectious. Our tour lasted for about three hours and included an introductory film, a tour of the properties building where we were able to see the huge inventory of movie props used through the decades and which are now loaned out to other studios and production companies, the costume department, several of the outdoor "streets" where filming still takes place and where many famous movies have been shot, and one of the sound stages where films from the 1930s to present day sitcoms have been shot. One complaint: neither the tour nor the gift shop pay very much attention to the rich Looney Tunes legacy of Warner Brothers. The brilliance of those creators should be a highlight of any tour and exhibits, but it's almost treated as an afterthought now, which was disappointing.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the detailed feedback! It’s great to hear that our local expertise and passion made the tour so memorable for you. I also appreciate your note regarding the Looney Tunes legacy; that rich history certainly deserves more spotlight. I'll be sure to pass that observation along. Safe travels!

Great tour
Our tour guide was very informative, friendly, engaging and helpful. We all really enjoyed seeing all the sites in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, etc. He really went above and beyond. The Warner Brothers tour was nice. I think the studio could do better on the tour with having TV's in the trolley's that are actually visible so you can see the movie/show clips while passing by the places where the filming took place and compare. I also would have liked to see some more action on the sets. I know it may not be possible to see an actual filming but maybe they could set it up to simulate what the filming would be like. For example, at Universal Studios they had opportunities for you to see how the special effects work with rain, floods, etc. There was nothing like that at Warner Brothers.
Response from the operator: Hello Michelle! Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our tour guide and the Hollywood portion of your trip! We are thrilled to hear that the tours through Beverly Hills and Bel Air went above and beyond your expectations. Regarding your feedback on the Warner Bros. Studio trolley screens and the desire for more "action" on the sets: since the studio portion is managed by Warner Bros. Studio staff, we will share your specific suggestions with their tour operations team to help them improve the guest experience.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Monica.
How much does Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $1199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Monica usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Monica is not rushed.
Is Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Monica, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Monica can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Monica and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Warner Brothers Studio Tour and Hollywood Highlights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Monica within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Monica?
+
Santa Monica is where most LA coast tours start: beach bike and e-bike rides to Venice, surf lessons, food walks on Third Street and open-top runs up Pacific Coast Highway. On Outty we rank every Santa Monica experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Los Angeles Guided City Tour with 4 Stops and Free Time, Half Day Best of Los Angeles City Tour from Santa Monica, Hollywood, Beverly Hills & Celebrity Homes Tour by Open Air Bus. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Monica?
+
March to May and September to November, dodging the June marine layer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Monica?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
