Studio Tour Hollywood brings you closer than ever to the entertainment you know and love.

You’ll step into a sound stage where TV shows like The Big Bang Theory, Pretty Little Liars, Friends and The Ellen DeGeneres Show made their mark . See the backlots where movies like Batman, Casablanca, Argo and many more were filmed. Learn about how interior scenes are shot and how sets are torn down and rebuilt to create the proper scenes for various shows and films.
The latest exciting addition to Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is Stage 48: Script to Screen. This interactive soundstage explores key phases of the entertainment production process and offers an insider’s look at how all your favorite shows are created. As you explore, you’ll be able to design your own movie costume, take a screen test on the Central Perk set from Friends, race through the streets of Gotham on a Bat-pod, and much more! From script creation and casting to the wonders of green screen technology and the glory of awards season, Stage 48: Script to Screen is where all of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets are finally revealed.
Your studio tour also includes entrance to the memorabilia-filled Warner Bros. Archive and The Picture Car Vault, where you can check out all the real Batmobiles used in all seven of the Batman films.
After the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, the second part of your Hollywood experience — the 2-hour celebrity homes tour — takes place, chauffeuring you around the exclusive Los Angeles suburbs where movie stars live, shop and go out. Your small-group minibus allows you to visit neighborhoods that are off-limits to larger coaches so you can see as many unbelievable mansions as possible.
See houses that belong or used to belong to stars like Halle Berry, Tom Cruise, Madonna, David and Victoria Beckham, Ozzy Osbourne, Richard Gere, Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra. Cruise down the Sunset Strip, enjoy a view of the Hollywood Sign, and pass by Hollywood hotspots like the Walk of Fame, Whiskey a Go Go, the Viper Room and Chateau Marmont. Stop by Rodeo Drive to see the designer stores and sparkling jewelry shops that outfit A-list actresses for awards shows, and zip by the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, featured in Pretty Woman.
By the end of your day tour, you’ll be an expert in all things Hollywood and have plenty of stories to take back home to family and friends.
Pretty good, basic studio tour. Our guide was a lot of fun, and you get a lot of time to check out different sets on the lot. We even caught a glimpse of a former Breaking Bad star.

Very interesting
Review by: Liz, January 2018
I give this Starline shuttle service a resounding ZERO I would give them negative stars if that was possible. The service from our hotel to LAX was disastrous and the driver point blank refused to help and so did the company when I called. Dispatch was too chicken to speak to me at all and Reservation had no control over anything, according to them, so they did nothing also. Nabel was a very old man that kept telling me not to upset him because he had to drive so after about 10 times I told him that he should not be doing this job and that finally shut him up. I realize that I have not provided specifics but there is too much to explain, the fact that when there was a problem my description of how it was handled should be enough! Besides this transfer we also took a tour with them and we had to change buses 5 times it was ridiculous!! I highly recommend that no one use this service and maybe they will go out of business because they definitely do not know how to run a business.

The movie star's homes tour was overbooked. I had to sit in the cab with the driver while my husband had to sit in the very last seat because of the way we were told we needed to board the vehicle. Sitting in the cab next to the driver impaired my view of the sights and prevented me from taking pictures of anything but the head of the driver and the cab of the vehicle. The vehicle also whizzed by most of the houses so we were unable to look at them.

Great trip !

Fun Excursion_br/_ We booked the Warner Bros. Studio tours and Stars home through Trip Advisor. The website brought us to Viator. Our excursion is through Starline Tours. It seems that Starline Tours is a reputable company. Well organized. The agents are professional and knowledgeable. In speaking with our agent, she told us her favorite tour and why she liked it so much. This was a great insight for us. We booked an additional tour based on her recommendation and she was right. We enjoyed it. _br/_ Warner Bros. was fascinating. Our three teens were star struck. Meg, our tram tour guide is a doll. She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She provided fascinating tidbits regarding sets and film industry as well as behind the scene information. She clearly enjoys her job and did her homework. _br/_ The tour takes you around the lot. You stop and get off at Small Town, USA where Meg took us through homes and explained the use of the homes and the magic of filming. Production companies are very economical. We enjoyed listening to the many uses of each home ._br/_ At the end of the tour Meg dropped us off at Central Perk and we visited the Friends couch and took photos. We walked around took pictures various exhibits. Our favorite is the Perspective table. Really cool!! _br/_ Its like a mini museum. Props and sets full of information.

There was too much emphasis on the TV shows Friends and The Big Bang Theory. Very little mentioned about the motion pictures, history or achievements.

great tour
Review by: Petronella M, September 2017
The best part of this tour was Warner Bros studio tour. It was great with great information. Movie stars homes tour was a waste of time and the driver was over not pleasant driving a higher speeds around corners so people at the back were falling over each other. I think if the driver was more entertaining the stars home part of the tour would have been better.
Review by: Gino C, September 2017
Excellent Tour worth the money, you get to tour the Warner Brothers Studio, where you will see real sets, such as Friends, Big Bang Theory, walk a real movie street with heaps of info on how its done, her is where you may see celebs, especially Directors, looking for movie locations, theirs a lot of hands on staff, you will also get to hold a Real Oscar
Review by: Pam H, September 2017
Didn't get to see a whole lot at Warner Bros. studio. Felt quite disappointed, what we did see wasn't of much interest to us or other people on our tour. The tour of stars homes was much more interesting, the guide was fun and knowledgeable. Saw heaps of famous homes and spots.
Review by: Niall M, September 2017
Warner Brothers studio tour was excellent and well worth doing but the tour of the movie stars home was a complete waste of time. Our tour guide did not know where any A listed star lived, except those that were dead many years and kept referring to all the big stars they saw yesterday on the tour !!! Anybody she did mention was certainly not somebody I would be looking to have a selfie with.
Review by: Iulia, September 2017
the hotel pick up was not excellent but the rest was good
Review by: Adam L, August 2017
The tour was great. The issue was with Starline Tours forgetting 10 of us at Warner bros for and hour past scheduled pick up time. Had to call several times to a not very helpful person trying to get us picked up. Delayed us on other reservations we had made. Tour was great with Stan.
Review by: Frances D, August 2017
The tour guide for the Studio part of the tour was wonderful......took us to many interesting parts of the studio to see the various aspects of production. The homes tour was very good too, but there were no sightings!!
Review by: Thick, August 2017
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.
Review by: R K M, August 2017
The small windowless bus great when you want to take photos picked us up from our hotel and took us around the Movie Star Homes and then gave us time to walk around the Hollywood Walk of Fame before we met back up to be taken out to Warner Bros studio. We really enjoy being taken around the lot in the small cart with Drew our guide. If you are fans of Batman, Wonderwoman, Girmore Girls, Ellen DeGeneres, Harry Potter, you'll love this tour. Best of all you are dropped back at your motel afterwards as it was a full day tour.

This tour was amazing!

we had a great time on this tour. Warner Bros Hollywood Studio tour was awesome. Got a chance to see Ellen's set.
Review by: harperconstruction, June 2017
I would highly recommend the Warner Brothers Hollywood Tour. Tour could have been better if driver explained a little more about where we were going and what we'd be seeing on the Movie Stars' Homes Tour.
Review by: DeAnne S, May 2017
Really good tour at Warner Bros. Didn't realize we were going other places besides just Warner Bros and homes. We would have rather see more homes instead of the other places.
Review by: AARON E, March 2017
Exceptional way to spend a morning/afternoon. This was a very informative tour, guided from a giant golf cart. It was a fascinating look behind the scenes of the movie/tv industry. So much entertainment history at Warner Bros. and so much to absorb. Highlights included the prop shop and sets of Big Bang Theory and Ellen. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our only complaint was minor in that she recycled the same four adjectives over and over, one of which included iconic. Her heart was in the right place though, and we got over ourselves quickly. Seriously a wonderful tour.
Review by: Ralph B, March 2017
While WBR studio tour was great (get Noah as a guide...fantastic). The rest of the day was terrible. More than half the day spent sitting in LA traffic.
Review by: Alice B, March 2017
The Warner Brothers Tour was fabulous...both adults and kids loved it...something for everyone! The downside was that the organization who shuttled us to and fro and from whom we bought the tickets on Trip Advisor, StarLine Tours, was very inefficient resulting in us missing the tour we signed up for and having to take one an hour later instead. This resulted in us entirely missing our Hollywood Homes tour, a big disappointment. We were at the appointed location Chinese theatre, StarLine kiosk early, checked in, presented vouchers and were told to go to the candy shop on the second level of the mall adjacent to the theatre to wait for our guide. We were there on time, waited thirty minutes, inquired twice to be sure we were in the right location, and they missed us entirely. They said they did a walk through of the candy store and did not see us. We were a party of five! Hard to miss! No announcement was made to look for us, noone announced they were there to guide StarLine guests. Nothing. We finally went down to the kiosk and found that they had left us...so sorry. Furious, we finally got rebooked on the next hour's tour, but that meant it would be dark for the Hollywood Homes tour, so not worth it. The whole episode ruined our experience. Would NOT recommend using StarLine tours.
Review by: Mitchell A W, February 2017
WB tour was great. Guided tour well worth it. However the stars' home portion was a let down. Our guide for that portion a different guide than WB made us feel as if she was hurrying to get done with the afternoon tour. If we would have had a diffent afternoon guide, I'm sure it would have been a much better experience for us.
Review by: Kevin S, January 2017
The tour guide was very good, it rained for our Movie Stars home tour. The fog was so thick that we could not see the Hollywood sign or the valley. I think they should have given us the option to change our tour. The Warner Bros. tour was very good. the guide was great, we learned a lot on both.
Review by: Sanyo L, January 2017
The combo studio tour and movie stars' homes tour was interesting and fun. The tour guides were informative and engaging and my family really enjoyed it. Our only complaint is that there should be a warning that the tours are back to back from when the bus picks you up at your hotel approx. 8:30am until the end of the 2nd tour at 3:30pm and there is no time or opportunity to have lunch. We were SO hungry by the end of the tour, so make sure you bring lots of water and snacks!
Review by: Letitia L, December 2016
Our tour of Warner Brothers Studios was very nice as was the tour of Movie Stars Homes. The biggest issue was it was cold. Additionally, for the tour of homes, there was no roof and the blankets used to cover our laps were sketchy. The tour guides were excellent although our first driver to Warner Brothers was a bit grouchy as some would not follow directions and we got a late start about a half hour later than expected.

Review by: Majed A, October 2016
Warner bro your is could be bought directly as it is completely done by them. Tour guide for the celebrity homes wasn and #39;t as good as other tour guides we have enjoyed previously
Review by: Kristen B, October 2016
The Warner Bros. Studio Tour was great, but we didn't know the van for the movie stars' homes tour would be open air -- we were so hot and got sunburned!! Also, since the tour was several hours long picked up early morning and dropped off late afternoon, we expected at least a short break to get lunch or water, but there was no time built in for this or even a bathroom stop! In sum, I highly recommend the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, but the rest of the tour could use significant improvement.
Review by: PINAKSREE G, October 2016
It was a superb experience. The young lady who drove us in the lanes of the studio was fantastic. This tour is a MUST for all tourists visiting Los Angeles.
Review by: Jacques L, October 2016
The Warner Bros portion of,the tour was excellent and we recommend it highly. The star homes tour was adequate but not exceptional. The trip through the hills is a bit like a roller coaster, although you do get to see some interesting locations.
Review by: Lidia N, October 2016
It was a very nice tour. We were taken from around Chinese Theatre to Warner Bros Studio, where we had a local guide taking us in a mini-vehicle around the studio, its streets and various buildings and their content. We were pointed the places where well-known various film episodes where filmed. We saw giant warehouses where things are produced and stored. We also went to one of the studios where the film series are currently being produced in this place - no cameras were allowed, sadly :. They have also a building showing while one walks from room to room how a film is being developed from the script and various examples of it. There are also interactive parts, including a green box when one can take part in a simulation and then being put into a real scene from a well know film e.g. riding a batman vehicle from Dark Knight while being chased by a lorry: They also have a very nice café there and a big gift shop. I did a Movie Stars' Home Tour separately a day before and it was a worthwhile experience. The guide literally stopped in front of villas and mansions of the various stars and other well know people. He offered plenty of info about the houses themselves as well as start-related stories related to the houses. I would highly recommend this part of the tour too. Lidia
Review by: Patricia L, September 2016
This is a great tour! Especially if you've never done one before. Very informative, lots to see from actual sound stages we saw the one from MOM to the Bat Cave where they house actual working motorcycles and cars from the Batman movies to the prop warehouse! Very cool. We even got to sit on the actual set of Friends! After it was over, they had free tickets for Conan OBrien's show so we stayed and went. That was fun also. All in all a great day!
Review by: Jaime H, September 2016
Had such a great time at Warner Bros. studio tour as well as the movie stars homes. Very highly recommend.

Great tour and great tour guide - Baxter, he made us laugh and the Bat Cave was awesome!
Review by: Servane M, August 2016
Great experience especially the Studio Tour
Review by: hiker937, July 2016
This tour was redundant for us because we took the Highlights tour the day before.
Review by: Thomas N, July 2016
This tour includes two separate tours -- a studio tour at Warner Brothers guided by a Warner Brothers tour guide and a movie star homes tour guided by a Star Lines tour guide. Both of these tours were terrific. But there was little communication from Star Lines about how it would all work. We arrived there in the morning and were told to get on a bus that ended up taking us to Warner Brothers. We were then told that our movie star homes tour would start at 1:30. When we arrived back at the bus after the Warner Brothers tour at around 1:05, a Star Lines driver yelled at us for being late. It turns out the movie star tour started back at the original Star Lines location, and we needed to be shuttled back there first. The driver was extraordinarily rude -- as bad as I have seen. So the tours are great, but the logistics of getting to the tours and some of the Star Lines personnel leave a lot to be desired.

Excellent tour!!!! Very interesting and tour guide was very knowledgable! A must see tour!
Review by: Libby W, June 2016
We thoroughly enjoyed both of these tours - I particularly loved being able to sit on the friends set and have my photo taken using our own camera._br/_ The tour guide for the movie stars homes was informative and entertaining.
Review by: christine s, June 2016
I was extremely disappointed. I felt the Warner Brothers part was rushed. When I asked about taking photos in front of some of the sets I was told there wasn't time. We only saw one sound stage. There was a room that had TV props that I found by accident. The movie star tour was a waste of money.
Review by: Laszlo P, June 2016
This tour was amazing!
Review by: Samsey, June 2016
Thoroughly enjoyable. _br/_ Value for money.
Review by: Kristi K, June 2016
WB studio tour was 5 star. Movie star tour was 2 star. Did not have open top vehicle as promised so difficult to see and take pictures in places. Tour guide terrible. Lacked good communication skills, seemed to not know vehicle driver or where we were even going or what we were looking at sometimes!
