We purchased tickets prior to getting too Universal but upon entry spoke with a VIP representative who encouraged us to do the VIP tour. Yes, it was costly but as it was a cold wet day, we spend time inside out of weather with breakfast and drinks, warm room for VIP guest only prior to park opening. We had an amazing tour guide named Michael who showed as around all day. You skip all the waiting in lines with the VIP access for the rides. Saved a lot of time. Michael is extremely friendly, very loved by his colleagues as he was like a celebrity on our tour. He was happy to hold bags etc. whilst we went on the rides. The behind-the-scenes tour which is included in the package was great as you get to go into the sound studios etc. that other guests do not get to do or see. It was great. You get a buffet lunch which was amazing, raincoats, lanyard, incredible guide. After tour you can use your pass to still get access to the VIP rides etc. again without any wait times. Highly recommend if you can afford it but not everyone has that money, once in a lifetime activity for us so we splurged and done it.
