First off, our guide Zach was fantastic. The tour started with a guided walk through some of the costumes and props used in recent movies. The guides tell you lots of interesting tidbits about each movie. Then you’re in the open cart (there is a cover) driving through the lot. We paused to look at several areas, and videos provided context, showing how a street was transformed as the set for a particular show. We visited the set for Lucifer, then were dropped off to the indoor self-guided tour where you could get your photo taken on the sets of Friends and the Big Bang theory. There were lots of props to look at from movies and tv shows, I just wish there had been a little more “inside information” to read as the props had mostly just labels rather than information.
I would normally rate the tour 3 stars, it was interesting, but there were no real “wow” factors, except for Zach, whose engaging personality and consideration for my disability deserve a star of his own.
