This is the world-famous Universal Studios Hollywood backlot tram tour, so you definitely cannot miss it. The tour lasts anywhere from between 45 minutes to an hour, with a guide as well as TV monitors dishing out tons of info along the way. I think the monitors are doing more than the guides these days, which I actually dont like so much, but its a minor complaint. You begin by going through the front lot, which looks exactly like youd imagine a production studio to look, before going into the backlot to visit all of the mock sets. Its rare to see any real work going on, even though the huge number of films, TV shows, music videos, etc., that they tell you have been shot on each set proves that much work actually does take place. You are bound to recognize at least a couple sites from a movie scene. Lets not forget the fun stuff thats just for the tram ride itself--King Kong, Earthquake, Jaws, the collapsing bridge, the Mummys tomb, the flash flood, and, perhaps the cheesiest but most classic attraction at Universal, the parting of the Red Sea. This is a must every time.
