Muy bien todo lo relacionado con el Parque. Pero el tiempo destinado a la estancia en el Parque es poco tiempo.. la actividad dura 7 horas y media. Pero si le quitas el viaje de ida y el de vuelta, te quedan 3 horas y media para entrar y disfrutar del parque. Tuvimos que acelerar la parte final para verlo todo. Deberían indicar el tiempo efectivo de estancia, descontando los trayectos, para poder evaluar antes de comprar Translate this opinion into English.

Everything related to the Park is very good. But the time allocated to stay in the Park is short... the activity lasts 7 and a half hours. But if you take away the round trip and the return trip, you have 3 and a half hours left to enter and enjoy the park. We had to speed up the final part to see everything. They should indicate the effective time of stay, discounting the journeys, to be able to evaluate before buying Opinion translated. Show original.

Los estudios son increíbles, merece la pena ir. Referente a la excursión tened en cuenta que si cogéis la opción de Victoria el mapa te lleva a otra dirección, no perdimos el tour gracias a preguntar (por que ya había visto algún comentario informando de esto) y a que una señora nos indicó que era en el edificio de en frente por la parte de atrás. Deberían explicar mejor este dato porque lleva a confusión. De resto todo genial,en 4 horas mos sobró tiempo de verlo todo con calma. Translate this opinion into English.

The studios are amazing, it's worth going. Regarding the excursion, keep in mind that if you take the Victoria option, the map takes you to another address. We didn't miss the tour thanks to asking (because I had already seen a comment reporting this) since a lady told us that it was in the building opposite, at the back. They should explain this information better because it can be confusing. Otherwise, everything was great. In 4 hours we had plenty of time to see everything calmly. Opinion translated.

Muy buena experiencia visitando los estudios. Son preciosos y puedes ver cómo han hecho las películas, te das cuenta de todo el trabajo que hay detrás. Lo malo es que el tiempo para la visita es algo justo, fuimos mas o menos rápido y sin muchas paradas y llegamos al autobús casi sin margen. Translate this opinion into English.

A very good experience visiting the studios. They're beautiful, and you can see how the films were made; you appreciate all the work that goes into them. The downside is that the time for the tour is somewhat limited; we went fairly quickly and without many stops, and we arrived back at the bus with almost no time to spare. Opinion translated.

Très chouette studio. Nous y avons passé près de 3h30/4h. Une petite heure en plus aurait été idéal. Le forfait avec navettes et billets d entrées permet de ne pas se soucier d organiser le transfert par soi-même, tout etait parfait. Au final, le prix est fort élevé pour cette prestation tout incluse même si je recommande Translate this opinion into English.

Very nice studio. We spent almost 3.5 to 4 hours there. An extra hour would have been ideal. The package with shuttles and entrance tickets means you don't have to worry about organizing the transfer yourself; everything was perfect. In the end, the price is very high for this all-inclusive service, even if I recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue una gran experiencia, todo fue bastante bien y da tiempo a disfrutar del parque el tiempo establecido. Son unas 3 horas dentro de los estudios y 1 hora en bus tanto para ir como para volver. Volvería a repetir. Importante saber que cuando llegas al punto de encuentro se hace como una especie de check in para identificarte y te ponen una pulsera que identifica al grupo que perteneces con la hora de vuelta Translate this opinion into English.

It was a great experience; everything went quite well, and there's plenty of time to enjoy the park for the allotted time. It's about 3 hours inside the studios and a 1-hour bus ride there and back. I would do it again. It's important to know that when you arrive at the meeting point, there's a sort of check-in process to identify you, and they give you a bracelet that identifies your group and your return time.
