Packages are one way in, not the only one. Direct from the operator, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour covers about three hours: a guided cart tour of the backlot, then self-paced time at Stage 48 and the Friends, DC and Harry Potter exhibits. Paramount runs a compact two-hour version of its lot from Melrose Avenue. Film Freak Tours and The Movie Guys take a different angle entirely, walking and driving you to actual filming locations.
