About Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood Guided Tour: TCM’s Classic Films Tour
From its origins as a cinema chain in 1923, Warner Bros. has been at the centre of Hollywood's most defining moments — Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, A Streetcar Named Desire, Singin' in the Rain, and Bonnie and Clyde were all made on this lot. The TCM Classic Films Tour is the perfect way to walk through that century of storytelling.
Your expert guide leads a 90-minute journey through the working backlot, including areas not accessible on the standard tour — the Property Department (where generations of props are stored) and the Rose Garden. At each stop, TCM hosts Ben Mankiewicz, Alicia Malone, Jacqueline Stewart, Eddie Muller, and Dave Karger appear via custom in-cart video clips to add context and colour to the classic films shot on each location.
After the guided portion, the remaining 2 hours are self-guided in Stage 48: Script to Screen — the most popular section of the tour. Here you'll find the fully recreated Central Perk café from Friends (complete with the iconic orange couch), Leonard and Sheldon's apartment from The Big Bang Theory, and interactive exhibits on the art of production design, costume, and special effects. A new SINNERS exhibit (running through April 2026) adds the latest chapter to the Warner Bros. story. Book your tickets on Thrillark and walk in the footsteps of Hollywood legends.

Insiders' Tips
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your tour start time — the studio requires check-in and security. Since the Warner Bros. lot is an active working studio, the backlot availability changes daily depending on what's filming. No two tours are identical — this is a genuine feature. The Stage 48: Script to Screen self-guided section is best explored after the guided portion, when you have the most energy. Sit on the Central Perk couch and take the photo — it's expected.
