    Thank you for joining me on the Universal Studios Japan VIP Experience tour! Tell me, where in the world are you watching from?

    When Naty asks Chris if this is his first time at USJ I could almost feel him doing the mental math of how much USJ content he has on RUclips 😂

    Naty did a great job! It's likely that she hasn't had many english-speaking tours that have so much prior knowledge about the park. Most people purchasing this are brand new to it, may only be there once their whole life. In Orlando, the tour guide will sort of gauge your experience and pretty much let you take the wheel if they feel like you know it, just offering their helpful advice and deep knowledge about history and secrets.

    Chris you're so shy this is so funny 😂😂😂 she's very nice but a bit to much for me 😅 (toilet stops are cool especially for someone like me who has a autoimmune disease) what's funny is that you probably knew so much more than her but she doesn't know it and it's really fun to watch!

    Jaws is such a classic! It is amazing how they created the animatronic for both the movie and the ride! I didn't see it till I was in high school 😅 Honestly terrifying but so good!

    Omg thank you for this video! It couldn't have arrived at a better time! I've been binging your videos for our Japan trip next year and was contemplating on getting a VIP tour package. For a little extra more than the Express Pass, I think it's worth it for my family - I have a special needs brother who wouldn't be too thrilled with the lines.
    I have a question though, would you happen to know if tourists are allowed to book VIP tours on the JP version of the site? We actually wanted to book the AMEX version of the VIP Super Nintendo world since it has extra perks like unlimited popcorn and free drinks. Or are foreigners limited to this one option on the English site? Thank you!

    Going to Japan later this month was wondering if this tour would be good for my wife and 2 kids and would they be let in the rides as well or do most rides have height restrictions my oldest is 3.

    • @TenebraeLux
      @TenebraeLux 28 дней назад

      You can check the height restrictions for each attraction in the USJ site. If your oldest is three, it's likely they wouldn't be let into plenty of rides, but in the park itself there's a space for younger children.

  • @TheCobruhAlienat0r
    @TheCobruhAlienat0r 2 месяца назад

    At first I thought the price was reasonable for a VIP tour because I thought it meant they took you the front of the line for every ride you wanted to ride and that they would explain more things but for only getting to skip the line for 4 rides and it to be over in a couple of hours doesn't seem worth it. I thought they would come into the stores with you to help with translation as well.

    I actually am a tour guide and do tours of both, disney and universal studios in japan (universal less often because i live in tokyo). I kind of don't like that she leaves you alone for the rides, shopping etc. In my experience that is when my customers want the most support like translation or explnation or just having someone besides them if not the whole group wants to go.
    Her explanations of the park are nice but it feels a little rehearsed and flat.
    Just my professional opinion

      She probably knew that Chris is 'at home' and fluent in Japanese already. So he didnt need that extra attention on that point. But your points are valid, i hope she does so with less knowledgeable partys.

    • @CuteVidoll
      @CuteVidoll 2 месяца назад +1

      @@GowtuGames I actually have a variety of guests as I guide many custom tours from 3-8 hours to food tours and simple "support" tours which the disney and usj ones are and some customers have already visited Japan once or sometimes even stayed for an extended time. In that case your job as a guide should be to add to their experience and make them enjoy something they already know in a new light.
      I understand that is a tour planned and monitored by usj so they probably do not allow her to go on the rides with the clients so its not her fault.
