The Studio Tour is the signature attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, and goes into a working film studio, with various film sets on the Universal Studios Lot. In recent years, guests have sat in multi-car trams for the duration of the ride. The Studio Tour lasts about 45–60 minutes and is led by a live tour guide who can be seen throughout the tram on video screens. It travels through the Front Lot, Backlot and various attractions, passing sets and props from movies along the way.

The tour has always been at the heart of Universal Studios Hollywood. From 1915, when visitors sat on bleachers for 25 cents, to the 1964 introduction of pink and white Glamor Trams, to the current technological sophistication, the behind-the-scenes view of a working movie studio has been a large attraction of the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park.

During the early years of the tram tour (1964–1965), all of the attractions at Universal were reached via the tram. The tour originally departed from the front lot commissary. In 1965, the upper lot studio tour center opened.

As the movie studio has continued to evolve, the tour has evolved along with it. In late 1989, CD players finally gave the tour guides a chance to rest their voices. In 1999, the CD players were replaced by DVD players and LCD screens, allowing the tour guides to show scenes from movies filmed at the locations in which the tram passes. In 2009, the LCD screens were upgraded to high-definition screens. In 2011, Jimmy Fallon joined the tour as a video host to supplement the live-action narration and also appeared in some filming scenes, who also performs an original song at the end of the tour, thanking the riders of the trams for attending and to have a great rest of the day.

Sets from the Universal movies Psycho, Back to the Future, The Sting, The Great Outdoors, and Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and the Paramount/DreamWorks film War of the Worlds are visited in the tour. Walt Disney Studios has also used the backlot for movies such as the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, 101 Dalmatians, 102 Dalmatians, and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, specifically for town scenes. There are also 'general purpose' sets visited, such as the neighborhood Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives, and a neighborhood that is made to look like an old west town. The tour also winds through sound stages, and the tour guide explains what movies, television shows, music videos, commercials, and/or still camera photoshoots are currently shooting on the lot.
