I took a RIP tour in October. It was my first tour and it was excellent! Next trip we will be doing the VIP tour at Universal. You can do Universal, IOA or both. For us it was exciting, informational and well worth the price. It was an experience that made us feel special and we had great fun doing it. I suppose it didnt hurt that 3/4 of our group never showed up so we ended up being a group of 4, what a blast!
