With the express pass we passed quickly to all the attractions, it was a very nice experience. All the activities were great, we had a lot of fun. The only thing we didn't like was the customer service at the studio tour attraction, the staff was very unfriendly. Otherwise it was spectacular. We are people who speak Spanish and the same people who speak Spanish did not want to serve us in our language or simply served us in a bad way. We didn't find it curious and other people who didn't speak the language made an effort to speak it and help us in the best way. That's all I hope this helps improve customer service.

Here’s a polished review in English: --- The application is very easy to use and intuitive. The recommendations provided were accurate and truly helpful in planning our visit. We really appreciated how well everything was displayed, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We enjoyed our time at the park very much and had a wonderful experience overall. We would definitely use the app again and highly recommend it to others.

I went on a wednesday to avoid over crowding and had the best time. My favorite was being able to visit Hogsmead as the staff are all in character and friendly. I wish I had more time!

    The low review is because I think USJ is the best and the Hollywood is not good any more after seeing the one better.

    This was my second visit, but it was incredibly special, and the Universal tour was truly moving. The Universal Studios tour alone is worth the price of admission.
