How does the Universal Studio Tour work?

The tour lasts about 45–60 minutes and is led by an in-person tram guide (who sits in the first car of the tram, facing the guests), with the aid of pre-recorded videos of Jimmy Fallon. It travels through the Front Lot, Backlot, and various attractions, passing sets and properties from movies along the way.
