3 reviews for Boston Movie Tours
This tour was a lot of fun. I've lived in Boston for a long time now and done a lot of touristy stuff, but this was very different and gave a different perspective.
I liked how much of the city we covered, and how the bus took you away from the traditional tourist areas. It was great to go to South Boston to see where they filmed a scene from 'Good Will Hunting' (especially because that was a bar and they left time to get a drink).
During the tour the guide will ask trivia questions and whoever answers the most right gets a prize at the end. I thought that was a fun way to keep people involved and interested (and I'm really psyched that I got to take home a trophy!)
Our tour guide was a little on the movie-snob side, somewhat horrified that we hadn't seen The Departed yet. With that said, he knew a lot about Boston movies and I learned a lot more then I knew going in.
The tour lasted about 2.5 hours, starting in Boston Common, then taking a bus around every corner of the city. We stopped a total of three places: the L street tavern (Good Will Hunting), some other place where someone from the Departed fell off a building, and by the bay where a portion of some Rock movie was filmed.
At the end you're dropped off at the very crowded and overwhelming Cheers (but you get 15% off with you BMT id).
Overall it was a neat tour, somewhat worth the $40, but wouldn't be my first choice. Do a duck tour.
This tour covered the whole city... Even SOUTHIE. Ive lived here my whole life and I saw stuff I'd never even heard of before. Tourists or locals, this is a blast......and you make 2 bar stops!
