The tour was fine but be aware the tour is 1 1/2 hours long, not 2 1/2 hours long (there is conflicting times on the description).
Overall, the tour was a fun way to walk around Beacon Hill which is where the tour was primarily located.

So many movies were filmed in Boston. It was fun to find out which ones and which scenes. Sam did a great job of sharing the actual movie scene clips so we could compare to where and what we were seeing in Boston.

We had an amazing tour guide, Ryan Beard. He was personable, knowledgeable, and pleasing to the eye.
We were fortunate to be the only people on the tour.
Improvement- better information about where the meeting place is. It should have said Information Center in Boston Commons. We were across the street looking for the address. Even and odd numbers were on the street side by side so it was confusing. We had to call and then they explained.
Ashley_H, Jul 2021
Do not book! I don’t think this tour is in service and yet they still took our money! Such a waste of time.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Unfortunately we had a tour guide emergency, and issued this customer a refund, and are providing two free public tour tickets to use in the future.

Mike was awesome, really funny and made it interesting. The walk is well designed and takes you to all the key places
Michele_O, Sep 2018
Tour was informative and fun. The description of the tour was exactly as stated. Meeting location should be clearly indicated as outside of the visitors center.

Once
I found the tour guide, three other people were not given the change of location either the tour was great. The guide, MJ did a wonderful job.
Jennifer G, May 2016
Our tour guide Liz was so great. She knew so much because of her personal experience. My one complaint would be the difficulty I had in seeing the pictures on the ipad.
