Boston Movie Mile Walking Tour
About
The Boston Movie Mile Walking Tour, run by On Location Tours, leads visitors through Boston Common, the Public Garden and Beacon Hill to more than 30 spots seen in movies and TV shows. Guides are local actors who share behind-the-scenes stories about filming in Boston. Stops include park benches from Good Will Hunting, The Departed and Ted, a Dunkin’ featured in The Town, and the street where a car crash was filmed for Blown Away.
The route also passes a Departed mob hangout, the spot where James Gandolfini stood in A Civil Action, a historic home from The Thomas Crown Affair and the State House, which appeared in Amistad and Ally McBeal. Guests can stop for a drink at the Bull and Finch Pub, the original Cheers bar. Private tours offer a more personal experience, with extra time for questions about life on set and help getting the best photos.
