Step into the world of film and television on this immersive, full-day tour through Boston and the North Shore. Begin at the Boston Public Garden, where Good Will Hunting fans can sit at the famous bench from Robin Williams and Matt Damon's emotional lakeside scene. Nearby, retrace Ted’s playful antics on the garden’s lawns and capture photos by the iconic swan boats. Next, visit Cheers Beacon Hill, the real-life bar behind the beloved sitcom. Snap a photo at its recognizable staircase and enjoy a themed drink where "everybody knows your name." In the afternoon, head to Cape Ann to explore CODA’s heartfelt story. At Rockport Wharf, see the real fishing boat “Angela Rose,” symbolizing Ruby’s family and her dream to sing beyond the horizon. Then, follow the Gloucester coastline to Manchester by the Sea’s filming spots. The sweeping ocean views and quiet streets echo the film’s grief, healing, and resilience. From laughter to legacy, every stop brings the screen to life.

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for this tour? I want to gift it to my teenager!

A: There isn't a strict minimum age for the tour, but it's designed for ages 12 and up since it involves some longer walking distances and historical context that may resonate better with older teens. If they're a big fan of movies and shows, they'll definitely enjoy the experience! Just make sure they can handle a full day of sightseeing.

Q: What if it rains on the day of our tour? Is it still happening?

A: The tour operates rain or shine! The guides are prepared for wet weather, and many of the stops have both indoor and outdoor options. Just pack a waterproof jacket and enjoy the sights! If conditions are severe, they may reschedule, but that’s rare.

Q: How much walking is involved on this tour? My parents aren't super active.

A: The tour includes some walking, especially at the Boston Public Garden and Cape Ann, but it's not overly strenuous. Expect about 1-2 miles of walking, with plenty of breaks for photos and drinks. If your parents can handle a leisurely stroll, they should be just fine. There are also options to sit and relax at certain spots.

Just booked the Classic Television Tour in Boston! Any tips?

Hey everyone, I just bought the Classic Television and Sightseeing Locations tour for my sister’s birthday! She’s a HUGE fan of Good Will Hunting and Cheers. I’m so excited to see the swan boats and try a drink at Cheers. Any advice on what to wear or bring? Should I pack snacks or just go with the flow?

Had a blast on the Boston TV Tour!

Just got back from the Classic Television tour, and it was so much fun! The stops at the Public Garden and Cheers were highlights for me. Our guide was super knowledgeable about both the movies and Boston history. I thought it was going to be just a bunch of pictures, but we really got into the stories behind them too. I highly recommend it for any movie buff!
