Easy-moderate. There is some minor hill walking. |

I’m not a big movie buff. Will I still like the tour?
We certainly hope so. The tour is a great way to see the city, even if you are not a movie fan. The tour not only takes guests to movie locations, it also weaves its way through picturesque Beacon Hill and the Public Garden. You’ll also see the State House and the Athenaeum. |
Will I run into a movie star?
It is possible but unlikely. But we’ll keep our eyes open. |
