Theater-on-Wheels was just awesome! I took my sister on the tour for her 50th birthday along with my sister-in-law. All three of us had such a great time that we are planning another trip next year along with more family members. Jim the tour guide was very entertaining. He kept us laughing the whole time. He also was very pleasant and kind. Thank you Jeff and Jim for a job well done! |

I was impressed with the range of the tour. It was nice to be able to see the entire city in a few hours. It was cool to see a movie scene and then see where it was filmed. |

A little anti-climactic, but most of it was great. The bus driver opened his big mouth about the episode of the Sopranos from the night before, which we had recorded and hadn't gotten a chance to watch yet since we weren't at home. |

I thought the group size was a little too big. I would have preferred a smaller group. Jim did a great job entertaining us- although some of the pics he had in his binder were hard to see bc the group was too big. I wished there was more of an emphasis on the newer movies instead of the older movies- which I've never heard of. |

Since I am not a movie buff (see #10), I was pleasently surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I was able to see neighborhoods in Boston that I had not seen and get information that was interesting. Tour guide was enthusiastic but a little green. On commons, tourguide talked with back to group, making it difficult to hear. Also, seemed to jump around and keep consulting notes. Did not understand the game played as gifts were not given out. Over all, I did enjoy the tour guide. |

It was fun having some interaction between the guide and the tour group. The tour seemed a bit short though - I didn't want it to end so quickly! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! |

Great points of interest, enjoyed the trivia questions and the stops. My only complaint is with the bus-it showed up almost 1 hour late, bathroom on board wasn't functional, TV's on the bus wouldn't work correctly to show the clips, and it seemed as if the driver didn't know where he was supposed to be going. Perhaps this was the first time the tour used this driver/bus? Kinks need to be worked out. |

I really enjoyed the tour. I especially like when the tour guide talked about a movie filming location then showed a scene from the movie. It really helped bring it 'alive'. I also enjoyed the movie trivia. I didn't realize how many movies were 'Boston Movies'. Keep up the great work and I hope to one day do the walking tour. |

I especially loved the stop at the bar where Good Will Hunting was filmed and having the owner talk to us about it made it a unique experience. I feel that in the future you should consider offering this tour in other languages as well or perhap's audio headsets? Keep up the good work! |

It started off fun, but I was disappointed in how it ended.

Also, the winner of the trivia contest should had won one of your t-shirts. Although, I did appreciate our tour guide and it was interesting learning the facts about Boston filmed movies. |

Our guide was quite informational, nice and young. The pictures in your album were great, and I had no idea so many tv shows and movies had been filmed in such a close area. Thank you for offering a different kind of tour that is well worth it. My husband will review this tommorrow. I am guessing at date. Our schedule is at his work. The booth people were not pushing your tour. They said sometimes no one showed up, or it was cancelled, to at least 3 people. One mile was far enough for me to walk. We enjoyed our cheers sandwich, and I bought 4 cheers mugs for my husband. I loved the ducks from Good Will Hunting in the park, and The Atheneaum where law shows were shot, and seeing the building and storefront changes movies did to street lights, signs, curtains in the windows, etc. It was fun! |

This was a fun and informative tour. I really enjoyed seeing the sights and learning some of Hollywood's facts and trivia. I would suggest, though, maybe having something at the end of the tour that visitors could use their 'movie money' towards, like a Movie Tour key chain or even a photo of a movie scene like the guides have. Also, it would be nice if the Theater-on-Wheels Tour could be available for visitors not in large groups. |
