On Location Tours based in New York City takes groups on bus and walking tours spanning movie and TV filming sites in New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. During the tours, attendees can experience famous locations from the screen coming to life—the Greenwich Village apartment building from “Friends” in New York City or the L Street Tavern from “Good Will Hunting” in Boston are two of many sites groups might visit. The tours are led by local actors who have a working knowledge of the film industry, helping them give guests an immersive experience, throwing in trivia questions and behind-the-scenes tidbits along the way. “What’s especially great about it is our tour guides have just amazingly infectious personalities,” says Erin Miller, public relations, sales, and marketing manager at On Location Tours. “They have definitely acted their whole lives.” Private tours are available as is the company’s Make-a-Movie workshop, a team-building option available for groups of film buffs to hone their filmmaking skills in New York City.
