Will Hunting' fans continue to stop by our tavern," says Susan Woods, L Street
Tavern owner. "This tour is a great way movie enthusiasts can get a taste of
Boston movie making history."
Boston Movie Tours is family run by Boston
locals, Jeff and Rachel Coveney. The idea started back in 2002 when the Coveneys
visited Hawaii on their honeymoon and took the Hawaii Movie Tour. "Seeing where
'Jurassic Park' was filmed and swinging on the same rope as Harrison Ford in
'Raiders of the Lost Ark' really brought the movies to life," says Rachel
Coveney. "We wanted to bring that same experience to Boston."
