Since the tour is visiting real-life locations all around Boston, the tour’s itinerary can sometimes be impacted by traffic conditions, store hours, etc. On Location Tours assumes no liability or responsibility for: traffic conditions, access to sites, or other conditions beyond its control. **Are we on the bus the whole tour?** > Absolutely not! The tour takes place on a coach bus since the locations are spread out throughout the city. Each tour will get off the bus at a number of different locations along the way, giving you the opportunity to experience the locations and take pictures. Whenever you leave the bus, it is with the tour guide. The tour includes a mix of on-the-bus viewings of locations and stops to get off the bus to explore, all woven into the story of how they relate to the TV shows and movies that have portrayed them on the big and small screens. **Is there assigned seating on the bus?** > Seating is first come, first serve. If you have a number of people in your party that want to sit together, you should make sure to arrive 15-20 minutes early. Guests that arrive late or right at the starting time are much more likely to have to split up their group. **Is the bus equipped with seat belts?** > Buses are not equipped with lap or shoulder belts or harnesses. **If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list?** > No, On Location Tours does not keep a waiting list for the tours. Tours usually sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limited time availability. **Are cameras allowed on the tour?** > Yes. While photography and filming are not allowed on the bus portion of the tours, there are some great spots for taking photos and videos at the numerous stops along the way. You may take photos at the various locations your guide is highlighting. **Should I tip the tour guide?** > Gratuities are not included in the price of the tour ticket. A tip for exemplary service is always appreciated, but never required. **Are food and drink included on the tour? Can I bring my own?** > No food or drinks are served on the tour, but you can feel free to bring something of your own if it is neat and you’re sure to remove all garbage from the bus at the end of the tour. Alcohol is prohibited. **What type of bus is used?** > The tour is conducted on an enclosed coach bus. It is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer. **Are the buses handicapped accessible?** > Yes, but you need to contact On Location Tours directly before booking your tickets to arrange a wheelchair accessible bus, if needed. To do this, please email office@onlocationtours.com. Buses are not equipped with lap or shoulder belts or harnesses. We are committed to providing accessible tours to persons with disabilities and are able to provide accessible vehicles for passengers with mobility impairments. Notice of the need for an accessible vehicle at least 24 hours or more in advance is strongly recommended so as to guarantee the timely provision of an accessible vehicle. The wheelchair lifts can accommodate up to approximately 600 pounds total. However, If you will be using a fold-up wheelchair and will be traveling with someone who can provide assistance on and off the bus, you do not need to inform us ahead of time as all of our buses have room in the luggage compartment to store it. **Do you offer special packages, birthday parties, or private tours?** > Yes, private tours are available. Most groups, however, decide to attend the public tour for two reasons. First, it is usually significantly less expensive. Second, part of the fun of the tour is interacting with all the other TV & movie fans that take the public tour. If you are interested in booking a private tour, contact On Location Tours by emailing info@onlocationtours.com. **Can I bring luggage or strollers on the tour?** > The tour is conducted on a coach bus, so limited storage space is available. Please keep in mind that there will be several stops of up to 15-20 minutes each where we will be leaving the bus. If you are not comfortable leaving your belongings on the bus during this time, you might want to reconsider bringing them. We also have storage under the bus if needed. **Is there an age limit on the Boston TV & Movie Sites Tour?** > This tour is for all ages. **Are kids ages 1-5 free?** > Children 1-5 are free. You do not need to purchase a ticket for them, however, we cannot guarantee them a seat. If the bus is full they may have to sit on a lap. If the child will need a guaranteed seat, this must be purchased. While young children are welcome on the tour, please be aware if your child proves disruptive or excessively restless, you may be asked to leave. **Are the tours conducted in English only?** > The Boston TV & Movie Sites Tour is only available in English at this time. Since so much of the tour is visual, however, visitors from countries like Japan, Germany, Spain, and plenty of others have enjoyed the tour just the same! **Is there a bathroom on the bus?** > Not all of the buses used for the tour have bathrooms, but we will be making stops periodically where restrooms can be used. **Where does the tour end?** > The tour ends at the west end of the Boston Commons at the original Cheers™. **Is this a good sightseeing tour?** > Yes.
