Ye Olde Tavern Tours

Overview

Ye Olde Tavern Tours offers historic tavern tours in Boston because we believe beer makes history even better! On our guided walking tours, you'll see ten sites on the Freedom Trail and grab a beer at some of the nation's most historic taverns. When visiting Boston, there are certain historic sites and stories you shouldn't leave without seeing and hearing, and you'll do all of that on our tour, all while drinking beer!

Led by expertly-trained historians (our guides have a minimum of a Bachelor's in History and many of them are currently working towards or have a PhD in History), you'll learn about the drunken and revolutionary history of Boston in the eighteenth century.

We cap each tour at 12 people to provide an intimate and accessible experience. Our tours are the most fun and social way to experience Boston!

We are a small, local business and we greatly appreciate your support!

ALL GUESTS MUST BE 21+ YEARS OF AGE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Had a great experience on the Ye Olde Tavern Tour with our guide Brian. He had a wealth of historical knowledge that he coupled with fantastic personality and good humor. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves to learn the history of the American Revolution and have a few drinks along the way. The tour stops at three taverns, and the drinks at these taverns are included in the price of the tickets. There is about a mile of walking, but doesn’t seem that daunting when punctuated with the stops at the bars. The tour does a good job of reviewing the history of 1765-75 in short bursts, while following the Freedom Trail. 10/10 would do on our next trip to Boston.

This was a fantastic tour!! Brooke, our guide, was exceptional. She was engaging, knowledgeable and fun! The beer selection was great at each of the taverns we visited (3 in all with 3 to 4 beers to choose from at each). Great historical information (both anecdotal and factual). I cannot say enough about this tour and recommend to anyone that likes beer and history.
