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!

My wife and I went to Boston recently and this was our favorite tour by far. Brooke was our guide and she was fun and energetic. Her knowledge of the lesser known history leading up to the American Revolution was phenomenal. I would also recommend her book as companion piece to the tour. It lasted about 2 and half hours and my wife and I both would have loved to hang with Brooke even longer to hear more about old Boston. Well worth it!!!

My husband and I spent a long weekend in Boston. We did the Ye Old Tavern Tour on a Sunday at 2:00. We had a complete blast! Megan was our guide and she was amazing! We met some really great people in our group. I would highly recommend doing this tour. If they taught history this way in school I'd definitely remember it!

We had a blast walking the Freedom Trail with Megan from Ye Olde Tavern Tours on Friday, June 30. She was full of information and stories about the founding fathers, the area and the beer! The taverns we toured were varied so we saw small quaint ones along with more modern.. but they were all full of history. We appreciated Megan's scholastic background (she's so darn smart!) because it really added to the tour. For the price and the amount of beer we tried, this tour is a deal! We'd do it again and recommend it - along with Megan - very highly!
