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!

Excellent tour, passionate guide (Brooke). Stories were well researched, well-sequenced, and built upon each other as the tour progressed. I don't even like beer, but the cider at two of the taverns was great...and the history lessons continued as we drank. More history than beer, but who knew that consumption of alcoholic beverages was so integral to our country's founding? Recommend highly.

Had an amazing tour with Brooke!!!!! She knew so much about history and was so personable it made for a great adventure. I drug my father along who did it just to humor me but even he had a blast. It was the perfect mix of history and beer. My favorite tavern was the 21st amendment. THANKS BROOKE!!!!
