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 spent an extended weekend in Boston for Columbus Day this year. We enjoyed the city tremendously. There is great food and many awesome activities. The most memorable for us will be the Tavern tours along the freedom trail. If you like beer or history you should consider this trip. If you like beer and history you should seriously consider this trip. If you love beer and history (like I do) then book this trip right now. Brooke brought history to life in a way that was easy to understand and very informative. We learned a great deal about the people and events that helped set the stage for the Revolutionary War. It was the perfect way to learn about the area and have a few cold ones along the way. We even learned some beer facts. It is well worth the cost. You'll have a great time. Huzzah!

It is apparent within 5 minutes of meeting tour guide Brooke that this is going to be a fantastic afternoon! She is outgoing, enthusiastic, organized and professional. The tour group is small, which makes the experience that much more personal. This unique tour explores the history of revolutionary Boston in an extraordinary way, as we visit various historical taverns and sites along the Freedom Trail. An engaging speaker, Brooke keeps us spellbound with facts, stories and fun! Wonderful choice of craft beer as we go! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Boston and is highly recommended!

My mom, grandma and I all took this tour! Brooke was amazing! She brought the history to life and it was fun stopping at historical taverns along the way! Is there anything better than touring and drinking at the same time?? Do this tour! You won't regret it.
