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!

I had a friend in town for Labor Day weekend and was looking for something fun and new, and this tour caught my eye. It was fabulous! Brooke is a fantastic guide! She kept us all entertained with tidbits of Freedom Trail history that I certainly didn't pick up on my 8th grade tour...the Taverns we visited and the beer we had made it much more interesting. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know Boston's history and have a lot of fun along the way.

Spending a few days in Boston and wanted to experience the Freedom Trail in an entertaining way. Ye Olde Tavern Tours was more than anticipated. Brooke was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. She walked you through key points leading up to the revolution with new insight and painted a picture that made you see it though new eyes. Her passion and enthusiasm was unparalleled and I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys history and craft brew. Two thumbs up!

We brought a group of 8 crazy friends to tackle the Tavern Tour and our guide, Kristin, was beyond up to the challenge of entertaining us! The tour was full of interesting facts, historical sights and good jokes. I'd recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about colonial Boston, have a good time in general and enjoy some craft beers.
