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 husband and I did this tour today and it was great! Before buying our tickets we debated whether we should pay $50 +tax for a tour of the Freedom Trail with 3 beers when a Freedom Trail tour without beers costs $14. We decided to do it and it was well worth it! Brooke was a fantastic tour guide! She did a great job of bringing the historical figures of the American Revolution to life, making them real people and not just the 2 dimensional characters you read about in high school. There were great beer selections at each of the 3 taverns, all craft beers from New England. I recommend this tour to anyone (over 21 of course)!

Brooke (PHD in history) gives a phenomenal tour of the freedom trail including 3 taverns. This tour is chalk full of real history, pictures, and beer! Worth every penny. Look no further for a really great historical tour.

What a great way to spend an afternoon in Boston! Brooke really made the tour interesting with her knowledge of the area, historical buildings, and especially the people involved with the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The history of the taverns is something you're not going to find anywhere else. I would most definitely recommend this tour.
