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!

A friend & I are in Boston for a couple of days & wanted to make sure we saw the sights along the Freedom Trail. I came across this tour by happy accident, as I was not looking for a beer-inclusive tour (my friend doesn't enjoy beer as much as I do). However, this tour lived up to my expectations & then some! Brooke was a phenomenal guide, & we could all tell how much she enjoys her work, along with the history she shares on a daily basis. The taverns we visited were incredibly interesting, & the beers were pretty fabulous, too! I would be thrilled to take another tour with her the next time I'm in town!

This is our third trip to Boston and the Ye Old Tavern tour was by far the best! Brooke is an outstanding tour guide. The tour includes history and beers at three different historical taverns. Brooke makes the tour fun & entertaining. No need to find a costumed tour guide - this was the best tour in Boston. Thanks Brooke!

I took this tour with my wife on June 21 2015. We had a great time with our small group. Brooke is very easy to get along with and is a great tour guide. The beer suggestions are great. She has a way that blends Historical facts/stories and entertaining conversations perfectly. Make sure you say your Huzzah with gusto. My wife and I highly recommend Brooke and this tour hands down. I did go back to a couple of the Taverns for some drinks after my tour. HUZZAH!!
