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!

Rachel was a phenomenal tour guide! It was raining for our tour, but she made it fun and interesting anyway! The history of the city is the real highlight of this tour. The fact that a lot of history was made while drinking beer in a tavern is a bonus! We tasted locally crafted beers and enjoyed them all. Thanks, Rachel, for making our college reunion one that we will not forget. P.S. We LOVED the Isabella Gardner Museum too! Thanks for the tip!

Had a great time with Brooke as she walked us along the Freedom Trail. High energy, lots of cool historic details and great choice of old pubs with lots of character. You can tell Brooke is very passionate about Boston's history and her tours are so engaging and fun. I'd do the same tour again!
