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!

Brooke led a wonderful tour. She is enthusiastic and makes the history of Boston come alive. All three taverns we went to were great and you got to choose from 3 different beers or cider at each. I'm not a beer drinker and still loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone going to Boston.

I'm going to compare Ye Olde Tavern Tours with a beer tour we took in Brussels, and while I would've thought nothing could top Brussels and Belgian beer (what could be better?!) the Ye Olde Tavern Tour in Boston with Brooke as our guide did - it was absolutely EXCELLENT! Brooke knows her history and is an incredibly entertaining and enthusiastic storyteller so combine that with outstanding customer service (she knew the name of everyone in the group and where they were from before we even left Boston Common!) and you can't ask for a better way to get to know the city. I am a very detailed trip planner and find fun facts to share with my husband about every city we visit. I had read at least 10 Boston tour guides and had 8 pages of notes but Brooke managed to surprise me with things I didn't know. If you're trying to decide on a beer tour or history tour in Boston - Ye Olde Tavern Tours is the one!

Highly recommend this tour, getting educated without it hurting!! We tried local Beers from 3 taverns with history on their own. Brooke did a great job of giving you enough history without going overboard .
