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!

Let me say thank you to Brooke who guided myself and husband from Fanuel Hall to Boston Common since we were in the wrong place. Brooke made this tour of historic Boston fun and interesting. With tidbits of history most people don't know. The taverns had a lot of history and local brewed beers are the best.

Next time you're in Boston do yourself a favor and take the Ye Olde Tavern Tour. The walking tour is a tremendous time - and the stops at the taverns for local brews aren't half-bad either. But the tour leader, Brooke, makes it all worthwhile. A simply charming young lady that has as much historical knowledge of Boston as anyone you'll ever meet. Like a tremendous teacher, Brooke makes learning all the ins and outs of not only the history of Boston, but the history of drinking in Boston, a memorable adventure and a heck of a good time. Take the tour. Drink local brews. Meet Brooke. You'll be glad you did!

Do you want to try unique beers only offered at specific taverns? Do you want to find out more about Boston history? This tour combined a great historical freedom trail tour with beer tastings that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise! Brooke was so knowledgeable (phD in American history!), and she made it really interesting and fun. We saw the major sites along the Freedom Trail while also getting to share a beer in taverns that patriots and past presidents have enjoyed. Truly a great introduction to Boston and a really enjoyable time.
