My mom, grandma and I all took this tour! Brooke was amazing! She brought the history to life and it was fun stopping at historical taverns along the way! Is there anything better than touring and drinking at the same time?? Do this tour! You won't regret it.

I had a friend in town for Labor Day weekend and was looking for something fun and new, and this tour caught my eye. It was fabulous! Brooke is a fantastic guide! She kept us all entertained with tidbits of Freedom Trail history that I certainly didn't pick up on my 8th grade tour...the Taverns we visited and the beer we had made it much more interesting. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know Boston's history and have a lot of fun along the way.

Spending a few days in Boston and wanted to experience the Freedom Trail in an entertaining way. Ye Olde Tavern Tours was more than anticipated. Brooke was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. She walked you through key points leading up to the revolution with new insight and painted a picture that made you see it though new eyes. Her passion and enthusiasm was unparalleled and I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys history and craft brew. Two thumbs up!
