We brought a group of 8 crazy friends to tackle the Tavern Tour and our guide, Kristin, was beyond up to the challenge of entertaining us! The tour was full of interesting facts, historical sights and good jokes. I'd recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn about colonial Boston, have a good time in general and enjoy some craft beers.

My husband and I did this tour today and it was great! Before buying our tickets we debated whether we should pay $50 +tax for a tour of the Freedom Trail with 3 beers when a Freedom Trail tour without beers costs $14. We decided to do it and it was well worth it! Brooke was a fantastic tour guide! She did a great job of bringing the historical figures of the American Revolution to life, making them real people and not just the 2 dimensional characters you read about in high school. There were great beer selections at each of the 3 taverns, all craft beers from New England. I recommend this tour to anyone (over 21 of course)!

Brooke (PHD in history) gives a phenomenal tour of the freedom trail including 3 taverns. This tour is chalk full of real history, pictures, and beer! Worth every penny. Look no further for a really great historical tour.
