What a great way to spend an afternoon in Boston! Brooke really made the tour interesting with her knowledge of the area, historical buildings, and especially the people involved with the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The history of the taverns is something you're not going to find anywhere else. I would most definitely recommend this tour.

A friend & I are in Boston for a couple of days & wanted to make sure we saw the sights along the Freedom Trail. I came across this tour by happy accident, as I was not looking for a beer-inclusive tour (my friend doesn't enjoy beer as much as I do). However, this tour lived up to my expectations & then some! Brooke was a phenomenal guide, & we could all tell how much she enjoys her work, along with the history she shares on a daily basis. The taverns we visited were incredibly interesting, & the beers were pretty fabulous, too! I would be thrilled to take another tour with her the next time I'm in town!

This is our third trip to Boston and the Ye Old Tavern tour was by far the best! Brooke is an outstanding tour guide. The tour includes history and beers at three different historical taverns. Brooke makes the tour fun & entertaining. No need to find a costumed tour guide - this was the best tour in Boston. Thanks Brooke!
