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!

Kristen had a terrific way of sharing her knowledge in a fun and interesting approach - keeping us intrigued up to the last sip of beer. I highly recommend!

Small group, only 12 of us. Easy to hear the tour guide. Kristen is finishing up a PHD in history, so she was VERY knowledgable. Also very well versed on the beer. Everyone was friendly, asking questions and having fun. Would definitely do this again!

I took a tour on Friday, 11/08/2019 with Elizabeth. I'm a local, so I booked it for myself and family that were not from the U.S. Elizabeth was one of the finest tour guides I've listened to - she brought the pre-Revolutionary War era of Boston to life with stories and media. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned new things about my own city - and of course, had some tasty local beers as well. The tour itself is well-organized; chairs are waiting for you at each pub along the way and there was a good mix of walking, listening, and drinking.
