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!

Our tour guide, Kristen, brought to life a side of the American Revolution my history lessons gleaned over for some obvious reasons. I had no idea Hutchinson and some beer soaked Bostonians were the kindling for the revolutionary fire that would be lit in Boston. Passionate storytelling with well coordinated beer breaks was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Huzzah!

Kristen was an exceptional tour guide. She is a bright and energetic person. My wife and I learned so much in just a few short hours and have a few beers too. My only suggestion would be to offer chips or pretzels at each stop.
