Are you the type of person who enjoys exploring new places, but would rather do so on your own than take a tour full of people? While I’m usually game for a guided adventure of any kind, I have to say that I have taken a few less-than-stellar tours in my day. If your past tour experience involves dry, unknowledgeable guides, neverending walks, and crowded buses full of loud tourists, believe me, I feel your pain. However, I am here to urge you to take a second chance on a tour, because I have discovered a trip like no other! If you are visiting Boston, you just have to experience a Tour of Boston’s Revolutionary and Drunken Past! History and beer? Sign me up! 

This unique experience is part historical tour and part pub crawl. It's such a fun way for adults to explore the city! Whether you are visiting Boston on vacation or have lived here for years, this tour will not disappoint.
Viator
The tour follows Boston’s Freedom Trail, along which you will stop at 10 different historical locations. Along the way, enthusiastic, trained historians from Ye Olde Tavern Tours will answer all your questions and tell you stories about the city’s important revolutionary past.
Viator
Stops include Faneuil Hall, Granary Burying Ground, and the Old South Meeting House.

Although you will be doing about a mile of walking, the route will be broken up by stops at three different taverns. You will have a chance to rest your feet and sit back and relax with a tasty pint.

However, your history lesson doesn’t stop once you have your beer in hand! Your guide will fill you in on the significance of each establishment and tell you about some famous folks who once raised their glasses in these historic places.
And did I mention that drinks are included in the price of the tour? Now that’s a pretty good deal.

The tour groups are kept small, with only a maximum of 12 people. This allows guests to have an intimate experience where they can converse with the guide and spend some time getting to know each other.
Viator
The tours last two hours and take place in the afternoon. When you are finished, you can go back and have another drink at one of the historic pubs or spend more time exploring the city with new tour friends.

After all that tasty beer, a nap back at the hotel sounds like a good idea to me!
