Great Way to See Downtown Boise
Jerali S, Oct 2019
Had a great time with Ha, a wonderful guide with lots of information for us. The stops were all great, and all the food was wonderful. Everyone at each stop was so kind, and someone took the time to speak with us, giving a little history or tidbit about the served food. Thoroughly enjoyed the time.
Great event for an Outing with Co-Workers
Erin_K, Aug 2019
This was a great event to attend as a work outing for 8 co-workers since we work in an office downtown. I had never known about quite a few of these restaurants but will certainly be coming back to them now I know what they offer. They all had something very unique to offer and it demonstrated how diverse the food scene in Boise really is! Our tour guide was very friendly, patient and efficient. Perhaps a little more research should be done on Freak Alley as a bystander suggested factual discrepancies, but otherwise she knew the city well and you could tell how much she has comes to love it. Thank you so much for presenting such a wonderful event!

I really enjoyed this event and it was very yummy too. Michael was a great guide with interesting information about Boise. Met some nice people that also made the food tasting fun.
Outstanding Tour & Value: Induldge Boise Food Tours - Angela was the Greatest!!!!
John A, Jul 2018
This was our first ever Culinary Tour and the best part about it was that it included a Cultural/Historical information along the way so very informative. Angela was detailed and relaxed throughout the tour. She gave us a great overview before we got started and all along the way you could tell she was a part of the community and was on a first name basis with all the owners/proprietors of each place we went to.
Heck - we even ran into the Mayor of Boise who came over and gave Angela and Bob ( one of the other persons on the Tour with us who knew the Mayor for over 40 years ) hugs and hand shakes and we got a photo with the mayor :) VIP Tour all the way and soon to be a certified ZERO calorie tour since you walk most of the food off by the end :) Thanks Again Angela for a great tour for first timers. My wife and I have vowed that we will start each and every town that we visit with one of these type tours.
This was a lovely experience, well...
Donna T, Nov 2017
This was a lovely experience, well balanced with season-inspired bruschetta, Thai rolls, olive oil tasting, chocolate, and more. Evangel was a great guide, well informed and enthused. We learned about local architecture and the state capital, and Freak Alley, full of outdoor murals. It was a fun time, and we picked several items for hostess gifts from the local shops.
The food was excellent, tour guide...
Linda L, Aug 2016

The tour was great and the tour guide was outstanding. We enjoyed learning about the history of downtown Boise and sampling the culinary treats of the local restaurants. I would recommend this tour to my friends.
