5.00Had 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

5.00This 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!
Tasty and Fun!

Outstanding Tour & Value: Induldge Boise Food Tours - Angela was the Greatest!!!!

5.00This 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.
