We’re the #1-rated food and drink experience in Boise on Tripadvisor.

You’ll meet your local guide 15 minutes before start time, then walk a short, flat route (often under one mile) to four or more partner restaurants for tastings. Between stops, your guide shares stories about Boise’s history, architecture, and food scene. Tours last about 2 to 3.75 hours and blend eating, walking, and local storytelling.

Tours run 2 to 3.75 hours depending on the experience. Walking routes are short and flat — typically a half-mile to about 1.5 miles — with at least two sit-down stops. Most reasonably active guests handle them comfortably, though you should expect to be standing or walking for much of the tour.

Most tours include four or more tasting stops at local restaurants. Together they add up to roughly a full meal — most guests don’t need lunch or dinner afterward. We recommend a light snack beforehand rather than arriving completely empty, since tastings are spread across the length of the tour.

Each tour has a specific meeting point shared in your confirmation email after booking. Tours don’t always end where they begin, but end points are usually within easy walking distance of the start. Detailed arrival and parking directions are included in the reminder email sent before your tour.

Yes. A mix of metered street, surface lot, and garage parking is available near every meeting point. Your pre-tour reminder email includes specific parking guidance for your tour, and the Compare Tours page at indulgeboise.com/compare lists arrival details for each meeting location.

Yes. Restrooms are available at most tasting locations along the route, so you’ll have regular opportunities throughout the tour.

Bring a mobile device (with camera function), a small bottle of water, and comfortable walking shoes. In summer, add sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and an umbrella. In cooler months, dress in layers and consider gloves and a scarf. Tours run rain, snow, or shine — we have a limited supply of ponchos and umbrellas if the weather turns.

Tours run rain, snow, or shine, so check the forecast and dress accordingly. During inclement weather we arrange to move stops indoors wherever possible, and we keep a limited supply of ponchos and umbrellas on hand. Jackets and umbrellas are recommended in fall and winter.

Yes, when we know in advance. Enter any restrictions — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies — in the notes when you book, or call us. We’ll coordinate with the restaurants to make substitutions whenever possible, though we can’t guarantee every accommodation. Please tell us about serious allergies directly so we can plan safely.

Most Indulge Boise tours include a drink tasting, and several offer optional alcoholic beverage samples at two to three stops. The Boise River Urban Wine Trail Tour centers on expert-led wine tastings. Water is available at many stops, but we suggest bringing a bottle to stay hydrated, especially in warm weather.

Yes. Alcohol samples are optional, and non-alcoholic alternatives are part of the experience. The tours are built around food, history, and culture, so guests who don’t drink still enjoy the full experience. Let your guide know your preference and they’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Absolutely. Solo guests are common on our tours, and the small-group format makes it easy to meet fellow travelers and locals. Your guide makes sure everyone feels included, and many solo guests tell us the shared tastings and conversation are a highlight.

Our public tours are small — capped at 12 guests — so you get a personal experience and real conversation with your guide. Larger parties can book a private tour for groups beyond that size.

Children are welcome, though the content is designed for adults. Many kids enjoy trying new foods and learning about the city. Because tours run 2 to 3.75 hours with significant walking and standing, parents should decide if the length suits their child. For dedicated family or school groups, ask about a customized private tour.

Most Indulge Boise food tour offers a child/youth price of ~$99 for ages 12 and under. We don’t offer senior discounts, and most tours are single adult pricing. Infants and very young children who won’t be tasting don’t need a ticket — just note their attendance and age when booking.

Most tour routes and stops are wheelchair- and stroller-friendly. Please tell us in advance so we can confirm accommodations for your specific tour. For guests who are hearing impaired, a written script of the guide’s narration is available on request.
