I found it surprisingly fun and enjoyable to ride around town in the trolley, just kicking back and enjoying how beautiful and special Boise truly is. Even if you've called Boise home for a long time, I recommend taking a moment to enjoy the city through a trolley tour.

I bought our tickets online. $20 for seniors, $22 for adults. My brother was visiting from out of…read moretown and our daughter also came along. I believe it's supposed to be a two-hour tour. You meet in the parking lot of the Red Lion Downtowner hotel. The woman at the front desk of the hotel cheerfully told us that the Trolley picks up at the front entrance. She was wrong, and I told a few people that drove up what the lady said. One, a man with a cane, then had to walk to the back of hotel after telling me that he was told to meet in the back. I told the driver, a nice ,older, white-haired man, and he made a comment but didn't seem too concerned. Then it started raining, and with the wind blowing, got pretty chilly. We brought jackets, but it was still cold. No one's fault. The driver has a laptop with a program that he plays, with narration that could have been AI generated, and photos. There are screens in front and midway in the seating area. The first part of the seating is covered on the sides with windows, the back part is open on the sides. There were flaps that could have been brought down to keep us warmer. I don't know why the driver didn't think of that. We sat in the very back, as the front was filling with seniors. Most of the tour was OK. There was commentary on historic buildings and parks, as well as 19th century homes. We stopped at the old Boise Train Depot, but it wasn't open today (only Sunday and Monday, I believe). We drove down Harrison Blvd, through Hyde Park, and past the Capitol building and Boise State University. When the tour was almost over, the driver seemed to be having trouble with his program. He pulled over to the side of the road and we all sat for at least 5, maybe 10 minutes, while he fiddled with his laptop. Finally, he gave up and everyone cheered. For the last 15 minutes, he narrated while we drove, which I'm told was good stuff, but his mic did not have enough volume for me to hear. So, I missed out on that. The tour ended up being about 2.5 hours, longer than I'd like on a chilly day. On top of the cost of the tickets, over $12 was added in "fees and taxes". For that kind of money, a witty, funny, and knowledgable guide should be doing the tour, entertaining the customers. I don't think that I would bring any more out of town guests on this tour.

I'll start by saying that you really can't beat the price for this tour. Any other type of tour in…read morethis city is likely going to cost you at least twice as much, so if you're looking to just get a quick look at parts of downtown on a dime, this is the tour for you. As mentioned, this is meant to be a fairly quick (1.5 hours) walking tour of part of downtown Boise to just get a brief sense of the city's history and culture. Our tour guide focused a lot of time and information on the Basque region and culture, and the rest of the time on some of the architecture and brief history of how the certain buildings came to be. The first half or so of the tour was very engaging and I definitely learned some interesting facts. But during the last half of the tour, I found my attention wandering off more than a few times as the guide shared stories that in my opinion ate up too much time, and weren't always related to Boise, which was a bit confusing. Don't get me wrong, it was an extremely friendly, upbeat, and clearly knowledgeable tour guide--I just would have liked learn a broader sense of Boise's downtown history rather than focusing in on facts and stories that don't necessarily help you appreciate the city. But with our guide we also got access to areas you might not otherwise see if you're only in town briefly, like a special Basque sports club and the Egyptian Theater. He also shared lots of valuable opinions on other places to go and things to experience. Overall, you can't beat the price, it's a leisurely walking tour, and you might learn some interesting history (perhaps more than you even care to learn!). It'd be a great tour for those who are unsure of what to do or where to go, and regardless, downtown Boise is a beautiful and entertaining area that you'll enjoy experiencing on foot.

What an unbelievable, beautiful experience. I apologize in…read moreadvance for how long this got, but I'm still ecstatic about the trip and started gushing. I had always been curious about this kind of travel, long before I'd ever heard the word "overland". When the covered wagons struck out westward, how did they prepare for a life on the road? What do long-range sailors pack with them on their boats for a month at sea? What would I want to bring with me if I was going for an extended trip to places where I could expect absolutely no support or resources? I wanted to try it for myself, but I knew I didn't have the hands-on experience to outfit a vehicle on my own, but without a vehicle where could I learn? I needed to gain some experience in someone else's rig. That's what led me to Idaho Overland Adventures. After looking over their options, we decided to go for the guided tour that they offer. My girlfriend and I packed what seemed like impossibly light bags for a four-day trip ("just some clothes and a toothbrush", they said), and came to Boise. The guides: Our guides were Joe and Brianne, the owners. They were amazing guides, highly experienced, and I was immediately glad that we opted for the guided tour. The trip starts with a briefing on the setup of the rigs, the planned route and contingencies, and safety and communication procedures. I'm an airline pilot, and everything about the setup, down to the use of checklists and the radio procedures, reminded me of the behind-the-scenes preparation to make a flight happen safely. It was far better organized and professional than I'd ever expected. The rigs: The trucks are outfitted brilliantly. Everything has its place, there's nothing unnecessary or useless, and while we were more than equipped for our four days on the road, there is room to prepare for a much longer trip if you want to. It was truly amazing how much equipment was on board, all of it well thought-out and easy to access. The terrain: The route we took was beautiful Idaho backcountry. Following river valleys, then up into mountains and back down through dense forested land, as steam from hot springs poured from the faces of the rocks, I was amazed at how much the scenery changed as we drove on. We came late in the season, so the terrain in places was alternately snowy, muddy, or wet. This was where I was REALLY glad we'd done the guided tour. At my own experience level, there were several points where I wouldn't have been comfortable continuing on my own, and would have turned back to find an alternate route. But Joe has so much experience out there that he was able to teach us some of the technical driving skills we needed. Not for a moment did it feel like we were beyond the capabilities of our guides and equipment, and I learned the most at precisely the points in the terrain that I would have shied away from if I had been on my own. The camping: This trip was all about being on the move, but you have to sleep at night, right? Again, we were astonished at how efficiently all the equipment was set up. The tent (a pop-up type, set up on the roof of the rig, with a ladder) was cozy, our guides got a big, warm fire going, quickly unfolded a sizable kitchen and made us AMAZING meals. "Camp food" was fun as a kid, but four days of hot dogs and frozen hamburger patties doesn't hold the same charm that it once did. We ate fresh salmon, steak, or chicken, prepared with veggies, and after a long, bumpy day at the wheel, it tasted like the best thing I'd ever eaten. I am so glad that I did my trip with Idaho Overland Adventures. I'm proud to have learned and used some new skills, and gained some real, hands-on overland driving experience. I will absolutely be back next season. Thank you, guys!
