The landmarks in every guidebook — and the tours that tell you what guidebooks don't.
Boise, the capital of Idaho, has a rich tapestry of history that intertwines Indigenous heritage, the arrival of settlers, and modern urban development. As you explore the hidden gems and historical landmarks within the city, you’ll uncover stories that shaped this vibrant community.
Boise was officially founded in the mid-19th century, with its roots dating back to the arrival of the Oregon Trail in the 1840s. The area was originally inhabited by the Shoshone and Bannock tribes, who thrived on the natural resources of the region. It wasn’t until 1863 that Boise officially became a city, largely due to the Gold Rush and the establishment of Fort Boise as a military outpost to protect settlers.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.
This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
Started this tour with a croissant in one hand and zero expectations. The app just vibes with you, no pressure, just you, your headphones, and some cool stories.
