1 verified traveler reviews for Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Bad History Tour, Horrible Ghost Tour, Stay Away
The entire theme of the tour was that “there are no records of anyone dying here, but weird things may or may not have happened nearby”. For example the room number 316 does not align with the YouTube advertisement stating 167. Also that room in the Owhyee doesn’t exist anymore and there is no record of anyone dying there. Next location, no one dies here, but they did die in two different nearby locations potentially. Next location, someone tried to assassinate someone here, but they didn’t, and they died at home instead. Next location, an old man died of a heart attack Next location, nothing bad actually happened here but they did run out of money during construction. We paid for the EMF readers and carried them. ZERO mention of them, how to read them, exploration. Nothing even fake, fun or gimmicky. We literally paid money to carry the guides stuff for her. Also, you do not go in buildings, you explore nothing, you don’t hunt or find or do anything that interactive. You stand outside a building and look at the architecture or you stand outside of a Dutch Brothers and talk about a different town entirely. This was a mediocre architecture and history tour and an absolute atrocious ghost tour. No ghosts, no hunting, the weirdest thing they talk about is a drink falling over in a theater. Do not do this, save your money. Maybe someone will do a tour years from now about the highway robbery this company committed daily in 2026. That would be a better story.

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Boise.
How much does Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Boise usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Boise is not rushed.
Is Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Boise, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Boise can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Boise and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buried and Blighted in Boise Ghost Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Boise within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Boise?
+
Boise, ID packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Boise by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Boise experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 1/2 Day Whitewater Rafting Trip near Boise, ID, Culinary and Cultural Tour of Boise, A Macabre History of Boise Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Boise?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Boise, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Boise?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
