Outstanding (and Yummy!) Walking Tour for Families! - This walking tour has earned its #1 TA rating. We took a family of 4 on the tour (my kids are 13 and 10), and we loved every minute of it. You get decent-sized samples of a wide variety of donuts at each stop (4 stops in total), you get a bit of Chicago history while walking, the tour guide was super-nice and helpful, and we ended with the best old fashioned buttermilk that I’ve ever had at Do-Rite. Highly recommended!
