Daily Dose of Doughnuts - My love for donuts has never felt more validated! The Underground Doughnut Tour was a fun, high-energy experience from start to finish. Jackson kept the group entertained and engaged, making each step of the journey both enjoyable and relevant to everyone. And when it comes to the doughnuts—'delicious' doesn't even begin to describe how amazing they were!

Chicago’s Donut Delights - Jackson gave a great tour. He was very knowledgeable about the architecture around downtown Chicago and was cool to talk to throughout the journey. Must do if you’re in Chicago!

CHICAGO DONUT TOUR - Last month, my kiddo and I were sitting together looking at TripAdvisor on my laptop, trying to find interesting things to do in Chicago. One thing that came up was an “Underground Donut Tour” and she immediately said that’s something that we should do. A *walking* donut tour. In Chicago. In February. So of course I said okay and bought tickets. And then the next day i received a text from “Jenny, your donut tour concierge” and I felt ridiculously fancy about that. We started at a place called “Doughnut Vault” and sampled a couple flavors of donuts, then walked to the next shop and did the same thing. In all we walked 2 miles and visited 4 shops. It was cold. Frigid. Like 10 or 15 degrees or something. Nick the tour guide was loud enough to hear, funny and personable (except for when he was tricking us about something or other). The donuts were delicious. I tried many flavors of donut I never knew existed. He pointed out various architectural points of interest along the way. I mostly was able to pay attention even though I was really cold. All in all it was a delightful tour. The only actual chain was “Stan’s” and the shop itself was very cute.

Great family-friendly tour! - The donuts, the guide (Nick), and the overall tour = awesome! Interactive and fun. 4 stops and plenty of tastings with some Chicago history and foodie trivia to boot. Highly recommend. (Ages 50, 45, 15, and 10)
