Donut tour must try! - We had a blast with Lauren on the donut tour! She was a perfect blend of humor and facts and had a great personality to travel the streets with. We had a great time exploring and tasting all the donuts at all the stops and was so thankful for the warm beverage to warm our hands up! Would definitely recommend! :)

Great tour every time - This is my favorite tour! I’ve booked it 3 times in the past year and brought new people. It’s always a hit and everyone’s favorite. Aside from the amazing Chicago doughnuts, you get a history of the shops and some of the local building’s you pass on the way. I particularly like that history is more personal and includes nuanced stories that you don’t hear on other tours. I’ve had the same guide all 3 times, Nick, and he is GREAT. He’s funny, personable and makes a point to talk with everyone in the group as we walk around. I highly recommend this tour.

A must do in the city! - So much fun and a great way to sample so many different donuts. Jackson, our guide, was a riot and made it a fun way to see the city and eat some donuts. We had such a good time that we are planning on doing the Vegas underground tour while there!

1/4 Donuts - Please note, each donut is cut into 1/4 and you have maybe 2 bites of 2 different donuts at each of the 4 locations. We have done these tours in other cities and you get a full donut at each location and options to try or sample another. The donuts were good but for the price you can certainly hit all 4 Stan’s, Firecakes, Donut Vault and Do Rites and enjoy more with maybe different flavors. Nothing personally against the tour just think at a price of nearly $70 a person providing a full donut and maybe a half of a different would make this tour more reasonable. Decent history given about the donuts and the shops. Thanks.
