Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We did the downtown tour with Jackson and Addison. They were professional, fun, and informative. We had a group of adults and kids (ages 10-13) and everyone loved it! We're even talking doing the Wicker Park tour. I highly recommend this fun and delicious experience!

This tour is so fun and different from any other! Our guide, Max, was fantastic- he was able to project his voice over the Chicago traffic so we could always hear him, and he added some humor to his talks as well. We tried 8 different donuts on the tour, and had 4 stops. Even just eating 1/4 of each donut I was full the rest of the day - these were some substantial donuts! He always offered more, you will not leave this tour hungry.

Had an incredible time, learnt a lot of local history, and had some remarkable donuts! Our tour guide, Oscar, really knew his stuff, did a great job of keeping the group together through the super busy market and was a friendly and charming as you could ever hope for. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

Dublin Donut tour
This guided tour started at St Stephens Green (Rolling Donut shop/ South King’s Street). We were welcomed by Erin, our guide. Immediately we were offered a donut of choice and a hot/cold drink.
The guide explained various facts about the surrounding area, whilst taking about quirky history and characters. We moved on towards Dame Street, which a cafe stop in Sweet Churros (including a sit down/toilet break). After a guided walk through Temple Bar, we crossed the river to O’Connell Street. Here we visited the 3rd stop, The Hot Donut. The final stop on the tour was on Westmorland Street, where we had our 4th donut in The Off Beat Donut.
This was a fun, informal tour around Dublin. The Guide didn’t take themselves too seriously mixing historical, pop culture and foodie facts. Overall it’s an enjoyable and quirky way to see Dublin.

We have now done two underground donut tours and we can’t wait for our third! This tour is a great way to explore a city, meet new people, and try delicious donuts. We just did a Seattle tour and we were so impressed! Our tour guide Holly made the tour for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly!

It was just us 5 on the tour Easter Sunday morning, so it was basically a private tour! We met Ian and Judd at our first location at Sesame Donuts and headed off from there. We appreciated the back story behind each donut shop that we visited-it gave the donuts that much more flavour to them all!
All along the way, Ian gave us a ton of food recommendations to along with some Portland/Stumptown history. We got lucky with the weather that morning it didn’t really start raining till near the end of the tour. Regardless, of the 3 stops, we were either inside or under a covered patio-Voodoo was the only one where we were exposed to the elements.
At the end of the day, it was a neat way to see the city. and our guides were super personable.
Full disclosure though, arrive with an empty stomach as the donuts were super filling even though it wasn’t whole donuts served-didn’t need to be. I think some water along the way would have helped to chase down all the sugar though.

Theo and Shezlana led a wonderful tour. "Not the lemon, Ralph!" was my favorite donut from Breka Donuts in Vancouver, BC Canada. The walking tour of the city was excellent, chatting along the way about the interesting history. Venturing into the more domicile part of the city to see a shipping magnate's home was a refreshing break from the "high-rise" city-scape. Donuts R-US could be the new name given the variety, tasty delightfulness, and presentation of each donut shop. Do not eat before this tour! WOW!

Went on the Nashville tour. It was a bit cold but the donuts made it all worth it. Jason was a great guide who had a good connection with some of the shop owners and I felt like we got a good insider look at times. We shared donuts to maximize tasting but you will absolutely be stuffed by the end! Amazing spots and a fun experience!

My husband and I went in the Donut Tour with Jay as our guide. Who knew there was such a variety of donuts from almost like candy to savory?!?! It was well worth the time we spent to hear about the parts of town we walked through as well as tasting those delectable bites. We even had donuts to take back to our hotel room and snack on later in the day. We highly recommend The Donut Tour!

My husband and I did the underground donut tour in Nashville and it was so fun! Jason was so knowledgeable about not only the donuts but also the history of Nashville. The donuts were all so different and it was so fun trying them. Jason was so considerate to try and keep the group in the shade as much as possible due to the heat. I can see why this tour has so many rave reviews it was really fun!

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Written 7 February 2020
It is, but there is a decent amount of walking involved on this tour. I think we walked over a mile atleast.

What are the Days? What are the hours? Where does it start and where does it end?
How much does it cost. I live in the Gold Coast, downtown Chicago. Are there any in that location?
