Jackson Is A Great Guide for a Great Tour - Jackson was a fantastic guide and kept things entertaining. The donuts were delicious and Jackson added just enough history about Chicago so it just wasn’t about eating donuts.

Fun Chicago donut history and tasting - If you like donuts this is for you! Nick our guide was fun and informative. Learn a little history of the donut shops in Chicago . It is a walking tour about 2 miles . You basically end up near the Magnificent Mile/Navy Pier. So you can just wander to your hearts delight after the tour. Last about 1.5 - 2 hours. Again if you like donuts it’s give this tour a try

Highly Recommended Tour for all ages - Our tour guide Jackson was a hoot right from the start! Extremely knowledgeable of the city’s history, architecture & some good tall tale stories. Kept the whole group entertained. The doughnuts were delicious as was our coffee. Highly recommend I took my daughter as a surprise 21st birthday and she enjoyed just as much as me!

Super fun way to spend a couple of hours in Chicago doing something a bit unique! - We had a little bit of extra time before leaving Chicago in the afternoon and decided to do this early that day. It was a short approximately two hour tour, which was perfect. And we were in a group with some teenagers from Texas which made it a lot of fun actually! We enjoyed Jeff, the owner & our guide. The donuts were fabulous, and the coffee wasn’t bad either! We were offered gluten-free options for someone in our party who could not eat gluten. And really thought it was a perfect way to end our trip to Chicago. Thank you so much for taking us around!

Super Fun Downtown Food Tour 🍩☕️💕 - We had some time before leaving Chicago and decided to add this tour on the morning that we left. It was super easy to schedule, and super easy walk. It was a lot of fun to try the different donuts and to hear the history of donuts in Chicago. We got paired with a group of teenagers, which made it all the more fun. We also really enjoyed the God/Owner. He went out of his way to ensure that a gluten-free option was available at each spot. 💗 I would definitely give this a try!

Top notch tour! - This is our favorite thing to do in any city where an underground donut tour is offered. We have now done them in multiple cities and they’ve been a great experience every time. A fun way to see a town and delicious eats along the way. Nick was our guide on this adventure and he was so much fun!

What a blast!! All... - What a blast!! All smiles and laughs on the donut tour, thanks to Nick, our guide and the fun group of people in our group! It’s the perfect way to take in the city, learn some fun Chicago facts and eat delicious donuts along the way. We’re currently ranking the donuts as we speak :) We can’t wait to make the donut tour a new tradition when we travel.
