Highly recommend this tour - Very well organized. We enjoy the stories about the history of Victoria. We also tried lots of different donuts and learned lots about the companies. The two lovely ladies were fantastic! They were well prepared for everyone's needs, extra water for those hot days, wet wipes for sticker fingers. We would highly recommend this tour

excellent! - amazing tour with great history and great food. Wonderful! Bring a little bag with her to take extra pieces of donuts! The walking is a very easy pace. Be sure to let them know if you have dietary restrictions as they’re incredibly accommodating.

Donuts don’t tell what I did! - We met at the designated start point. When all were present, we were served 1/4 of each two type of donuts. Some had coffee or water. The other part of our tour was a large extended family of 6 adults and 5 younger children. From there we walked and talked about the city and the businesses represented there. The history of the city was interesting. Each of five businesses greeted us cordially if not with great enthusiasm. We mingled with different people at each break. The tour guide offered to take our photos in front of the Olympic torches. That was fun. At the end, I was the only one who wanted to take some donuts away. I enjoyed the tour.

Delightful Morning - My family of four recently went on a Donut Tour with Cait and had such a delightful morning. We overindulged in the most delicious variety of donuts and learned so much about the beautiful city of Victoria. It was a sensory delight as we ate, walked and talked. We learned about the history of the city at large, as well as the history of the independent donut businesses we visited. It was so fun to learn about all the love and persistence that went into bringing the treats we were sampling to life. Cait clearly loves her city. Her enthusiasm is contagious. I would highly recommend this outing.

The Underground Donut Tour was a hit! - Cait was an excellent guide and shared with us her love of the City of Victoria with its rich history as we traversed the downtown area. We loved finding that others appreciate donuts to the same level that we do. The donut shops were all unique and delicious. This was our first donut tour, but won’t be our last. It’s a great way to tour!!

American Dough-Boys - The food was so delicious and the variety was amazing. I was glad to walk off the donut between each donut shop. Learning the history of the donuts and why American shoulders are called dough-boys. Loved the history of the Indigenous people, and the melting pot of settlers. Great Tour!

I Donut know where to begin... - Cait was wonderful. She was getting over a cold but showed up anyway and took extra precautions to shield us from anything...a nice touch. She was informative about donuts and Victoria. Cait answered questions, took pictures, and provided a great experience. The donuts were delicious!
