Donuts, Donut shop history
Sample Chicago's best donuts and explore downtown on a guided 2-hour stroll. Make four sweet stops and hear the stories behind each shop in Spanish or English.
All tours begin at Doughnut Vault and end at Do-Rite Donuts; the tour does not return to the starting point. Expect a 1.5–2 mile outdoor walk; dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Please let the team know of any food allergies in advance.
Full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before your tour. Within 24 hours, refunds are not available, but we can rebook you for a future date or a different city. If you booked through a third party, contact them for refunds; approvals will be honored and refunds are issued by that provider.

The guides really make this experience special. Reviewers consistently praise their tour leaders by name—Wade, Beau, Eric, Jackson, Nick, Michael, Emily, and others—describing them as knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely engaging. What stands out is how these guides weave local history and city stories into the walking tour, making it much more than just a food crawl. Multiple guests mention learning fascinating historical facts about their city while sampling donuts, and several reviewers who've taken tours in different cities (Chicago, Portland, DC, Boston, NYC) report consistently excellent experiences across locations. The donut quality gets thumbs up, with most stops offering delicious variety in styles and flavors. Expect comfortable seating at each location, which people appreciate. Tours typically run about two hours and cover a good walking distance, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Several locals have used these tours to entertain out-of-town visitors with great success, and at least one repeat customer has done six tours and counting. It's clearly a hit for dates, birthdays, and family outings alike.
My husband and I had a great time doing a tour with Beau! He was knowledgeable, outgoing, and easy to talk to. What a fun date!
