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.
I had such a great experience! Andrew was a brilliant guide—really friendly and full of interesting facts about West London that made the whole thing even more enjoyable, even if the weather was typical London style :) The doughnuts were amazing, loads of variety and honestly hard to pick a favourite…they had some gluten free options as well! I ended up taking some home! 🍩 The tea was spot on too and went perfectly with everything. Definitely recommend if you fancy something a bit different to do in London instead of a normal historical tour —good vibes, great food, and learned a lot along the way. p.s. This experience is better shared with friends!
