Additional Information
Introducing our first venture into the sunny golden state of Southern California - the Santa Monica donut tour, an homage to confectionery, seaside enjoyment, and radiant sun. We initiate this expedition at Randy’s Donuts, a renowned Californian establishment known for its ubiquitous presence in TV shows, films, and music videos, particularly its gargantuan and emblematic donut. After sampling some of their exemplary originals, we proceed to Sidecar Doughnuts, the epitome of impressive, craft donuts. Next on our itinerary is a slightly offbeat yet distinctively Californian spot for churros. The final destination may vary depending on the group’s preference or weather conditions, and to keep an element of suspense, we won’t disclose it ahead of time, though rest assured that whatever we select will be fantastic.

Fun With Libby Our Tour Guide - Libby was our tour guide and she was great. She was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and a delight. This was the second time we have done an underground donut tour (1st was in Nashville). It is truly a unique and fun experience. Thank you Libby for such a fun day.

Delightful doughnut tour - Nick became one of the family and took us on a doughnut adventure. To say we had fun and we’re filled with sugar is an understatement. We also had coffee and a lot of laughs! I am going to have to try all of the doughnut adventures across the United States especially if they’re led by people like Nick.

Unique walking tour with a great guide! - I booked this for my daughter since she loves donuts and considers herself a connoisseur. This tour worked out great as something easy to do after we got in to town earlier in the day. Figured a walking tour would help us adjust to the time change. We found a public parking garage down Wilshire towards 3rd. Easy walk to meet Chad at the first donut stop. Great tour guide! Lots of history and facts about donuts, the area, and local things. Had an enjoyable time trying out the different donuts and local sweets as well as conversation. There were four stops on our tour - with just the two of us, there was left over sweets for later that day and the next day! Truly a unique experience and highly recommend!
