Great, so fun! - This was such a fun tour. We are local and still learned a lot of cool facts! Sam, our tour guide was amazing! The weather was awful (rain, sleet, snow) and her story telling distracted us from the grossness!! I would 10/10 recommend this tour. Go on an empty stomach!

Lil bit of history, whole lotta donut! - Great, fun tour with a bit of history and a whole lotta donuts! Jimmy was informative and has a nice clear loud voice, so no troubles hearing. Lots of different tastes from 3 different shops, ending with a good hot black sesame drink to warm us back up from near freezing temps (but still, beautiful day!)

If you like donuts this one’s for you - Small walking tour while sampling donuts. You visit 4 stops . Guide was very friendly and answered any questions you had. Be prepared to be stuffed by the end.

four stops, tons of donuts!!! - There are *plenty* of donuts on this tour, plus lots of fun history and random trivia. Jimmy was such a friendly, upbeat guide. Four stops might not sound like much, but you get multiple pieces at each one — so definitely pace yourself!

Delicious tour! - This was a very fun and delicious tour! Our tour guide was really nice & knowledgeable about the city. We tried all different kinds of donuts, like beignets, traditional donuts, interesting flavors, and these little things that were sort of like eclairs or cream puffs.

Fun, delicious and educational! - Jimmy was a fantastic tour guide! We had the most delicious donuts but also learned a lot about the city, and that’s coming from a local.

Delicious AND informative - WOW! This tour blew me away! As a local I had no idea how many great donuts were in DC. Sam made this tour so fun for both locals and visitors, and there was a surprising amount of history as well!

What beats donuts? - Best tour in DC! The history that you get isn't the stuff that you already learned in school. Sam and Jimmy were wonderful tour guides. The tour wasn't too big and felt intimate.
