Additional Information

Embark with us on an exciting Doughnut journey across the heartland of our nation, Washington DC. We commence our exploration near Lafayette Square, stopping by a popular restaurant frequented by a past President, and then stroll past the iconic White House for an ideal snapshot opportunity. Following a historical deep-dive at Lafayette Square, we’ll proceed further into DC for sampling some legendary local donuts, much loved by local celebs. Afterwards, we’re off to navigate Palmer’s Alley, prized as DC’s most photogenic locale, where we’ll savor donuts of international origins. A brief detour through Chinatown follows, revealing unexpected Civil War-era chronicles, coupled with sampling exceptionally distinctive, hot-off-the-oven, tasty doughnuts. At the end though, is the pièce de résistance of scrumptious donuts to ensure a deserving end to the tour.

Finally, you would have bonded over some wonderful friendships, tasted phenomenal donuts, and witnessed some gripping history. We look forward to your companionship today!

Sam was the best and this tour was fun and delicious! - Sam was SO much fun! The donuts were DELICIOUS (family favorite was Astro's!) and the relaxed walk with I retesting history tidbits from Sam made this whole experience worth every penny! We had two boys, 11 and 13, and the fact that they enjoyed it speaks volumes! 🤣

Fun - Jimmy!! He was fun, knowledgeable, funny… made the whole tour experience what it was. Someone less enthusiastic would have dampened the “chilly day” but he held our interest and seemed to embrace his job as something he truly enjoyed doing not as a “means to an end”. Very fun!!!
