My partner and I did the tour yesterday and are still thrilled! It couldn't have been better organized than Jenny, our guide. It was the perfect mix of a city tour, including tips from Jenny, a true New Yorker, and a donut experience. Jenny took so much time for us, was very interested in us, and we felt 100% at ease with her. We wholeheartedly recommend the tour. Best regards, Natalie & Lucas

I took my little sister on the donut tour today, and we had a phenomenal experience! Our tour guide was warm and took the time to answer all of our questions. The locations on the tour were unique—each stop had either a special type of donut or a special story to tell about the donut maker or NY history. And we learned about other historical buildings in the area too—not just the donut shops! Overall, I’d 100% recommend the Underground Donut Tour if you’re looking for a unique experience to see some sites in NYC—and if you have a sweet tooth! 😋
