We had a fun, tasty and informative tour with Eric. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The donuts were all very good and our favorites were the Lavendar donut at Cocos and the maple bacon bar at Voodoo. We were able to see PSU, the Portland Theatre with famous sign, Pioneer Courthouse Square, food truck spots, Portlandia and the The Pine St market. If you love donuts and want some good tips and history about the city, this is a great choice.

I bought this for us to do on my husband’s birthday. He is a connoisseur of donuts so what could be more fun! The donuts were meh (except those beignets at Java Man) , but the tour was super fun. Eric was most knowledgeable about Portland and shared many factoids about the city. We were even blessed by the sighting of a man that was very much missing the opportunity to enjoy some oysters on my husband’s birthday. 😂. Only in Portland, but we gotta keep it weird.

This tour was a highlight on my recent trip to Chicago! Jackson, the tour guide, had all the fun energy and was very knowledgeable about the city. Of course, there were also some tall tales which added to the entertainment. The donut part of the tour was great too - we visited four unique donut shops and tasted several delicious varieties! I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in town and have the time.

Such a fun downtown Chicago food tour! We had some extra time before leaving Chicago and decided to do this on the morning of our leaving. It was so much fun, not too long, & such a great way to do one last thing before going home. We really enjoyed Jeff, the Owner/Guide, and could not recommend it anymore wholeheartedly! Jeff also went out of his way to be sure that we had gluten-free options which was a nice surprise! We really enjoyed the tour, the people group and THE DONUTS!!!!
