Full description
Our sweet adventure kicks off on South Congress at The Salty Donut, hand-picked for its incredible craft donuts. Take your first delicious bite with the Texas State Capitol in view up the avenue.
Next we stroll up South Congress to Torchy's Tacos, a hometown Austin favorite. Dig into their fantastic churros, then grab your tacos to go for an unforgettable picnic stop just up the avenue.
Then it's photo time at Jo's, home of the famous I love you so much mural. We unwrap those delicious Torchy's tacos right beside it, with the Continental Club and Hotel San Jose close by.
We finish at Gelato Paradiso with creamy, colorful scoops of amazing gelato, a perfectly sweet ending. You'll be in the heart of South Congress to keep exploring the shops, music and murals.

Reviews
The tour was quite long and it was difficult to keep the kids engaged. The donut store was the best stop where we got to choose a donut. At the rest of the stops the food items were pre ordered and we didn’t get a choice which was a bit disappointing. I was also unhappy that the tour ended at a different location to the starting point - we were handed a map and had to find our own way back. Having never been to Cork before, this wasn’t particularly easy and we had to run to catch our train back to Cobh.
It was a pleasant tour our guides new the area very well
Kat was a great guide. The donuts were delicious and she also included a lot of history of Toronto. The walk was an easy pace and gave us time to prepare for the next round. She provided us with other places to taste Toronto food and there was time to grab some of that food too. We loved the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Toronto!
