We had so much fun on the underground donut tour! Our guide, Lauren, was so engaging and just wonderful with our two kids ages 5 and 7. We learned a little about Chicago architecture and enjoyed delicious donuts. A huge hit with our kids especially, would definitely recommend!.

The tour was excellent with very tasty sweet treats and excellent tour guides. The scenery was great and we were taken into a slice of Milwaukee’s history. There were other types of treats besides just donuts. We had the option to buy coffee, but the coffee was not included. I just wanted this to be transparent so no one was mislead by the title. I would recommend this tour and I would take it again!
