Full description

The Santa Monica Donut Tour is your first sweet adventure into sunny Southern California, and the holidays are the perfect time to visit. As palm trees glow with lights and festive decorations fill the 3rd Street Promenade, this tour blends seasonal cheer with coastal charm.

 We begin at a California icon, Randy’s Donuts. You may know their famous giant donut from movies and music videos. While the donuts here are smaller, the bold flavors and classic recipes are just as unforgettable.

 Next is Sidecar Doughnuts, known for handcrafted creations that feel like gifts with every bite. These gourmet donuts are sure to impress.

 Your third stop features another California favorite: churros. Warm, crispy, and coated in sugar, they’re the perfect holiday street snack.

 We finish with a surprise stop that may change based on the group and weather, but always ends the tour on a high note. Book now and taste the season in Santa Monica!

Fantastic! Loved our guide Athina. She had the coolest facts about the market and city. So many things we didn’t know. The four donut stops were very unique. We enjoyed trying places we never would have thought of, and found two favorites that we will return to. My only criticism is not being allowed to get drinks after the first stop. Donuts and some kind of drink.. milk, coffee, tea, etc belong together. We found ourselves thirsty at each spot.
