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!

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.

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!
