Full description

Our tour begins near the Borough Tube station at St. John Bakery, where we’ll try their delicious doughnuts to get the tour started off right. From there, we’ll walk up Borough High Street stopping along the way to talk a bit about history, restaurants, pubs, and anything else we feel like chatting about. Our second stop is right near Borough Market, one of the oldest public markets in London, where we’ll sample some more amazing donuts (shown above). Make sure you pace yourself - it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Our third stop is actually in Borough Market itself where you’ll sample some absolutely stunning doughnuts that are made fresh every single day in their pastry school, which is attached. And our last and final stop at Crosstown Doughnuts will give you a jaw dropping view of Tower Bridge that you have to see to believe. We’re so excited to get this tour started and we hope you can join us! We also offer much more information about the route, the city, the stops and more on our website: www.donuttour.com.

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!

Our guide was passionate about Cork and an enthusiastic storyteller. The pace was just right-plenty of opportunity to learn about the city and rest consuming fabulous sweet treats. Highly recommend!
