After soaking in some history at Lafayette Square, we’ll head deeper into DC to try some local fan favorite donuts from local celebrities.

We had a wonderful time on this tour! We were celebrating the end of a school year with our teenage daughters. Who doesn’t love to celebrate with donuts?! Nick, our tour guide, was amazing. He was so informative and funny! Would definitely recommend and do this again!
