Washington DC's Best Donuts, Sweet Treats & Walking History Tour
Description
Recently voted one of TripAdvisor's top Food Experiences in the US. Join us for a historic Donut adventure through our nation’s capital, Washington DC. Our tour begins in Western Market, which has a legacy dating back to 1802! There we will sample donuts made from a business that’s been in the same family for five generations. From there we’ll head downtown, where we’ll see a restaurant favored by a former President before passing by the White House itself for a perfect photo op. After soaking in some history at Lafayette Square, we’ll head deeper into DC to try some local fan favorite donuts from local celebrities. From there, we’ll head down Palmers Alley, the most instagrammable spot in DC, where we’ll end our adventure with delectable donuts with an international flavor. By the end, you’ll have made some great friends and enjoyed some incredible donuts and history. We hope you can join us today!

Itinerary
We'll begin our donut adventure here, at maman french bakery inside the Western Market. This is also very close to the White House, which we'll stop by on our route.
We'll walk by the White House and provide a brief history of it and our nation's history, along with some fun donut history to go with it.
Palmer Alley is a cute site off the beaten path. We think you'll love it.
We'll walk near and around the Chinatown neighborhood.
We'll end the tour at CityCenterDC. This is a very new complex in DC and we have a great surprise at the end of the tour here.
