John was great! So funny and personable. Very knowledgeable. Would def recommend this tour!
It was overall a great experience but $70 is very expensive. Olivia the tour guide was super friendly and informative. I loved learning about the history and how the donuts originated. The length of the tour was good.
We enjoyed this tour— it was a good combination between walking and taking breaks for donuts. Olivia was a friendly guide and was happy to give recommendations for Boston. If I had to give one criticism, I would have preferred to see another shop vs. having 3 of the 6 donuts being from one store. But the amount was plenty, we tried some different flavors and styles, and everything was delicious.

Connor was an excellent guide! Funny, informative, just overall really friendly. And the donuts of course were delicious and a great variety. I think the blueberry cake donut was my favorite but they were all really good.
