Wonderful Way to Experience the City

We do a donut tour in every city we can and this did not disappoint. Loved seeing the different Brooklyn neighborhoods and learning the history. What better way to learn history than with a donut. Our tour guide Steve was entertaining and informative.

Local Guide, great donuts and lots of fun!

I've been on a lot of food tours in the US and Europe. This was by far one of the best. I was shocked that we got coffee and whole donuts. Most tours give you a taste but not a whole donut. I have 4 donuts altogether! And, they were all delicious. The guide, Trevor, was kind, helpful, informative, and local, which helped with suggestions of things to do. I highly recommend this tour.
