Chris was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Philadelphia history and adapted the tour to go see sights we wanted to see along the way. He was also very thorough letting us know about several options for parking in the area near the start of the tour prior to arriving

We recently moved to the area and this tour was just the right mix of exploring our new city, history and delicious treats. Chris was very knowledgeable about Philadelphia’s history yet flexible enough in the information he shared to keep the attention of our tween & teen. We had a lot of fun!

This is the second city I have done the donut tour with Underground Donut. The guide was knowledgeable about Philly and the donuts were amazing. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go on another tour in the next city. I was the only person on the tour and I was surprised the tour was not canceled. Thank you for doing a tour for one. Highly recommended.
So glad you chose to spend your time with us in Philadelphia! We love our repeat offenders, and it means so much that you joined us for another city. Thank you for making us part of your visit to the City of Brotherly Love — even a tour for one deserves the full donut treatment. We hope to host you again in Philly or any of our donut holes around the world!
