Great Doughnut Tour

Great tour. Jenny was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the neighborhoods we walked through. We made four doughnut stops. Great variety because we could pick what we wanted. The selection was great and the doughnuts were so good. Hot drinks were also offered at the Donut Pub. Nice walking pace with places to sit and enjoy the doughnuts. These tours are available in other cities in the U.S. and UK. I’m going to check those out as well.

Operator response

Oh go on! We are blushing! Thank you so much for rolling with us in NYC! Jenny says 👋! We can't wait to host you again, on your next theatre trip to NYC!! Bring more friends!

Highly recommended

Fabulous. A great guide who went out of her way to make this experience interesting and enjoyable just remember - the cost of doughnuts isn't included and theyre expensive ! I paid USD $40 for 2 in only one shop

Operator response

Thanks for rolling with us in Union Square! 🍩 We’re glazed you enjoyed the guide and the experience. You’re right—on this Buy Your Own Donuts tour, treats aren’t included, and NYC donuts can be a splurge. We appreciate you calling it out and hope to host you again in NYC or one of our donut holes around the world!

Delicious doughnuts and tour.

There were three of us and David, so basically a private tour: great! David is a fine person, full of interesting stories and the right dose of humour and people knowledge. And the doughnuts were delicious! Highly recommended.

NYC history with donuts

I am a long term nyc resident and joined the tour with two of my grandchildren who are visiting from Colorado. Dave met us at the 1st stop where we selected delicious donuts. We started walking around the east village, Chelsea, west village and Dave pointed out a lot of historically important and just interesting facts about New York, and important architectural features. He had a lot of information to share and I learned a lot. Halfway through we selected more donuts and then continued the walk until the final stop with even more donuts!!! I recommend this tour for New Yorkers as well as visitors.

Operator response

We love hosting locals! Thank you for allowing us to reintroduce you to your hometown! We are so glad you shared your time with your grandchildren! Dave says 👋
