Highlights
Recently voted one of TripAdvisor's top food tours in the US. Discover the sweet side of the Windy City on the Underground Donut Tour, Chicago’s Delicious Donut Adventure. We’ll kick things off at the legendary Doughnut Vault, tucked beside the historic Merchandise Mart, where you’ll enjoy one of Chicago’s most beloved treats. From there, we’ll stroll across the Chicago River, taking in picture-perfect skyline views before heading to a local artisan donut shop crafting fresh, handmade creations daily. As we wind our way through downtown, we’ll make our way toward Michigan Avenue, home to two iconic stops. First, indulge in a California-style donut shop bursting with flavors and flair, followed by a visit to Do-Rite Donuts, famous for their creative combinations, seasonal specials, and perfectly glazed classics. Equal parts tasty and scenic, this walking tour is the ultimate way to explore Chicago’s flavors, views, and charm. We hope you can join us!

5Wonderful family tour!
Wonderful donut tour, family friendly, informative, we had a great time!
5Fun and Informative!
From the initial introduction Lauren was very friendly and personable! She explained the first stops offerings as we waited for our other group members, and even went back in for more for them. Through out the tour she made sure to talk with all of us and shared all kinds of fun facts about the city.

About Chicago
Chicago is a Great Lakes city on Lake Michigan, famed for skyscraper architecture, deep-dish pizza, blues and jazz and a long lakefront of parks.
Chicago rebuilt itself after the fire of 1871 and became the cradle of the skyscraper. The Chicago River runs through the Loop, where tall towers rise, and boat tours explain the architecture from the water. Millennium Park's mirrored Cloud Gate sculpture, known as the Bean, and the Art Institute of Chicago, with its Impressionist paintings, are close together. Willis Tower has a glass-floored observation deck.
Top-ranked sights in Chicago: Navy Pier, Wrigley Building, The Magnificent Mile.
