Boston is famous for its donuts and has numerous artisanal donut stores, some hidden away from its tourist areas. Instead of hunting them down independently, let a guide lead you there and introduce you to some top donut varieties, enabling you to try flavors and gain insight into the local donut scene you might otherwise miss. Between tastings, browse a market, eat a delicious bakery treat and explore historical neighborhoods such as North End before one final, scrumptious donut sampling.
  • Discover and dig into Boston’s artisanal donuts on a walking tour
  • Check out donut shops and sample flavors you might easily miss by yourself
  • Visit the Public Market, try donuts with apple cider and see historical sites
  • Donut tastings included, plus choice of start times for your convenience

    This experience was not worth it at all. This was incredibly overpriced considering we didn’t get any full sized donuts. It didn’t feel like a donut tour considering the first four donuts all came from the same place and we walked out in the rain and stopped at random places to try them. I was not a fan of our tour guide. It was raining (and I understand that was not his fault) but he told us he would keep us out of the rain as much as possible but it felt exactly the opposite. We spent a lot of time standing out in the rain getting history lessons. At one point he dragged us out into the rain just to make some distasteful joke. At the end it felt like he was awkwardly begging us for tips. The donut tour in Nashville was WAY better than this one.
    Fun in Boston
    Albert_L, Apr 2024
    We had great time. Jack the guide was very entertaining and a good story teller. Donuts were delicious. We would definitely recommend.
    Must do great for all ages
    Cynthia_Z, Apr 2024
    Thank you Alex and Jackie for an awesome and delicious morning! Everyone in our group, including locals in their 20s to out of towners in their 80s, had a blast! Learned so much about Boston while enjoying just the right amount of donut deliciousness!! Kane’s Honey Glazed for the win!!!
    Good tour, worth the...
    Didem_T, Mar 2024
    Good tour, worth the cost. John was a great guide. Donuts were good, but enjoyed walking around and hearing interesting local facts and tips on the neighborhoods more than the goodies!
    Deliciously delightful!
    Mandy_S, Mar 2024
    My husband loves donuts, and I’m normally how a huge fan, but this tour is surely one you want to indulge in! We sampled several delicious treats and the narrator/guide was charming and very entertaining! Our first trip to Boston was sweeter by attending this tour. Thank you for the opportunity.
    Doing donuts in Boston

    OK, besides Nikki, who does not like donuts? Our guide Jackie took us on an adventurous trip in the financial district finishing up in the North End. Four different donut shops with 7 different donuts. Differences all around. Jackie gave us insight to the vendors and their local fare. Many choices along the way. Great conversation about the donuts and great information about the history of Boston and landmarks. Check it out.
    Highly recommend

    It was our first time working through Viator and with Underground Donut Tour and I have nothing but good things to say. Transactions and communications were a breeze and the tour itself was so much more than we were anticipating. Alton is knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. We had an amazing experience Highly recommend
    Delicious and funny
    Harrison_S, Feb 2024
    Tour was very informative with a good tasting of local Boston donuts and apple cider. Our guide, Jack, was very accommodating and pleasantly conversational throughout, even though it was cold and windy out. He was mindful enough to guide us through wind blocked areas to escape the frigid winds. It was a great tour, filled with delicious donuts, and laughter thanks to our guide.

    Jack was amazing and made it so much more than a donut tour! He gave great history facts. Highly recommend:)
    Fun tour
    Georgianna_S, Dec 2023
    The doughnuts were delicious. Jack, our tour guide was very good. We learned a lot about the history of Boston. It was a fun way to tour the city.
    Amazing Tour!

    Allison and donuts for the win
    Chris_B, Dec 2023
    We had a blast! Allison was a great tour guide who has a great personality and provided interesting history about the city. All of the donuts were tasty and we appreciated the tour of the north end.
    Highly Recommend!

    So, little to no communication before the tour, our guide was 5 minutes late but we quickly forgave her when she showed up with a box of donuts. She was fun and seemed knowledgeable able the city, history, and donuts. She gave us valiste suggestions and offered to help us lift our strollers when we were going upstairs. She was patient with our girls (11 month twins) when they got fussy. She was kind enough to rank us back to the meeting spot (our car) so we didn’t have to wander the city aimlessly. The donuts were delicious! We are donut PEOPLE so we are pretty picky when it comes to uniqueness, texture, and taste. All of these were good picks! At the end of our tour we were asked what everyone’s favorite donut was and out of the small group we had there was 3 different answers, they were all just delicious. We have gone on one other donut tour and it didn’t hold a candle to this one! I would definitely recommend the Boston Underground Donut Tour to anyone visiting the area!
    My third experience

    Sam in Boston was awesome. Very informative. The places we went to were not major chains of donut. That’s always refreshing.
    The tour was delicious...

    The tour was delicious and such a fun way to experience Boston! Gabby was a great tour guild and even gave us her personal umbrella when it started to rain.
    Engaging, Historical, Delicious
    Matteson_R, Oct 2023
    Alton was our guide and let me just say he was nothing short of fantastic! The tour was fun and engaging, Alton was very knowledgeable, and there was a good bit of history on the tour as well. One thing to keep in mind is that the donuts are cut up so the group shares donuts. This is no problem because there are a lot of donuts to try and you can also stop back by and purchase your favorites (we did). We got so caught up in talking to Alton at the end I didn’t ask for his Venmo information for a tip! If there is a way for me to get that info let me know!
    Yummy Fun!
    Matt_L, Oct 2023
    Great time! And, delicious donuts. Our favorites were the honey glazed and blueberry from Kanes. But the best part of the tour were our guides, Allison and Elton. So much fun!

    Lydia_H, Sep 2023
    Our tour guide Alton was probably one of the best tour guides I’ve hade. It was a 10 out if 10!!!!!!
    Yummy time
    Sherry_M, Sep 2023
    Gabby, our tour guide was excellent. We had one of our party that needed extra time in walking and she did not rush the tour. She was very personal and provided us with lots of history and fun facts. Plus the donuts were phenomenal. Even though it rained, great tour!!
    Great tour
    Rachel_S, Sep 2023
    Really fun way to explore Boston and learn some of the history of the city. All the donuts were delicious. Our tour guides, Jackie and Jack, were phenomenal. Would definitely recommend the tour.
