Overview

Recently voted one of Top10Adventures® '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!
