5.00This was an excellent small group tour! We learned about the history and architecture in Philly along with eating some delicious donuts! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all of our follow-up questions. You can tell he really has a passion for sharing his knowledge of all things Philly as he takes you around Center City.
A great & tasty tour.

5.00I have lived in Philadelphia for over 50 years. I didn’t know anything like the Donut Tour existed. I got it as a gift for my birthday and I found it to be a unique and wonderful experience. Our guide, Jason was terrific and made it to all the better.
