5.00Amazing new tour! We had the best time walking around Austin sampling some incredible treats. The lineup was spot on—I’m still thinking about the donuts at The Salty and the pistachio gelato at Gelato Paradiso The pace was perfect, and it was so nice to get to know the other people on the tour. A huge shout-out to our guide, Jimmy—he made everyone feel welcome immediately and was full of great local info. He really made the experience special.

5.00I recently joined the Underground Donut Tour in my own city, and it was such a fun and memorable experience! It truly made me feel like a tourist in my hometown. Exploring South Congress through a new lens while sampling sweet treats was the perfect way to spend the morning. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared interesting facts about the area that I never knew, despite living here. Each stop offered something unique, and it was great to discover local favorites I might not have tried otherwise. Whether you’re visiting Austin for the first time or have lived here for years, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a fantastic combination of food, local history, and sightseeing, and you’ll leave with a happy stomach and a new appreciation for the city. Five stars!

5.00I had an amazing time on this donut tour! The donuts were fantastic, but what really made the experience stand out was our tour guide. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging from start to finish. Not only did they share interesting facts about the local area and each stop, but they also kept the group entertained and made everyone feel welcome. The tour was well organized, moved at a perfect pace, and felt like much more than just a food tour. You could tell our guide genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re thinking about taking this tour, I highly recommend it.
