A Sweet Boston Experience with an Outstanding Guide

5.00We had an amazing time on the Underground Donut Tour in Boston, and a huge part of that was our incredible guide, Bob. From the moment we met him, he made us feel like we were out with an old friend rather than on a tour. On a very cold, snowy Boston day, he was especially thoughtful about everyone’s comfort, which really stood out. Even as native Bostonians, Bob managed to teach us something new about our own city, and we learned so much about the different donuts along the way. The variety of donuts paired with an engaging walk through Boston made for a fun, delicious, and surprisingly educational experience. This tour was the perfect mix of history, humor, and amazing donuts. I very much look forward to another outing with Bob in the future and would highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike.
