5.00This was such a fun experience, and we absolutely loved our tour guide, Stephanie. Each of the donuts was delicious, and Stephanie did such a good job of talking about the history of Boston and the doughnuts in a way that was interesting and engaging. Even though the weather wasn't great, Stephanie made sure we stayed warm by finding warm places for us to chat and enjoy our donuts. I would absolutely do this again and recommend it to anyone who is considering it.
