Underground Donut Tour - by Management



Description
The Underground Donut Tour is run in several cities in the USA and abroad. The one in Chicago is "the one that started it all' and takes customers (max 20) to four of the best donut shops in Downtown Chicago. Tours last 2h and start at either 09h00, 10h00 or 12h00. Donuts are included in the cost of the tour.
Access & Transport
The tour starts at Doughnut Vault (401 N Franklin St) which is next to Merchandise Mart subway station (Brown and Purple lines) near the north bank of the Chicago River. It ends at Do-Rite Donuts (233 E Erie St), just east of N Michigan Ave / Magnificent Mile.
Instructions & Recommendations
Expect to walk about 3km over 2 hours. Many locations offer gluten or nut free options, however, please let the operator know ahead of the tour so it can make sure to highlight those specifically for you. No refunds for cancellation made less than 24h before the scheduled start.
Environmental & Social
Environmentally neutral. Socially positive as it helps promote small independent operators with a strong connection to their neighbourhood and city BUT we wish the focus was a little healthier
Conclusion
The tour looks original, but we would only recommend to those with a really sweet tooth and a flexible budget. It is indeed way overpriced, surfing on its certainly deserved popularity - but how many donuts can/should you eat and still enjoy it?
Key positive
Fun, original and tasty
Family friendly
Key negative
Egregious pricing considering the length and content of the tour
Not very healthy
Suitability
Not for people with diabetes. Those with food allergies should inform the operator beforehand.
