Washington DC's Best Donuts, Sweet Treats & Walking History Tour
Overview
Recently voted one of Cool DC's top Food Experiences in the US.
Join us for a historic Donut adventure through our nation’s capital, Washington DC. Our tour begins in Western Market, which has a legacy dating back to 1802! There we will sample donuts made from a business that’s been in the same family for five generations. From there we’ll head downtown, where we’ll see a restaurant favored by a former President before passing by the White House itself for a perfect photo op. After soaking in some history at Lafayette Square, we’ll head deeper into DC to try some local fan favorite donuts from local celebrities. From there, we’ll head down Palmers Alley, the most instagrammable spot in DC, where we’ll end our adventure with delectable donuts with an international flavor.
By the end, you’ll have made some great friends and enjoyed some incredible donuts and history. We hope you can join us today!
