My dad and I went to Seattle for the first time this month, and this tour was one of the things we were most excited for - it absolutely lived up to the hype! Our guide Amanda was incredibly kind, organized, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, funny, and made sure we all had a great time! She shared some wonderful facts and history about each of the doughnut places, as well as the city of Seattle. She kept a great pace and made sure everyone was having a great time, and that we had plenty of treats to enjoy! You get to take any leftovers home if you like, and there are plenty to take. I loved her picks at each of the spots - the fan favorites and since it was the holidays, we even got a couple of seasonal flavors. The walking portion was manageable for most adults of an average walking speed and fitness level. Leisurely and well paced. There were a couple of hills, but nothing intense. This WAS a rain or shine tour, it being Seattle, so we had a bit of showers and wind, but it was safe for al
This was very cool! I saw it online and thought I better try it out. It's essentially a walking tour of a section of uptown Seattle, but there are also donuts involved, which allows for a unique way of exploring the city. My tour had Holly as our guide and she did a great job! Holly is incredibly knowledgeable about Seattle and it's donut culture. I am going to look at the other cities where they offer donut tours and explore them in the future! It was raining outside during my tour, but that wasn't a problem at all. King County, which includes Seattle, currently requires everyone to wear masks inside restaurants regardless of vaccination status, and they also require proof of vaccine to sit down and eat inside. However, this was not a problem because the tour is outside. Although nobody in my party was affected, they DO accomodate for people with food allergies, just shoot them an email in advance letting them know and they will take care of it for you.
I enjoyed this walking tour with Holly. Initially i was supposed to go on the 9am tour but Holly called the night before to see if I would want to switch since I’d be the only one. I appreciated the call before hand and that they wanted to make sure i had others with me. Our group was fun and made the tour that much more enjoyable. The donuts were great. The scenery was amazing. Holly was great as well.
Meh…this sounded like a really fun idea when we booked it. But there were several things that made this not worth the price value or time hours we spent. Not sure how the name “Underground Doughnut tour” developed. Nothing hidden or special about the 3 places we walked by or stood outside of-none of which we visited or learned much about aside from the starting location. We began at one location and visited 2 others. At the second stop our group waited outside for almost 20 minute on our guide who had to stand in line to get donuts for us—we could have done that. There was no 3rd stop—instead she carried an additional box of donuts from the second stop and walked us to Pike Place for a brief history of the market. The 3rd stop was equally uneventful with a brief wait on her again to get bagged donuts. Looking at Yelp and other sites we didn’t even go to a couple of the most famous Seattle shops. The tour was essentially an hour and a half of walking, the guide not being aware that she
Great walking tour... Donuts were all eaten outside. I would have liked to be able to get a tour inside of a donut shop. Also, two donuts were from 1 location with a shared kitchen. I would have liked to see an additional bakery.
