Great DC history and donuts! - I didn't know what exactly to expect from the tour, but it turned out to be the perfect mix of DC history and delicious donuts. The company communicated well ahead of the tour date, and on the day of the tour our guide Sam (who was amazing) reached out to let me know her location as it was approaching the start time, making it easy to find her in Western Market. It was Just my family on the tour, so we had the benefit of that, but I believe it would have been just as great with a mixed group. I've lived and worked in the area for close to 15 years, and even I learned some great things about DC history and architecture. Plus, the donuts were great!! It was just enough walking to feel like it was cool to eat that many sweets, and the portions kept it from being a sugar overdose. It was the perfect activity to do with my husband, older sister and teen nieces who were visiting from out of town. Definitely recommend!
