About this experience partner:

Chicago is home to some of the best artists in the world. But it’s not all just Picasso and Calder. There are many artists that create art right before your eyes, but you may never notice it. That’s where the Offbeat Street Art Tour comes in. We celebrate the art that sits right under your nose, behind a building or just around the corner and educates you about the people behind the art and their influences. We turn the city into a living gallery.

Additional information:

Comfortable walking shoes are a must.

The tour is outside, so please dress according to the weather.

You’ll probably want a good camera to take pictures of or with the artwork.

You may also want to bring some water or coffee to stay hydrated. Alcohol, smoking, vaping, or other products that detract from other patrons' enjoyment are not allowed.

One of many great Chicago tours available that doesn’t take up an entire day. This one is short and SWEET! Our guide Jackson was great - knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and the best backwards walker I’ve ever met! Highly recommend this tour! Only way to go to four donut spots in one day and not feel terrible about it is to do the tour that walks you 2 miles! We even doubled the exercise by parking near the end of the tour and walking to the start! (They say a moment on the lips can be a lifetime in the hips, so we then walked up 9 floors in the parking garage to make sure we left no trace of donuts on the hips).

Jackson was a wonderful tour guide! We loved the mix of donut talk, Chicago info and the informal chatter. So fun all around. Jackson was extremely accommodating, full of energy and everyone had a great tour.

What a Great Balance - walking, culture and tasty treats! Visiting my home town with my British Hubby, I booked the tour for a small group of family to reminisce on old family beach outings. We loved the tour and our Guide Lizzie, she was friendly, very knowledgeable, witty and funny. The tasty treats were varied and all delicious, especially the last location, my favorite location and treat, and an unexpected surprise. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting or even locals. Was happily surprised to learn some new fun facts and history of my hometown

That was SO FUN! Way more than I expected and worth every penny. Crystal & Jeff were great. We got the yummiest total variety of donuts (and more) . Plus we got a walking tour of all the eclectic spots in Fremont St. I am on a mother daughter trip with my 21 year old. What a great way to start off the 1st day of fun!

I had such a great time! I was able to learn facts about Vegas that I never knew. I was also able to see different sites that I never would’ve known existed. I loved every place that we went to. My friend and I even went back to one of the stops, when the tour was over, and spent a couple hours there eating and drinking. Our tour guide was great! If you’re in Vegas, I would definitely give this tour a try.

Awesome tour! Ask for Kenneth, the tour was so much more than the culinary aspect — we learned about the different architectural styles, historical development of the city and the people who shaped it. Kenneth is a smart guy and great conversationalist too. Highly recommended.

On a personal level, my girlfriend and I thought Jackson was a lovely fella. We visited some cracking venues and the donuts were class, 10/10. Loved it.

My wife and I visit Chicago once a year and always have a new bucket list for the trip. This time the Underground Donut Tour was on aid list, time for a try. Man, so much fun! Our high-energy guide/owner/man of many disciplines (author, musician, lawyer, financial analyst...inside jokes you will be treated to) Jackson, did not disappoint! We had a group of 7 on our tour and was a perfect size group for a drizzly Saturday morning stroll. The 2-mile tour helped burn off all of the super delicious donuts we ate along the way. Highly recommended for tourists and locals alike! Thanks, Jackson, for an excellent time!! Joe & Shannon

What a wonderful tour!! We had so much fun exploring downtown vegas with Wade and Jeff. They know some phenomenal places to eat and have great stories about the city. Highly recommend for any age and sized group: we were lucky enough to get a private tour, as it was just my husband and I on a Monday morning. A++++

It was such an amazing, culture filled and absolutely delicious tour! Crystal was so much fun and informative and she took us to the most tasty donut places in Vegas. We would definitely recommend doing this Donut Tour when in Vegas and we will definitely be doing it again! :)

This was so worth it! We weren't sure what to expect from this, but Max, our tour guide, was really friendly and super knowledgeable about the city and the doughnuts. It was just myself and my partner on the tour and we managed to try 9 different doughnuts. Highly recommend.

If you are a fan of doughnuts and exploring cities you’ll love the Underground Donut Tours. Available in different cities throughout the US and other countries, the world’s only food tour specializing in doughnuts is available in Miami. I had the opportunity to go on their Miami Donut & Gelato Adventure and it was even better than I expected. This walking tour was in Miami Beach and for 2 hours we got to visit 4 different locations, try delicious doughnuts, enjoy authentic Gelato, and get a background of the locations and the area. Our lovely tour guide Lizzie was extremely nice and knowledgeable, she made us laugh and had great insights to share.

Wade was a great tour guide! He told some fascinating stories and was so funny and patient with our large group. All of the shops were incredibly nice and delicious. A great way to see a cool side of the city before it gets busy downtown!

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide Nick was super great. Really knew his donuts but also his Chicago history, architecture, art and lots about the food scene. We lucked out that it was a cold day and my wife and I were the only ones on the tour so we had a personal tour. Really fun and enjoyed Nicks humor and knowledge of the area. The donuts were incredible too!

Max was an incredible guide. Throughout the tour we were regaled with tales of donuts, architecture, and everything in between! We will not only be recommending this to anyone visiting Chicago, but also singing Max’s praises
