Really nice guide who was mindful of the tour's needs. Enjoyed a pleasant amount of donuts had coffee (or hot chocolate) at the end.

"Awesome tour! More than donuts 🍩 Very informative , learned a lot. Great tour guide. Tour guide was patient and really cared about everyone in the group. Dc is always fun, but when you get an unexpected tour that has so much information and history , it makes it even better. It actually reminded me of when I was a child and we were on a field trip (that new fun feeling) Would certainly recommend."

Great tour by Leap! We walked through 3 different donut places and wrapped with coffee. Leap was very knowledgeable about the history of these shops and all the structures we saw on our walk.

Our tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide (Sam), was terrific in delivering information regarding the city, the donuts and any other topics which came up. She is also an excellent photographer. My daughter and I had an amazing experience, will certainly do it again on one of our next trips.

"Great views of the west end, delicious donuts and fun facts. Everything you could ask for in a donut orientated tour. We visited 4 donut shops, each had a different style of treat, all were delicious. We were shown beautiful parts of the city and being told some interesting local knowledge. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for a fun day out."

"I can't recommend this tour enough. You will taste exceptional doughnuts/pastries and learn a lot about the history of the central part of Washington D.C. Every single item on this food tour was delicious. I look forward to going back to each of the restaurants on future visits to DC. I plan to take family and friends along. If you take this tour, you would be very fortunate to have Sam as your guide. I have been on numerous food tours, and this one stands out because of Sam. She is very knowledgeable of the history of DC, she is extremely helpful, and makes everyone feel at ease."

Our tour guide, Sam, was great. She was energetic, funny, and very educated. She knew a lot of D.C history. I loved how she would stop at the sights we specifically had questions on even if they weren’t a part of the tour. Oh and of course the donuts were super yummy too!!
