    Something a bit unusual to do in city, and a perfect adventure for sweet lovers! There’s an expansive and strange variety in all they take us through, from grommet donuts, a donut grilled cheese, cupcakes and heavenly cinnamon rolls! Every place is within good walking distance and never feels more than 10-5 minutes to get from place to place. It’s a very chill and calm tour, where there’s a chance to bond with the group and guide, as it’s less content based but through flavor and friends.

    Good sweets tour!

    Shanique_S, Sep 2026
    I was the only one on the tour, so it was just me and Wade, my tour guide. It was informative and a great value for the amount of sweets I got to try. Wade was friendly and easy to talk to. It felt like a friend was showing me around, introducing me to different sweets and sharing the history behind the places we visited.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for joining us in San Diego! Wade says 👋 A solo tour that feels like a friend showing you around is the sweetest kind of compliment. We’re so glad you enjoyed the treats, the history, and your time exploring America’s Finest City. Hope to host you again in San Diego or any of our donut holes around the world!

    Delicious and fun

    We had a great time. Everything we tried was delicious. If you are looking for something different and fun, this is for you. We went to 4 locations which were either donut shops or pastry shops and we loved everything that we tried.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Sweet Stroll Worth Every Bite

    Christopher_R, May 2026
    I had such a great time on this sweets tour. The donuts were absolutely incredible—some of the best I’ve had in my life. The walk itself was really nice and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. I loved exploring, learning the insights along the way, and of course, enjoying all the treats. Highly recommend for anyone who loves donuts and a good walk!

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you! We love hearing from our amazing guests! We hope to host you again!

    Sugar overload and information underload

    Jonathan_E, Aug 2025
    Maybe it goes without saying, but you will eat alot of sugar on this tour. By the end, it was more of a chore to keep eating than an enjoyable experience - and that says alot coming from a high-tolerance sugar enjoyer! Wade is a very nice guy and we enjoyed meeting him but we were underwhelmed with the kind and amount of information he was able to share about the area. Much more of his dialogue was personal in nature versus what you would typically expect on a tour. Our group was small though and I know he was trying to fill the silence so I cant blame him, but I do wish there would've been more detailed information or interesting facts about Little Italy or downtown San Diego, etc.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you for your feedback. We want our tours to feel like your local bestie is showing you around. We encourage you take anything you can't eat home, as to not be overwhelmed. We hope to earn those final stars on a future tour. Thank you again for your time with us!
