We had an amazing time on the Underground Seattle Donut Tour, and Athena was the highlight of the entire experience! She was incredibly knowledgeable at every stop, sharing fun facts and history with so much enthusiasm. She answered all of our questions with ease and made sure everyone in the group felt included and engaged. The tour was perfectly paced, the donuts were delicious, and Athena’s energy made it even more enjoyable. Everything was seamless from start to finish and we would absolutely do this tour again and would highly recommend Athena as your guide! 🍩👏

The tour was very fun and informative. Athina was a great guide: friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate. We enjoyed trying the various donuts and learning the history of the shops as well as general Seattle history.

Bella was an amazing tour guide. Engaging, informed, friendly, and fun. We toured with a teen and 2 adults. Everyone had a good time.

Thank you for joining us in Seattle! Bella says 👋 A sweet time for teens and adults is exactly what we love to hear. We hope to host you again in the Emerald City or any of our donut holes around the world!
It is a walking tour. Don’t book if you have a stroller or mobility issues. We liked the malasadas and beignets, however the standard donut shops were disappointing. Expected gourmet crazy donuts like maple with a slab of bacon or a matcha donut or a donut covered in sugary cereal.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for joining us in Seattle and for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the donut selection did not feel as special as you expected. We do choose the best, most popular, and often viral favorites at each stop, but taste is personal. Our tour is fully accessible, clearly listed as a walking tour, and our guides always go at the pace of the group. We appreciate you giving us a try.
Fun experience with family. Walking and talking about the city and the local donut scene. Highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So glad you chose to spend your time with us in Seattle! Thank you for making us part of your family’s visit to the Emerald City. We’re so happy you enjoyed the walk, the city stories, and the local donut scene. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to host you again in Seattle or any of our donut holes around the world!
Athina was fantastic. We went to four different types of donut stops and chatted along the way. Very informative about Seattle and donuts. Enjoyed by all ages! Highly recommend!

We’re so happy you enjoyed the variety of donut stops, local stories, and conversations along the way. Hearing that guests of all ages had a great time is especially sweet. We’d love to welcome you back to Seattle or any of our donut holes around the world!
We truly enjoyed this tour. Bella was excellent, she was friendly and pleasant. Not only did she take us to wonderful bakeries, she told us alot of interesting facts about Seattle and the bakeries. I was surprised when each bakery had a different type/flavor. They all tasted amazing.

Come hungry! You may also want to bring along some protein if you're sugar sensitive. The donut shops are real hidden gems in Seattle.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you so much for rolling with us in Seattle! We hope to host you again, in any of our donut holes around the world!
Fun tidbits about the city as we walked from one donut shop to the next. Interesting facts about the different donut shops/restaurants. Starts on 5th Ave and ends in Pike Place Market. Definitely go hungry or plan on a go bag!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We love that you came hungry and left full of fun facts and donuts! 🍩 It’s great to hear the tour felt like the perfect mix of tasty stops and Seattle stories along the way. That’s exactly the kind of sweet stroll we aim for. We hope to host you again in Seattle or in any of our donut holes around the world.
The donuts are delicious and Deb knew a lot about them but some places like the one at the market were just alright and I would have preferred to get a different flavour rather than the normal usual mini donuts
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback — we truly appreciate it, especially since we know we didn’t quite earn 5 stars this time. We’re so glad you enjoyed the donuts and Deb’s knowledge, but we hear you on wanting more exciting flavor options. That’s helpful insight as we keep improving. We’d love the chance to earn that 5th star next time. We hope to host you again in Seattle or in any of our donut holes around the world.
Our tour guide sent a text asking that "We find her, at Top Pot". She would be upstairs in the back. Why would we ever need to find our tour guide? She did not arrive on time. After getting our donuts she put gloves on. Yet, before she touched our food she reached into her back pack to get a utensil to cut the donuts. Once again with her gloves on. We did not find that sanitary. She talked a mile per minute and jumped from one subject to the next. It was supposed to be an underground tour, which she stated to us. That never happened. Due to some physical restraints we did request that we skip one trip downhill. She is an Amazon fan. Amazon does this and that for their employees. Amazon is just awesome, according to her. We were not interested in an Amazon commercial. At the end of the tour she asked us to scan her badge for a website to give her an excellent review so she can get Angel wings. Once again asking us to meet her needs, at her convenience, not ours. She came across as arrogant and superior. Believe me we are not ignorant or stupid but she definitely talked down to us. We are both retired and our son gifted this trip to Seattle. We have traveled the country. Seattle was one place we had missed. We have been in 47 states. She mentioned having been in graduate school. Yet, her grammar was atrocious. I started out giving the tour three stars but I now realize that was too generous.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We are truly sorry your experience in Seattle felt uncomfortable and disappointing. That’s never the feeling we want to leave our guests with — especially when this was a gift from your son and part of a special trip.
To clarify one point: Top Pot (upstairs, in the back) is our designated meeting location for that tour. We ask guests to meet the guide there rather than gathering outside so everyone can stay warm, seated, and comfortable before we begin. That said, the welcome should always feel warm and engaging — not confusing or impersonal.
We also take your concerns about food handling and pacing very seriously. Our guides are trained in proper food safety, and what you described does not reflect our standards. Likewise, the tour should feel cohesive and conversational — never rushed, scattered, or like a personal commercial for any company.
We truly wish you had contacted us privately right after the tour so we could have addressed this immediately and made it right. As a small company built on word of mouth and repeat guests, we care deeply about each experience and would have welcomed the opportunity to fix this in real time.
While we can’t undo the day, we would genuinely love the chance to host you again — in Seattle or in any of our other cities — and provide the thoughtful, welcoming, story-rich experience you deserved the first time.
Thank you again for your candid feedback. It helps us improve, and we hope we’ll have the opportunity to make this up to you in the future.
This was hands down one of the most fun tours we did while on vacation – like ever. Jesseca had a deep understanding of Seattle's history and food, paired with such a fun energy. We had a small group, but that made the experience even more fun because we got to know each other better.
Every place we got donuts from was better than the last!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We’re so thrilled you had such an unforgettable time in Seattle with Jesseca! 🍩☕ Her mix of local knowledge, great energy, and sweet stops makes every tour a treat—and we love that your small group made it even more special. Thanks for the amazing review—we donut take it lightly!
The Underground Donut Tour was great! Deb was fun and knowledgeable; she knew so much about the sites we saw and the donut shops we visited. Lots of fun!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
