Had a great time today with Jimmie. Really enjoyed the food - gourmet donut, churros, breakfast taco, gelato - so tasty. Along the way Jimmie told stories about Austin and SoCo in particular. I learned a lot and got to see some really cool stores. Thank you Jimmie!
Jimmie was amazing! We loved the tour
Bobbie was a great guide and extremely fun and nice and knowledgeable! We were on a girls trip and we had a blast walking around the tour with him and hearing about the history of Austin. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and Jimmy was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and funny! He was the best part of the tour!
Had great evening with Sergio showed us the sites and the history of New York. Also get to taste some lovely doughnuts made from different parts of the world
Jimmy was an amazing guide and hilarious! The donuts, churros and other food was 10/10 and very Ausitn.
It is a chill enjoyable vibe. Jimmie the tour guide is amazing and funny. I would definitely do it again and bring my friends.
I was a great experience. Jimmie was a wonderful tour guide and I look forward to doing another tour in the future :)
Love how I could choose my own gelato when coming in. It changed everything for me. I loved the murals and the Austin lessons.
Such an awesome way to experience a new city!
My college-aged daughter and I were gifted this Austin donut tour. We are from Austin and have often been to South Congress, but with this tour we did/ate (some) things we typically wouldn't do. I would say this isn't really a donut tour. The group I went with agreed it should be called a "Donuts, Bites, and Sites" tour. On our tour we ate donuts, tacos, churros, and gelato. (I assume this could change from time to time). Our tour guide was new, so they were still finding their flow, but we enjoyed this opportunity to learn some facts we didn't know about South Congress, see some sites we hadn't seen, and taste some delicious foods from businesses we don't typically patronize. Type: Walking Tour - Mostly Flat Length: 1.5-2 hours Three Breaks to Sit (about 10 minutes each). Indoor/Outdoor Bring water and sun protection
What a fun way to experience South Congress! Our guide, Kimberly, was friendly, welcoming, and did a great job sharing the history and local stories while keeping the tour relaxed and engaging. The food stops were all delicious, and it was a great mix of Austin culture, sightseeing, and sweet treats. I especially enjoyed learning things I would have walked right past on my own. The pace was comfortable, there was plenty of time for photos, and the recommendations for places to come back and visit later were a nice bonus. If you're visiting Austin or even if you're a local looking for something different, I definitely recommend checking out the Underground Donut Tour. Thanks for a great morning!
Our kids had so much fun, and there’s a ton to see up and down South Congress. Whitney was really great!
If you are visiting Austin and want to hit some hotspots on a short walking tour, this is a must do! With snacks in some iconic places, we walked, learned about the city and were able to get some awesome pics! We visited a few shops I otherwise wouldn’t have! Our tour guide Kimberly was so sweet!
Today I went on the Donut Food Tour with Kimberly, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The combination of delicious food, fascinating history, and storytelling made for a wonderful experience. Even though I’ve lived in Austin for nearly 30 years, I still learned so many new and interesting things about my city. The tour was well organized and had a great flow from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to both visitors and locals.
Whitney gave us an amazing tour!
Looking forward to sharing this tour with other friends and family.
So much fun, the tour guide was amazing. Would definitely recommend!
Such a great experience! Jimmie was welcoming and enthusiastic and eager to share information about Austin as well as some delicious treats! I’m a local Austinite and my son and I had a great time and learned some fun facts about our hometown! Would definitely recommend and we look forward to visiting again, as they expand their reach to additional neighborhoods!
I had such a great time on the SoCo tour with Whitney! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the history of South Congress come alive with fun stories and local insights. We got to enjoy delicious stops for donuts, churros, and gelato, and it all ended with a refreshing summer rain that somehow made the experience even more memorable. Whether you’re visiting the city or have lived here for years, this tour is fantastic. Highly recommend!
I had such a fun time on the Austin Donut Tour! The donuts were delicious, and it was a great way to experience some local favorites while learning a little about Austin along the way. The South Congress vibe is so quintessentially Austin, and it was the perfect place to stroll, people-watch, and soak in the atmosphere. Great food, great company, and a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. I definitely recommend it to both visitors and locals looking for a fun outing.
We had such a fun time sampling sweet treats around town, and our kids loved it too. Whitney was a fantastic guide—fun, clever, and engaging. She made the experience memorable from start to finish. If you’re looking for a unique and family-friendly outing, we highly recommend this donut tour!
Lots of fun, and a great way to walk and explore south congress while enjoying some delicious treats.
Nice way to tour different businesses on Congress street.

Jimmie brought great energy and made the experience so fun! We stopped a lot of great stops on congress, heard some great stories and ate some good food. Would recommend to anyone visiting austin
Amazing new tour! We had the best time walking around Austin sampling some incredible treats. The lineup was spot on—I’m still thinking about the donuts at The Salty and the pistachio gelato at Gelato Paradiso The pace was perfect, and it was so nice to get to know the other people on the tour. A huge shout-out to our guide, Jimmy—he made everyone feel welcome immediately and was full of great local info. He really made the experience special.
I recently joined the Underground Donut Tour in my own city, and it was such a fun and memorable experience! It truly made me feel like a tourist in my hometown. Exploring South Congress through a new lens while sampling sweet treats was the perfect way to spend the morning. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared interesting facts about the area that I never knew, despite living here. Each stop offered something unique, and it was great to discover local favorites I might not have tried otherwise. Whether you’re visiting Austin for the first time or have lived here for years, I highly recommend this tour. It’s a fantastic combination of food, local history, and sightseeing, and you’ll leave with a happy stomach and a new appreciation for the city. Five stars!
I had an amazing time on this donut tour! The donuts were fantastic, but what really made the experience stand out was our tour guide. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging from start to finish. Not only did they share interesting facts about the local area and each stop, but they also kept the group entertained and made everyone feel welcome. The tour was well organized, moved at a perfect pace, and felt like much more than just a food tour. You could tell our guide genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re thinking about taking this tour, I highly recommend it.
Jimmy was the absolute best host for this tour! He brought so much energy and really made the tour better with his knowledge and charisma. I’d 1000% recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking to explore austin’s best treats!
Jimmie is so great - his experience of Austin is amazing!
The Underground Donut Tour was incredible! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience both fun and informative. Even though I’m from Santa Fe, I still learned a lot about the city and got to visit places I had never been before. I highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals!
