I was glad we found this trip at $25 pp. There are other more expensive tours that do the same thing. It was a big group so we didn't have a lot of interaction with the guide, who was pleasant and knowledgeable. The hour length of the tour itself was sufficient - about all either my son or husband have the attention for! I was glad I had downloaded the app and had my tickets loaded. I had read reviews that talked about having to get a printed out version. We experienced no issues and moved right to the line.

The Boston Underground Donut Tour was absolutely amazing! It was a rainy day downtown, so we got lucky and had a one-on-one with our tour guides. The tour guide and his trainee, Grace, were phenomenal. So knowledgeable, funny, kind and we had the best time chatting & learning with them. The donuts were YUMMY (my fav were the apple cider donuts!) and we got to work them off during the two mile walk. Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed.

Great tour and lots of fun facts about Harvard! Our tour guide was awesome. Definitely not geared towards prospective students but there were some on our tour. Just a note that we paid $23 online but tickets in person were $20.

Maz was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed all of the food tasted during the tour, and the interesting information given along the way. It was a 10 out of 10!

Our tour guide was Meg, she was warm, inviting and knowledgeable! Definitely enjoyed our tour and beer crawl.
