Chicago: Fulton Market Tour

Duration

2 hours

About

Here at the Underground Donut Tour, we love ALL donuts––but Chicago is our hometown, and Chicago Donuts have a special place in our heart. Come join us in celebrating the vibrant food culture in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood on our new West Loop Donuts & Pastry Tour.

The tour begins at a classic shop, synonymous for all Chicagoans with quality donuts––Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken. From there we’ll walk the Randolph corridor, learning about the history of Chicago’s West Loop, a historic neighborhood which has gone through a series of revitalizations since its days as the industrial backbone of the City of Big Shoulders. We’ll sample the wacky, matcha-infused creations of a hidden-gem––the super aesthetic, Matcha-Cita cafe, where you’ll definitely need to pause for a photo-op! We’ll enjoy the over-the-top (and somewhat risque) donut stylings of a newcomer shop trying to break onto the scene, Voodoo Donuts, a Portland transplant featuring indulgent flavors and unexpected toppings. Finally, we’ll stroll through a magical, old-time brickwork alley laden with beautiful, floral street-art, before emerging on the other side at our final location––Sawada Coffee, owned by the world renown latte artist, Hiroshi Sawada. Throughout our journey, we’ll provide anecdotes and history of each of the locations, the surrounding neighborhood as well as Chicago history in general. There’s plenty of time for bonding, team building, joking around, and enjoying the company of your friends and family. The tour is about 2 hours long, and you’ll walk a leisurely-paced 2 miles.

Tours run many days of the week and several times a day, but this tour often sells out, so make sure to book your tickets today!

Timely Departures

Many of our tours have a tendency to sell out and we have to respect the schedules of our other guests, so we have to begin our tours on time. We will wait until 10 minutes after the hour and then we'll have to begin the tour. If you are going to arrive more than 10 minutes after the start of the tour, please call 844-366-8848 to meet us at our second location.

Tour Start and End

Please note that all of our tours do not end where they start, so if you have questions regarding parking, public transportation, etc. please ask your guide or contact us prior to the tour for the best recommendations. All tours are roughly 1.5-2 miles long, so you should plan to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, dependent on the weather. Most tours can be walked end to end in about 30 minutes, so you can always walk back to the beginning, take a cab, public transit or find another means of returning to the starting point fairly easily.

What to Bring

Please make sure to bring your appetite. There will be plenty of donuts for everyone. This tour is outside, so please dress according to the weather. Also - if you have any food allergies, please let us know ahead of time, so we can prepare accordingly.

Thanks so much for booking!
