About this tour

Follow the scent of fresh donuts through Washington, DC, on a holiday-themed walking food tour that pairs sweet bites with stories from the capital. Begin inside Western Market, whose history dates to 1802, and sample donuts from a business run by the same family for five generations.

Continue downtown past a restaurant favored by a former president, then stop near the White House for photos. At Lafayette Square, take in more of the city’s history before discovering local favorite donuts and heading down Palmer’s Alley, a photogenic lane where internationally inspired treats bring the walk to a delicious close. Coffee and tea accompany the donut tastings, and the route offers a relaxed way to enjoy Washington DC’s landmarks and local flavors together.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Washington DC
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 46% in Washington DC means it ranks in the top 46% of tours in Washington DC by this score.
