Underground Donut Tour launches haunted city walks with sweets

Underground Donut Tour is rolling out Haunted Donut Tours in Boston, Savannah, London and San Diego, pairing ghost stories and local legends with bakery stops after dark. The company says more cities are coming, widening its food-tour model into a Halloween-friendly sightseeing option.

Why it matters: - Underground Donut Tour is turning a standard city walk into a seasonal after-dark experience that blends tourism, local history and dessert. - The haunted format gives families, groups, date nights and corporate outings a new option that is not a traditional haunted house or a standard food tour. - More cities coming soon could expand the company’s reach beyond its current haunted-tour lineup.

What happened: - Underground Donut Tour introduced Haunted Donut Tours in Boston, Savannah, London and San Diego. - The tours combine ghost stories, local legends, historic streets and sweet treats. - The company positions the experience as an evening alternative for Halloween weekend and other after-dark outings.

The details: - Each tour mixes sightseeing with stops at bakeries and sweet shops. - Guides share stories about restless spirits, infamous characters, unexplained events, murders, mysteries and local legends. - The current haunted lineup includes Boston Haunted Donut Tour: Sweet Treats & Spooky Stories. - The current haunted lineup also includes Savannah After Dark: A Haunted Donut & Sweet Treats Tour. - The lineup includes London Sweet Treats Tour: Haunted History of the West End. - The lineup includes San Diego Haunted History & Delicious Sweet Treats Tour. - Underground Donut Tour says additional haunted destinations are in development. - The company also says the tours are designed for anyone who likes a good story, history and food, not just paranormal fans. - Jeff Woelker, owner of Underground Donut Tour, said: "You don't have to believe in ghosts to enjoy a great ghost story, and you definitely don't have to be afraid to enjoy a great donut." - Underground Donut Tour says the experiences work for families, friends, private groups and corporate outings. - The company was founded in 2015 as a passion project by Woelker. - Underground Donut Tour now operates food-focused walking tours across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Between the lines: - The haunted tours extend a familiar food-tour model into an evening entertainment product with a built-in Halloween hook. - The format also broadens the company’s customer base by pairing local storytelling with a sweet-treat stop, which can appeal to people who want something more structured than independent sightseeing.

What's next: - Underground Donut Tour plans to add more haunted cities. - Travelers can book tours and get more information through the company's website. - The company also maintains social accounts on Instagram and Facebook.
