The Underground Donut Tour, based in the U.S., recently launched its first tour in Ireland, according to Cision PR Newswire.
The launch is the first of its kind for the company in the European Union.
"We were absolutely delighted by the number and quality the of doughnut shops in Dublin," Jeff Woelker, founder of the Underground Donut Tour, told Cision PR Newswire. "We had no idea the passion, creativity and longevity of many of the shops in Dublin, and we are so excited to share them with the rest of the world."
Tours began on July 1 and will continue every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the year, from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Additional dates are expected to be announced at a later time.
Tickets are now up for sale at a cost of €40 for adults and €25 for kids 10 and under on the Underground Donut Tour website. They will be sold on a first-come-first-serve basis.
“Walking between four of the best doughnut shops in Dublin, we share the history of each location, along with many local sights, sounds and tastes of the area,” Cision PR Newswire explains. “Our tour primarily takes place around such famous landmarks in Dublin as St. Stephen's Green, Temple Bar, the GPO (General Post Office) and the Ha'penny Bridge.”
The Underground Donut Tour's plans to expand globally followed a strong establishment across the U.S. and the U.K., including Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, Portland, Seattle, Boston, Nashville, New Orleans and London, with Dublin being the newest location.
"We think we've really tapped into something with this doughnut tour," Adrienne Garvey, tour manager for the Underground Donut Tour Dublin, told Cision PR Newswire. "The doughnuts, the history, the stories -- we think our guests are really going to enjoy all of it. We can't wait for you to join us."
