| The tour actually consisted of only my husband and me, which was a lot of fun. Our guide was great- funny, personable, and ready to answer any question. I really feel like we got to see (and sample) some spots in the area that we never would have found otherwise. I would definitely take another tour from this company. It was well worth the money. |

| Tour guide was great - giving history of the area and fun facts. Food stops were awesome - and the desserts were delicious! The wine tasting was the perfect ending. |

| Our guide, Nicole, had infectious enthusiasm for food, wine, and how to eat her way through New York. It was the perfect amount of time, the right amount of people. I'd recommend this for adults (the kids would probably get bored and tired), absolutely! |

| We enjoyed this tour, even though we were slightly disappointed that we were only able to taste two wines. We thought there would be more given the title of the tour. The sample sizes at Jacques Torres were really tiny, esp. compared to the other ones we tried. I think the price of the tour is too high, but regardless we still enjoyed ourselves very much and would consider doing another one. |

| This tour was highly recommened but I found it to be just okay. The tour guide was very informative and very personable. The 9 other people we were with were also friendly. The stops we made on the tour were okay but it wasn't what I was expecting for the price. We only stopped at one wine store. The stop at the gelato store, I felt, was a waste of time. The chocolate shops were very nice but for $55 per person, I was expecting slightly more than half a piece of chocolate. My suggestion would be to get rid of the gelato store stop and add another wine store stop. And possibly increase the size of the samples. I wasn't expecting a full meal or even anything close but what we got seemed a little chinchy. So I'd give the tour a 3 out of 5. Glad I did it, but I wouldn't do it again. |

| I recently went on the Chocolate, Dessert & Wine Tour of the Upper West Side through City Food Tours. I have been a resident of Manhattan for almost 4 years, and I was delighted and surprised at all of the nice places we stopped at, none of which I had ever been to! It was fun learning about new great eating places, and I definitely will go back to many of the stops. Nicole was an amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide, and I highly recommend her and this tour for anyone with a sweet tooth! |

| We all had a delightful time with our very knowledgable guide. The 6 places we visited were small and would have been overlooked easily by us on our own. There were truly very special places with tastes very unique and delicious also. T he tour was what I hoped for and more and worth the price! |

| I would heartily recommend this activity to anyone looking to explore the overlooked food scene in NYC. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and my wife and I felt pampered by the personal attention. The stops that we made were exquisite, and I have raved to my friends and co-workers about the tour. |
