| 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. |

Fun Time and Interesting.

| I attended with my daughter in her 20s. As out of towners who get here very occasionally, this was a great way to visit local shops with a guide. I appreciated the small group, just five of us. Our guide was warm, informative and she kept all of us feeling part of things. It was just long enough. Lots of variety, enough to eat and drink. We have been spreading the word to friends in the city and in our own area.

| We went on the NYC Chocolate, Desserts, & Wine Tour of the Upper West Side on Tuesday September 23rd as a birthday gift for my fiancee and had a fabulous experience. Jenn was amazing! She was very informative of the culture and history of the Upper West Side and extremely knowledgeable about the tasty treats we had on our tour. As supporters of local shops, my fiancee and I were pleasantly surprised to experience places like Grandaisy Bakery, Levain Bakery's delicious cookies, the Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Truck, Neuhaus, Jacques Torres, Magnolia Bakery's Upper West Side location, and Acker, Merral & Condit Wines. It was a fantastic tour and we can't thank Jenn enough for our wonderful time. We will be certain to recommend your tours to others. |

| I was able to get tickets for my girlfriend's birthday and we had THE most amazing time on the tour! It was the perfect length and the guide kept us involved the entire time. It was worth every penny as we were able to try so many delicious treats at every stop. If you have a sweet tooth and a taste for fine wine, then this tour is for you! |

| I am a chef at a nearby restaurant and took the tour to get to know the neighborhood a bit better. The UWS is great --- the proximity of Central Park, the Natural History Museum, and the beautiful expanse of the Hudson River make it an ideal walking neighborhood.... and perfect for a food tour. The tour showed me that that these city blocks are an enclave of delicacies waiting to be discovered. Nicole, our guide, was very well informed and even provided a history of the neighborhood and the development of culture in the area. She was fun and upbeat, encouraged participation from the group, and provided in depth knowledge of the fine products we were sampling....amazing cookies, exciting wines, and decadent chocolate! |

| A friend of mine told me I should go on this tour since I consider myself a foodie. I thought I knew most of the best places in the city, but I went anyway, and this tour really wowed me!
The tour opened my eyes to places I'd never even heard about before, as well as to some places that had been on my list to try for quite some time. I can't wait to show my friends all of the places we went on the tour, and to share with them my new-found knowledge of chocolate and gelato.
I had so much to eat, and the guide was very generous with the wine. I got to try so many different types of chocolate and wine, and I left the tour with a completely full stomach! |

| My wife and our friend really enjoyed this tour and plan to take the Lower East side one soon. Conrad, our guide, was both knowledgeable and passionate about his subject . He also clearly had an excelent relationship with the merchants we met, ensuring the balance between the needs of the tour and the needs of the merchants was always correct. He was also very generous with his knowledge of the city in general
We would recommend this tour to any visitors to the city just for fun. And, as aspiring New Yorkers we felt it helped us become more like locals faster.
PS what about a Beer tour? |

| 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. |
