| 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. |

| We were a small group of eight people, three sets of mothers and daughters and one young married couple. Our tour leader, Nicole, was great. She was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. By the end of the afternoon we all felt as if we had known each other for years! We visited chocolatiers, bakeries, one homemade ice cream truck and two wine shops. The shop owners were friendly and were more than willing to answer any questions we had. We will definitely book another tour. |

| I attended this tour with my mom, Godmother and cousin as a Mother's day gift and we all had a great time. We were lucky enough to have 4 other people on our tour that were delightful and friendly and Nicole, our guide, was wonderful! She was full of information and friendly and made sure we had a good time. We made 7 stops along the way and each one was informative, fun and tasty.
I will definitely be making plans for the other tours in Manhattan and I hope more will be added in the future. It's definitely a great way to spend the day in the city with family or friends and I will be spreading the word! |

| This tour takes you through some great well-known and not so well-known dessert spots. There is only one wine tasting spot (could have used more). They took us to two great chocolate places, ice cream, cupcake and a cookie place. Also had a mocha icy coffee drink. At first, I thought the samples were small, but as we went through the tour, I realized that by the end I could barely eat the cupcake-which was so delicious I pushed on :)
The tour guide was great, gave us history of Upper West Side and history of chocolate and wine making. There was an assistant tour guide that went to the next location to get the samples so there was very little wait time when we got to a new location.
Some of the locations are small and we spent time waiting outside. This was ok since it was a nice day, but I would avoid going in the middle of winter. The actual walk is around a mile in the whole 2.5 hours so its a very easy walk. |

| Nicole was a great tour guide who was really knowledgeable and gave us great insight on the places we visited. The bakery makes the BEST cookies in the WORLD honestly the best thing we've ever eaten. This was a great way to celebrate my friend's birthday on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. |

| I loved the walking tour from beginning to end. The places were great and all very welcoming and knowleadgable and our guide was wonderful (Nicole btw). Altho, it was a VERY cold day we moved from place to place quickly and they were all very near each other. It was both romantic, fun and a great learning experience for me and my boyfriend. I would highly recommend it! |
