| The tour size was kept small and was conducted in a very informal fashion which made it all the more enjoyable. The tour progressed at a leisurely pace and I relished the fact that you had more than adequate time to purchase more chocolates if needed. Our guide was very knowledgeable in the realm of chocolates and made great suggestions on what to try/not try. I felt that the overall selection of venues was carefully thought out and had a good representation of European chocolates. Although, I must comment on that the Irish shop despite having a very tasty hot chocolate drink, had a limited selection of chocolates that did not quite fit the style of the other 4 shops. To recap - a wonderful experience indeed. I will definitely be going back to visit a few of those shops on my own, some I probably would have never found had it not been for the tour! |

| The tour was an opportunity to do something truly different. Bert, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgable. He provided a casual approach to the event, which helped everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the afternoon. All in all a great experience. |

| Thank you Bert!!! How awesome to find a tour unique for locals and visitors to NYC!! My 14 old daughter and I had the day off and I wanted to do something interesting and fun. This tour covered it! We know more about chocolate than we ever thought could be possible. Bert is so knowledgable about the process of making chocolate to the intricate aromas, and flavors. His suggestions were superb. We were able to freely choose two pieces from each shop and two of the five we were given hot chocolate.. each very different. Our small group of nine was diverse, interesting and fun. Bert set the tone at the first shop and we were able to mingle and chat walking along 5th avenue and vicinity. We highly recommend a leisure two hours with Bert . Thank you, we loved you and all that you know about chocolate! |

| We had such a great time on the tour. My sister and I took my mom for her birthday. The tour guide, Bert, was really nice. He called us when it got close to noon to make sure we were on our way. It was nice of him, instead of just leaving without us. He was very knowledgeable and said happy birthday! to our mom. The chocolates and hot chocolate were delicious. It was raining, but it really didn't matter. We didn't even notice because we had such a good time. We told some friends about it when we got back home and recommended it on Facebook.
Thanks again! |

| This activity was so much fun. We love chocolate and it was fun to learn more about it. Each store had a different flare and approach to making chocolate. It was fast paced and entertaining. I would recommend this tour. I ordered additional chocolate from 4 of the 5 stores so far. |

It was wonderful to walk the neighborhoods, get information about what we saw, as well as learn about the different nuances of each shops selection of chocolate. I will recommend it to all of my friends traveling to NYC as somehting unique and different to try. |

| My boyfriend and I went on the chocolate tour during a weekend in NYC. We both love chocolate and were very excited about the tour after reading numerous positive reviews. We actually missed our original tour due to a delayed flight, but Bert and Carmen were more than willing to get us on another tour the next day. They were amazing to accommodate us! The tour was incredible and we highly recommend it for all you chocolate lovers out there! The tour goes by fairly quickly, there is minimal walking, and you get to sample NYC's best chocolates. I never thought I could have "too much chocolate" but this tour will surprise you! Bert was also an incredibly fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Overall, great experience and tons of fun! |

| I always love walking around cities when I travel. But, not only did we get to see parts of New York, we also to taste and learn about chocolate! Bert, our guide, was terrific in answering all of our questions and giving us his opinions on what to sample! This was truly a unique experience and I would recommend it highly! |

| The tour was great. The tour guide "Bert" was very knowledgable about the content.
We learned a lot of information about chocolate that we never knew. Especially regarding the various methods that are used to make the various types of chocolate.. (American, English, Irish, French, Belgium). You learn what tastes you like the most. All the chocolate was great.
You do need to be a chocolate lover (as most of us are). You will definitely sample quite a bit of chocolate.
All shops were very attentive to us. The walk inbetween shops was just enough. Glad the shops were not so close together after eating the chocolate in each shop.
