| We have a whole new perspective on chocolate now. Bert (Burt?) was the guide for myself and my 16-year old daughter. He was knowledgeable, great personality, lots of fun.
Interestingly enough, upon our return to California, the very next day, the LA Times had an article on chocolate shops in France - three of them we had visited on the NY tour.
Be sure and keep Bert working for you, he's a credit to your company. Thanks |

| My husband treated me to a weekend in NY and this luxury chocolate tour. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! We were joined by two other couples and loved that the group was small. It kept things intimate.
Our tour guide, Bert ,was knowledgeable and friendly. He gets an A++ for customer service and his ability to connect with us all and guide us through the city. I was impressed with the history he shared of each place we visited as well as the 'little known' facts and bits of trivia he shared on the chocolate industry. This guy knows his stuff! Bert has a great report with each shoppe we were in and we were treated well by everyone!
Best of all... the chocolate. It was divine! I have never tasted such wonderful chocolate. How can I go back to Nestle or Hershey after this? Bert, fine chocolate and NYC have ruined me for life! :) Thank you all for a wonderful experience. I have already recommended you to my friends! |

| This was such a fun way to spend a day in New York! We enjoyed learning about the wide world of chocolate in such personal way. Our tour guide was very knowlegdeable, personable, and fun. As we walked from store to store he also gave us other great information about the city. We would do a food tour again!!! We highly recommend this tour and we can't wait to do more on our next trip! |

| I found this tour interesting and informative and maybe somewhat overpriced. Never the less, we all did have a good time. |

| We enjoyed both the chocolate and the guide's extensive knowledge. He was great. It was not too far to walk and there were restroom opportunities. There was adequate time at each stop. I would have brought a bottle of water with me if it was suggested ahead of time. |

| It was pouring rain the day of our tour and our guide showed up right on time. We were the only 2 people on our tour so we got the private show. We were so lucky! Everyone connected with the tour including those in the chocolate shops were kind and very understanding when we asked all sorts of questions.
I fell in love with chocolates from one of the places. It totally replaced my former #1 pick which was also on the tour. If I hadn't taken this tour I would never have found the place.
I highly recommend this tour. You will learn a lot about chocolate, taste some fabulous chocoate and come home with way too much chocolate. |

| Based on the website my wife and I decided to take this tour. Our tour guide (Bert) is who really made the tour worth while. He was both knowledgeable and fun to chat with. We went to five different high-end chocolatiers andr eceived tastes at each place along with some history lessons.
The tour was a bit on the pricey side. However, we had fun and would recommend it to anyone who loves chocolate. |

| This tour was a lot of fun. Lots of amazing chocolate, a great group ambiance and some nice strolling along Fifth Avenue and the Upper East Side. Each shop had incredible chocolate, and it was great to learn about the different techniques and styles for making good chocolate. Overall a great, fun, original thing to do in the city. Can't wait to go back and try their other tours! |
