| We had a fantastic time on the chocolate tour. Bert is a great tour guide. He is gracious and very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone knew what was happening next. The chocolate shops were welcoming and happy to see us. What a great way to spend an afternoon in the city! |

| Burt is an exceptional, enthusiastic, funny and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. He is intent on making the tour fun for everyone. He greets everyone warmly and treats people with the utmost respect. He has a great rapport with all the chocolate vendors who greet everyone on the tour enthusiastically and provide the best service, no matter how busy the shop is. I highly recommend the tour. It was definitely a five star experience. |

| What a fabulous and tasty tour! I have already recommended it to many people, not only for the tastings but also for the information given to us by a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. And in planning my future days in NYC, I'll be sure to make a stop at any one of the wonderful chocolate shops we visited! |

| We enjoyed visiting the specialty chocolate shops (we probably would not have gone to otherwise). Burt, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating.. Although Burt made suggestions at each shop, the choice of 2 selections was our own. That was my favorite part of the tour - each person was able to choose their own favorite flavors instead of being forced to sample another person's choices. |

| Our tour guide (Bert) was very informative regarding the different types of chocolate, where they were from and was happy to make suggestions.
The choices for tasting sights was well rounded and gave a wide selection of different types of chocolate to try.
My group enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it for anyone like us, who Loves Chocolate. |

| My husband and I just took this tour as part of a 10th wedding anniversary weekend in NYC. It was so much fun. Burt, the tour guide, could not have been nicer or more accomodating, the chocolate shops were welcoming, and the chocolates were divine!! At one stop, the chocolates were chosen for us; we were able to choose our own pieces to taste at the other four. A very fun way to spend an afternoon, and a must do for any chocolate lover (and who isn't?). |

| Our tour guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. The vendors we visited were hospitable and the chocolate was delicious. After tasting really good chocolate everything else pales by comparison.
There was a lot of walking, especially to the last vendor, which I chose not to go to because I use a cane. The weather was unseasonably hot and humid making the walking more difficult for me.
I have already recommended the tour to my friends and family. |

| This was not exactly what I had in mind. My fault ... the leader was excellent, enthusiastic, and can be recommended to anyone. My husband and I did not feel compatible with the group .... perhaps another day we would have enjoyed it more. |

| They key to our appreciation of this event was tour guide Bert James, whose pleasant and informative manner helped heighten our enjoyment. One small quibble -- for the price, I think participants should get more than two pieces at each store -- 3 or 4 would seem more of an indulgence, and indulgences are what this tour's all about. |
