A real highlight

I wasn't sure what to expect on this tour but it turned out to be a real highlight of my trip. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable about chocolate, but also was down to earth and extremely personable. We visited 5 different chocolate shops over the span of about a 20 block walk (we walked at an extremely leisurely and reasonable pace though so the walk didn't seem bad at all). It was quite interesting learning about the different styles and techniques relating to the differing shops. My wife was ill and unfortunately couldn't make the tour but I was allowed to get her samples (to go) from each shop thanks to the wonderful guide. I can't recommend this tour enough. The next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be doing the other tour (by this company) in Soho.

Great tour - well led, well paced, and with five unique and delicious stops. I highly recommend to foodies both from out of town and locals.

Exposed to a new world

My friends and I attended the NYC luxury chocolate tour on Dec. 22nd. Our tour guy Burt was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was evident that he enjoys what he does and was able to share that enthusiasm with us. He had some good recommendations and took us to some unique places. Loved Richart and Piere Marcolino. It was a pretty cold day but the walk was not bad at all, even with lots of tourists around. Great idea to recommend taking a bottle of water with you. I couldn't eat any more chocolate by the last stop but I did learn about new stores that I could refer friends to and which I would definitely visit again in the future. Definitely a tour for serious chocolate lovers only.

The tour was absolutely perfect, well worth the money. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable without being a chocolate snob. The different shops visited on the trip had the perfect amount of variety. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Fantastic Christmas Treat to Ourselves

We decided to do this as part of our Christmas Trip to NYC. What a fantastic tour. We felt like New Yorkers going to places they would only know about. I especially like Marie Belle Chocolates where you had to ring a bell to go upstairs, and the shop was decorated with French Provincial furniture. It was a delightful surprise. All the chocolate we tasted was delicous.

We had an awesome guide who was so informative and passionate about chocolate. The samples were awesome and generous. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to all my traveling friends! I got alot of great ideas on recipes and packaging as I have just started my own chocolate business in Sydney. Thanks, I had a fantastic time.

Great until the last stop...
Sat, Dec 15, 07   12:00 PM sheila119 Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
My friend and I had did this for our friend's birthday gifts and she loved it. Bert was great - informative and entertaining, and his enthusiasm spread to all the members of the group. Our only problem was with the last place we went, Debauve & Gallais. It seemed like the clerk working at the time was annoyed w/our presence in the store and he came off as kind of rude. And when other customers came in, he ran over to them to apologize for us being in the store, like we were ruining the place. It seems to me that if Debauve & Gallais is that unhappy w/tour customers being in their shop, they should take themselves off the itinerary. This unpleasantness didn't ruin our experience overall though - we would definitely recommend this tour to others who love chocolate as much as we do... Thanks again, Bert!!

My adult daughter, a resident of NYC and I found this very enjoyable and informative. We are now aware of new locations to visit. We enjoyed the guide.

Our guide, Bert, was welcoming and solicitous throughout the tour, and he was very helpful about other places to see in New York. The chocolates were out of this world.
