| Our guide was very knowledgable about chocolate -- I had no idea there was so much to learn! Her interaction with the group made it more fun -- she asked questions and got us involved in conversation instead of giving a lecture. My group was small (3) and that was really nice. |

| My sister was in town visiting for her birthday weekend in NYC and we took the tour with Bert on a Friday afternoon. It was fantastic. As a local New Yorker, I had visited some of the chocolate shops on the tour, but most of them were a new experience for me -- they were all fabulous. Bert was an excellent tour guide -- extremely knowledgable about the art and history of chocolate. My sister and I had a great time (we were a bit spoiled too, because it was just the two of us, and it was like having a private tour guide). My understanding and appreciation of fine chocolate has gone way up. Loved it! |

| We had such a good time on our chocolate walking tour. Not being from New York City, it was great to meet people that were familiar with the area and also loved chocolate. We went to several chocolatiers that I had never heard of and they were all very delicious, service was friendly and helpful, and our tour guide Bert, did an excellent job. |

| I thought I knew what GOOD chocolate was, until I took this tour! I love chocolate, I thought I had a wide variety of knowledge on the subject but as I found out on the tour I know very little. The Chocolatier's that we visited where full of history and each had a wide variety of unique chocolate to try.
Our guide Bert was awesome! He is friendly, informative and a great guide. He was pleasant to have a conversation with.
It is an all walking tour, but that is a good thing, it gives you time to rest between tasting.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!!!!! AND BERT!!!!!! |

| Loved learning about chocolates, and about the high quality artisan chocolatiers here in New York. Now I know where to order great gifts, and where to find chocolates of the type I'd only had in France or Belgium before. I would enjoy taking future visitors on this tour again. Our guide Carmen was excellent . |

| Bert was a wonderful tour guide. He gave us a lot of information about each chocolate store and told us which chocolates were his favorite. The shops that we visited were very welcoming. There is a lot of walking on the tour but the shops were spaced out so you did not notice the distance. |

| My 17 year old daughter and I enjoyed this tour on a COLD, WINDY nor'easter of a day in uptown Manhattan; we were the only two booked for the tour that day, and we had a blast!! Fabulous chocolate, incredibly educational and complete fun! All of the shops we visited (and, of course, sampled the good stuff in) were personable, and seemed genuinely happy to have us there. But the best part was our guide, Bert! He was a wealth of knowledge and we walked, talked and ate chocolate non-stop. He made the tour (which was already terrific) even better!! I would highly recommend this activity; when I next visit New York, you can bet I'll be booking the Soho chocolate tour -- and requesting Bert. Don't miss a great opportunity to eat sweet and learn a lot! |
