| I wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived on the tour but our guide, Burt, quickly put us at ease. He is a fun person & has a passion for chocolate & how it's made. He made the tour fun, interesting and encouraged interaction among the guests on the tour. I also appreciated the fact that even though we were going to some of the priciest chocolate shops in the city, he kept the tone of the tour down to earth and casual. We really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend the tour to our friends. |

| My husband, 12-year-old daughter and I very much enjoyed our Luxury Chocolate Tour on a recent visit to Manhattan. Our guide was passionate about the topic of chocolate and he taught us quite a bit in the process of walking to the assorted shops on the tour. Great way to explore the upper East side and feel more knowledgeable at the end! The tastings were great too :) |

Good for tourists, not for locals

| Our guide was fun and the chocolate was good, but not sure this was worth the high price tag. The tour advertises that it is through the upper east side, but you never get higher than 59th. Also, I thought I would be shown hidden gems in NY, but 2 of the shops were in major department stores. |

Well worth the drive!

| We drove 4 hours to NY to take this tour - as a surprise for my husband. Our guide was waiting for us at the designated spot and once the entire tour had arrived (15 people) we started out. For a walking tour, the furthest we had to walk from one store to the next was about 7 short blocks, so no one got overly tired. The guide scheduled bathroom stops, and gave us enough time at each location so that we didn't feel rushed. We went to five gourmet chocolate shops where we were able to choose two pieces of chocolate from their entire collection while the guide gave us a little history of the shop and the chocolate making process. There was also plenty of time to buy more chocolates if you wanted (the prices were not outrageous - but they were in line with the fine product). At the end of the tour my husband and I decided to have lunch and our guide was kind enough to point out nearby locations.
All in all it was a fun and decadent tour. At first, 10 samples doesn't seem like much, but we were definitely chocolated out by the end and even saved a few for the next day. We look forward to taking more tours with this company and even handed out the brochures the guide gave us to shoppers we met in Bloomingdales who overheard us talking about how much fun we had. |

| This tour was soooooooooooo good! Such good chocolate to taste and the tour guide was a lot of fun and super nice. I unfortunately was a little late for the tour and the tour guide, Bert, called my cell phone to tell us where to meet him. He also was going to get us samples from the places we might have missed...thankfully nothing was missed! We even got more than just two samples at some places. It was absolutely delicious! I have been to NYC a bunch of times and probably have past these chocolate shops and never even thought twice about going in them. I will definitely have to stop by them again to try some more chocolate! |

| A friend and I went on this tour when we were visiting from the DC area. We had a great time! Not only was the chocolate fabulous, but the tour was very informational and Burt is fantastic! At first, I was a little hesitant due to the price, but it was a great value for what we had. Each shop had 2 - 3 things for us to try and they were all very welcoming. There was no pressure at any time - to buy, to hurry up, to not ask questions, etc. It was all very relaxed. My friend and I plan on doing the two other chocolate tours now that we've been through this one. |

| There was nothing that could have made this tour any better' The tour guide was both knowledgeable and knew how to lead a tour, something that so many guides cannot do; |

| Burt was a wonderful tour guide, you can tell he has a true passion and love for chocolate. The tour was very informative once you are done you can have fun bragging about your new found knowledge of chocolate. I took my fiancé on this tour for his birthday, and he loved it. It was also a really beautiful walk around the city. |

| Wow! Before leaving on the tour I said it would be impossible for me to have too much chocolate. I ate all my samples, and had my fill of chocolate when the tour ended. We had Bert as our tour guide, and he was terrific. I will definately take a tour again. |
