| We loved Burt! He was very knowledgeable and personable. He was easy to listen to and was very patient with the group. We went to 5 terrific places to taste different kinds of chocolate and the experience was surprisingly interesting and marvelously tasty. It was a "throw-your-head-back-and-moan" eating experience. The kids (18 and 15) were also excited. We picked out our chocolate pieces, moved to an open space, counted to 3 and popped the delectable into our mouths together.....This tour is a must-have for adventurous families or groups who are celebrating a fun event (We were there for Daniel's birthday). |

| Lots of different types of chocolate to choose from; almost too many choices. The chocolatiers were very diverse which was interesting and the tour guide, Bert, was excellent and friendly. Nice locales as well like Saks, Bloomingdales, Rockefeller Center area and Park Avenue. No negatives to report; nice way to spend the day in the city. |

| We had an awesome guide (Burt) and we were very informed in all the aspects of chocolate. Would recommend it to visitors as well as locals. |

| I was there early, very much looking forward to the tour, but somehow I missed it. I swear I was there, looking around, waiting for some one to make some type of announcement or hold a sign or something. No dice. But when I called the lady (who was very nice btw) with the company, I was told that 12 other people were had been picked up and they all made the tour!
Was the tour walking or riding on a bus? Just curious.
One problem could be that Sacks fifth avenue has at least 2 exits. Perhaps in future you could specify which one? I was walking back and forth between them, so as not to miss the tour, and maybe I missed the tour that way?
Also, maybe you could have your tour person make some kind of announcement or something to ensure that everyone gets picked up?
I guess if no one else has this problem then maybe it's me. :)
Anyway, have a nice life. |

| What a great way to celebrate my mom's "special" birthday! We learned so much and I will never look, taste or smell chocolate the same way. We had a knowledgeable and patient guide and it was truly great fun! I recommend it highly. |

| What a great tour, the chocolate tasting was great and our tour guide was very informative. We did mention that it was our 38th anniversary so maybe an extra piece of the deliciious chocolate (not candy) would have been special. Will recommend it to anyone. The chocolatiers were also very gracious and polite. Thanks |

| Bert (the tour guide) was friendly and extremely knowlegable. The tour group was a good size. The chocolate is amazing and I learned a lot! The only down side was that if you take a tour in the warm weather you cannot bring chocolate home as easily. I am already planning my next tour. Don't eat a big lunch before the chocolate tour! |

| The pace for this tour was good, we visited 5 locations with samples at each. As a local I wanted to be introduced to places I did know. The discovery of the Maribel shop was a gem. The tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend this tour. |
