| This tour was a present from me to a friend who was celebrating a major birthday, and it did not disappoint.
We had a terrific couple of hours with our guide Bert and the others on the tour. Bert managed to deliver an amazing amount of information about chocolate, while at the same time answering every question in a relaxed, thouughtful and humorous way.
I confess that at the beginning of the tour I thought that getting 2 samples at each shop didn't sound like much. Wrong! These are samples of very rich chocolates and we were in fact given extra samples or tastes of hot chocolate at several shops. Our samples turned out to be so filling that we didn't want to eat them all right then. We COULD have, but were very, very happy that we had taken a plastic container to save some for later. I heartily recommend this as a way to appreciate each type of chocolate -- and, I heartily recommend this tour. |

| I do not like chocolate and did this tour to please an out of town friend. My lucky friend got to eat 4 pieces of all the chocolate offered and he was in heaven.
However, the best part of the tour was the enthusiastic presentation of the young man leading the tour. He was so informative and showed extreme patience for the silliest of questions. Although I am personally not interested in anything regarding chocolate, his presentation at each store made me listen...and who knows, I might have learned something! |

| It was pouring rain the day of our tour and our guide showed up right on time. We were the only 2 people on our tour so we got the private show. We were so lucky! Everyone connected with the tour including those in the chocolate shops were kind and very understanding when we asked all sorts of questions.
I fell in love with chocolates from one of the places. It totally replaced my former #1 pick which was also on the tour. If I hadn't taken this tour I would never have found the place.
I highly recommend this tour. You will learn a lot about chocolate, taste some fabulous chocoate and come home with way too much chocolate. |

| Through the years we have been to NY many times, taking advantage of several different types of tours available. A chocolate tour sounded very different and interesting so we decided to give it a try. We were very warmly greeted by our tour guide who was not only gracious but very knowledgeable about chocolate. He took the time to describe the way chocolate is created and how this differs in individual regions of the world depending on where the beans are produced. He also provided us with information on the unique ways that each chocolatier developed and created his own style for his creations. Each chocolate shop offered each participant the ability to taste two pieces of chocolate and were very accommodating to having us in their shop. I would highly recommend this tour to chocolate lovers everywhere. |

| I changed my mind about La Maison du Chocolat. I had gone there at least 20 years ago and was disppointed because there was no milk chocolate. But Saturday I found out they do, indeed, have milk chocolate, so I'll be going there (especially since Saks, my favorite department store, stopped carrying Neuhaus). La Maison was the highlight for me; Pierre Marcolini came in second. Richart came in last for me. I was disappointed we didn't visit Martine's (much better than some of our visits). |

| The tour provided more than samples of heavenly chocolate. It included interesting information about the diversity and creativity of the chocolatiers, much of which I would not have known existed. Imagine a luscious tomato/basil chocolate! The enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide was an added bonus and I believed inspired a diverse group to have a great time together and ensure we will never look at chocolate quite the same way again.I can't think of anyone who is really into chocolate who wouldn't love this tour. |

| I HIGHLY recommend the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour! It's a must do for both tourists and NYers. It's definitely worth the price. Once you taste these chocolates . . . you won't want to go back to the stuff you buy in the grocery store! Be adventurous and try things you wouldn't necessarily try. We had chocolate with basil and olive oil and chocolate infused with rose petals. Both were delicious. Our tour guide Bert was the absolute best! He was knowledgeable and just plain fun. I'd love to take another tour with him again one day. Now . . . stop reading this and go buy your ticket! |
