| This was a birthday surprise from my husband who is well aware that I am a serious chocoholic. It was a perfect way to celebrate, with a little exercise in between the tastings. Although we know quite a bit about good chocolate, we learned more and truly enjoyed all the tastings.
I would recommend this tour for anyone who loves chocolate and/or interesting sweets. The length was just right, and the variety of shops we visited provided an insight into a section of Manhattan that we usually do not frequent. |

| There were eight of that did the tour together and we all totally enjoyed ourselves. The chocolates were wonderful and we certainly had enough to taste. There was enough time given to wander around the stores and purchase anything that you might want. Our tour guide was excellent and answered our questions and gave us lots of information regarding chocolates.
Our tour guide also mentioned that you are thinking of doing a wine and dessert tour which is something that we all thought would be fun to do too.
The only problem that we encountered was that the meeting place was not correct on our papers. All 15 people that went on the tour had the wrong information. In the future it would be better to make sure that the proper meeting place in correct.
Thank you very much. We enjoyed it totally. |

| I went to the Luxury Tour and the New Cuisine Tour. Yes I am a choco-olic. They were different and both de-li-cious. We where lucky to have Bert as our guide for both of them. He is passionate, funny and he knows chocolate very well. We already know how chocolate was discovered , so he concentrated on what it tastes and the sensation it procures. What a pleasant way to discover New-York. We learn a lot, even if we have great "cholatiers" in Montreal. |

| My sister and I took the tour together. We found our guide, Bert, to be extremely knowledgeable about the chocolates and the places we visited. He was also very
personable and enthusiastic. You could tell he loved what he was doing. The owners of the shops we stopped at were also very friendly. The chocolate samples (and we could make our own choices) were delicious. The next time we are in the City, we intend on taking one of their other tours. |

| This is such a fun way to spend an afternoon in Soho. We went to little known stores and trendy spots, too. Each chocolate recommendation was perfect and we ate so much that we had to take some samples home for later. We really appreciated learning how to truly taste chocolate! Our guide was entertaining and made everyone feel comfortable.
What a great time! |

| I am a chocolate addict and was so excited to learn about the Chocolate tour! While planning a day in the city for my mom's birthday, I decided out first stop had to be the tour. The chocolate that we sampled was absolutley delicious. It's a great opportunity to be adventurous or stick with what you know you will like. I'm usually not adventurous when selecting chocolate, however Burt, our tour guide, selected a truffle sprinkled with curry for us to taste. Although I was skeptical, I thoroughly enjoyed the taste.
The walking isn't extensive, but by the time you arrive at your next destination you are ready for the next bite.
There were 4 women in our group and all were 100% satisfied!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys chocolate!!! And here's a tip - if you plan the tour on a Sunday, you can still make a 3pm matinee. |

Good way to spend 2 hours.

| My husband and I loved the tour. It was so easy, prompt, informative, tasty and just easy going. Bert, the guide, was very sweet and he was a professional. His personality was truly enjoyable, and he was fun to listen to. We are definitely signing up for another tour soon. This is a great activity to do at anytime. Who knew that these chocolate stores even existed? Kee's..oh my..so delicious. I never knew that place existed, Jackie at Divalicious was downright cool and her dark chocolate fountain was excellent, along with the chili chocolate truffle (amazing!). It was all fantastic! Go for it! |
