| Thank you for a wonderful chocolate tour. We took the New Asian Chocoloate tour and were surprised at how much we learned. Our tour guide Bert was very informed and open to questions. We were taken to some of the most wonderful chocolate places and found ourselves savoring some of the best chocolate tastes--and found stores we didn't even know existed!
Thank you again. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a new and fun experience--and a taste of the best chocolate in the Big Apple!

| I had a lot of fun on the chocolate tour and tasted some amazing chocolate. I'm currently living in New York and will be visiting many of the places we toured again. The only downside is that it was very expensive. Given that many of the hot chocolate tastings were only sample-size I feel the tour was a bit overpriced. Not that I needed more hot chocolate - I felt the sizes were fine, just that the prices didn't match. But our tour guide, Burt, was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Overall, a good time was had. |

| Carmen was a great Tour Guide. She was very knowledgeable and made sure the tour moved at a pace that everyone was comfortable with. Great side benefit - seeing Jacques Torres! |

| For anyone who has the time, I highly suggest taking both this tour and the Luxury Tour so you can see the dichotomy of the types of places that are in NYC and the types of shops that are becoming popular. I loved three of the shops, one I was not too hot on but thats just personal snobbery preference for chocolate. The tour is much shorter than the Luxury tour, but no less interesting or flavorful. The tour guides are knowledgeable and interesting to talk to and not snobby or arogant, which you can get from the other food tours in the city. Highly suggested for anyone who is a tourist or a NYC native, it's a good break from the normal tourist junk. The area in which this tour places you at the finish can be great for spending the rest of your day as well. |

| We had a small group, only my husband and I and another single woman, plus our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional but approachable. Obviously knows and enjoys his subject. The shops were tiny, unique and gorgeous. The chocolates were exquisite little marriages of passion, art and chemistry and we enjoyed sampling the more exotic combinations. There's a whole world of chocolate out there that most of us don't even know about. We especially enjoyed the cups of hot chocolate on our damp, cold day. The walk was easy and leisurely. Can't wait to explore the neighborhood and go back to the shops on our own and recommmended friends to this tour already. We plan to try the Luxury Chocolate tour maybe in the spring or fall ! |

| My family very much enjoyed our chocolate tour in Soho! Our guide, Carmen, was informative and enjoyable. She knows her chocolate and now so does my family! Even my 11-year-old nephew had a great time! Our thanks to Carmen!
