The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour

Wanted to do something a little different for my boyfriend's birthday present, something we could enjoy together. Such a great afternoon. Our tour leader was friendly, knowledgeable, and surprisingly honest. (He told us why certain chocolates were his favorite, why some were just not up to par, and why others deserved to be spit out.) Not only did he know the history of the stores we visited, he also answered our questions regarding chocolate and its production. But nerdy stuff aside, it was fun and delicious, and we now know a few gems we probably wouldn't have found otherwise. WARNING: Do not eat for at least two hours prior to the tour. You must leave room for all these amazing treats. And remember to take risks. Sometimes the weird ones are the tastiest.

Would definitely do this again. Bert's stewardship was fun and insightful. Completely worth the $. The weather was perfect and the chocolate shoppes were great. Thanks for a fun time

Bert, our tour guide, was very knowledgable, professional, and polite. He made the tour a lot of fun. We had a small group which was a plus. All of the stops on the tour had excellent chocolate. Well worth the time and money!

The experience of Bert the tour guide was as valuable as the unique chocolates that we sampled. I was impressed that the samples we were given were right out of the main case as opposed to something that was just put aside for the tour. We had a choice as to what we wanted to pick.

Very fun group leader - knowledgeable insider NYC fun info - great group! Group instantly fun bce tasting chocolate. Nice to walk around NYC and taste gourmet chocolate as you've never tasted before. Comfortable, fun, interesting experience. Can't wait to take my Mother someday - and son too! Anyone would love. Thank you for a great time - and AMAZING chocolate!!

I set the tour up for my wife who LOVES chocolate ... I think I ended up enjoying the tour as much as she did. It was good learning where some of the top chocolateers in the city are, not to mention tasting some great chocolates. Tour guide was very nice and informative.

I thought this was just a special event for Valentines day--Turns out it takes place every weekend in addition to other tours. WOW was i happy to hear that. Our Tour Guide Bert--was so much fun, so informative and really pushed all of us to just enjoy ourselves. My husband and I more than LOVED THE CHOCOLATES---all of them!!! I have never tasted chocolates the way i experienced them on this tour (and probably will not again at the normal price tags...LOL) The unique techniques and blends of flavors really made this a fun experience and a totally new way of appreciating our favorite indulgence--- What a great way to spend the day Thanks so much Bert--Keep up the good work!

Take the girl/guy, just don't eat before you go!!! Lots of Chocolate to eat!!!

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was perfect. He was very knowledgeable about chocolate and the business and was very friendly. All the shops were so cute and smelled just lovely. The best part was of course the chocolate. I never knew there could be such variety. I am one who personally hates curry but when it was combined with chocolate it was amazing. We can't wait to try the other tours offered by this group.

We loved the tour because most of the stores were small chocolate boutiques that we probably would not have found out about unless someone told us about them. We especially loved the chocolate cheesecake at Eileen's Special Cheesecakes. We enjoyed learning about the history of the stores and chocolate in general. The only bad parts were at the beginning when another tour came through the same store at the same time ours started and it made for tight quarters. I also think we probably could have gotten a couple more pieces of chocolate at each store, and maybe cut out the first store to make our time spent at each store longer.
