| The walking chocolate tour was a great experience. We stopped at 5 shops in 2 hours. Our guide, Bert, was excellent and very knowledgeable about each shop. We learned more about chocolate than we ever knew and the best part was being able to sample pieces from each shop. Each shop is unique in their product. We would never have known these shops existed if we hadn't taken the tour. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to do in NYC. |

| Our tour was quite small, my sister and me, and a mother & daughter duo. We were all entranced by the display in the windows at Jacques Torres, our starting point. We went inside and met Bert, our guide, who was very knowledgable on the subject. Because we were a small group, conversation about the chocolate we were eating was plentiful.
Each stop was unique and offered a different take on the art of chocolate. My favorite shop was Kee's.
The pace was leisurely and no one had a problem keeping up.
I would strongly recommend this tour to others.
PS -- We passed a hand pulled candy/sugarcraft store on the route, I think it would be a bonus to your tour if you could add it to the agenda. |

| I live in brooklyn and when my mom came to visit we wanted to get to the second tier fun new york. I had an excellent time, Bert is a great guide, gives just enough information about chocolate without getting too technical or boring. Loved all the shops we went to and even enjoyed the 'break" with some cheesecake!
would most certainly recommend. |

| We were a threesome of 50 year old friends from high school. One was a first time visitor to NYC. It was a cloudy coolish day but the walk around to the chocolate stores (and Elaine's) was heart warming. We had a knowledgeable and very calm tour guide which made the tour sooo much better. Thanks! Highly, highly recommended activity while in NYC. |

| The New Cuisine Chocolate tour was a fantastic way to explore and learn more about the city I live in through a food I love - chocolate! Learning about the chocolate makers and their art really gives you an appreciation for what they do. Bert, our host, was very accomodating and insightful. I took my parents and a friend of the family (all locals) and we all had a great time and learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour for people who love to learn and have an appetite for quality chocolate :) |

| This was our second tour and we had just as much fun as our first.
What could be better than tasting deliciously different chocolates on a beautiful day while strolling through the NYC?
In addition, Bert our guide was not only knowledgeable about the ins and outs of chocolate but also knows his fair share about the neighborhoods we walk through.
I would recommend this to anyone who is a little adventurous but mostly just wants to have fun and taste some really good chocolate. |

| 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! |

| 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. |
