| I brought my girlfriend for her Birthday. She is passionate about chocolate and I wanted to do something that she would get something out of. She had a great time and although she knows a lot about chocolate she still learned a lot. Myself, not being nearly as studied on the topic had a great time as well. |

| For two chocoholics, we were in chocolate heaven. Curt our tour guide was waiting for us inside the first store. We lucked out and had a private tour, since the other group had cancelled. That was good news for us, but not for Curt. I'm sure our tip didn't help him much, hopefully he got some of the $70 from our tickets. The price was nearly twice that of the Foods of NY tour we took the next day. For the money, this one was not worth it. Although we really enjoyed it, it was pricey. We went to 5 high end chocolate shops. Curt knew everything about making chocolates and knew each shop owner. He gave personal recommendations, but we were able to select two chocolates from each shop. We also got hot chocolate in one shop and sipping chocolate in another, as well as a cupcake. We weren't able to eat it all and started wrapping it to go near the end. It was a great tour, but if you only have time for one - I recommend the Food of NY tours - either Greenwich Village or Chelsea Meatpacking District. |

| Our tour guide had lots of interesting information about new york and the process of making chocolate. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon. But a little pricey. |

| I highly recommend this tour.
For the price, I had high expectations of the tour, and it by far exceeded them.
The tastings were fantastic, everything from balsamic vinegar chocolates, to curry choco. It was a unique perspective of chocolate confections that I've never even heard of, nor expected to taste so great. Even after the tour, I ended up going back to a few of my favorite spots on the tour, and I'm sure i'll be back to each one on my tours back.
Bert, our tour guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had a tour group of 6, which was a great size and great people. They definitely helped with the experience. was explaining this tour to a friend, and my friend asked me, if I could just tell her all the places we visited, and she'd just go there herself, without a tour. But, I told her, the tour experience with Bert was well worth the cost, and I would assume that any other tour guides would be of the same caliber.
I've heard that groups can get as large as 13 people. Not sure if I can say the experience was any better with less people. I i definitely enjoyed the intimacy of our small group. |

| All the places were very good and unique and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, informative (answered lots of questions), and the area to walk around in was good to move around in after eating chocolate.
The only other thing to add is to inform the public they will be outside for most of the tour. We had a rather cold day to walk around in.
Otherwise a very good tour of chocolate. |

| I enjoyed the chocolate tour. The chocolate is amazing and the stores are adorable. However, the tour guide is amazing. I would take any tour that he gives. He is personably, charming, and hilarious. I recommend this tour HIGHLY! |
