| My girlfriend and I went on this tour for Valentine's day, and we both loved it! The chocolate was some of the best I've had and our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly.
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about chocolate and have a relaxing time walking around NYC. |

| $70 dollars for 10 pieces of chocolate, I would say it is a little overpriced. We got to taste different types of chocolate, but I thought that we would get to see how it is made but we didnt get to see that. She said we would get to see how they made the chocolates, she pretty much took us to different stores and we ate chocolates, thats it...She was very nice, and was a good guide. |

| WOW. This tour was amazing. My boyfriend and I were celebrating Valentine's day early and thought it would be a fun activity, and we were not disappointed. Bert, our tour guide, definitely made the tour a lot of fun - not only was he friendly and enthusiastic, but also very informative and knowledgeable about the different chocolate shops. We visited several boutiques in SOHO, all with their own unique atmospheres, and sampled chocolates at each one. These weren't all your run-of-of-the-mill chocolates either - we had the opportunity to try really creative combinations of flavors that were different from anything I had ever tasted before. It was a great new experience, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the world of New York chocolate.
In short, if you love chocolate, and are looking for a culinary adventure, then this tour is for you! |

| This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide is great. Not only does he know a lot about chocolate, but also the area. He is friendly and fun. The tour itself consists of going to several different chocolate shops and picking chocolates to try. The guide knows all the different kinds of offered. There are some very adventurous types of chocolates to try, and you get to try ALOT!! I enjoyed this tour so much that I will be taking the other one soon. |

| I went on the chocolate tour around Soho with a few friends and found it so interesting. Not only were we enjoying amazing chocolates, but we were learning about it all the while exploring Manhattan in a new way. As a local who loves the city, this is a great thing to do with friends, a significant other or family members! Our guide Bert was so friendly and informative...I highly recommend it! |

| If you like chocolate and want to taste some amazing pieces, go on this tour. The chocolate was phenomenal and each shop was unique. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and it was fun to eat and learn about different types of chocolates (and their health benefits!). I really enjoyed this tour. |

| Simply put, if you're interested enough to be looking at reviews, there's no question you should take this tour.
The entire experience was phenomenal. I never knew such unbelievable chocolate could exist. Of course, you should come hungry- you eat a lot of it. But the tour was way more than just a lot of delicious chocolate; it was an experience. The tour teaches you a lot in a dynamic, interesting, fun way. We learned about the chocolate-making process, the history of boutique chocolate, trends in chocolate, and about the culture of New York City in the process. The tour guide was wonderful- he engaged everyone with a natural charm and grace, making sure everyone was having a good time.
Needless to say, I'll be recommending it to quite a few people back home. |

| I brought my chocolate-loving fiance on this tour for his birthday. Being Belgian, he has extremely high standards, but he absolutely loved it!!! Our guide, Bert, was AWESOME, extremely knowledgable, and so much fun - and we were lucky enough to get a "private" tour since the others cancelled (on what turned out to be an extremely frigid day). We will definitely be interested in taking some of his other tours. Even though we are locals, we still had a great time hearing all of his stories and taking his flavor recommendations. Plus, I'm not a big fan of chocolate myself, but even I enjoyed all of the great tastings & learning everything about chocolate and the people who make it. Thanks for a lovely afternoon, Bert! |
