Chocolate Fun

My wife and I had a blast. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and chose some very good spots. After 10 pieces of chocolate (2 at each stop), a few additional samples, and two double shot sizes of hot chocolate, we were ready to go into a chocolate comma. If you love chocolate, you'll love this. If you're looking to learn, and not eat, don't waste your time, as the chocolate fun is all about eating chocolates. A bit pricey, but if you can handle spending the money, you're sure to have a good time.

amazing chocolate, lacking in education

when i purchased tickets for this tour i was extremely excited. i thought i would learn about chocolate as well as being able to sample. i was interested in the history of chocolate, the creation process, etc. unfortunately, this was not on the docket. even when i attempted to prod my tour guide, i received only limited information. note that this is only a chocolate tasting opportunity. you do not get to see candies/truffles/etc being created or get to witness any processing. you visit 4 locations and get to sample 2 truffles (and sometimes hot chocolate). at the last location you get a cheesecake. the chocolate was wonderful and i was happy to have the opportunity to try so many creations. but, given the lack of education i'm not sure how much i'd recommend it. **i fully understand that my criticisms may only be attributable to the tour guide and not the tour in general.**

Exquisite and Delicious

The tour guide was a lot of fun. He knows how the chocolate is made, how it should taste, how it should be prepared, and he clearly loves it. He knows the neighborhood and all the people. He gave us great recomendations on what to sample. We had so many samples that we could not eat them all. Most we really delicious and many were very interesting combinations not normally associated with chocolate. We love to try new foods. This tour is great for those who love to experiment and for those who just want a lot of great chocolate. My husband and I were on this tour without children, but I think the kids would also have liked it. Thanks for a great tour.

Excellent way to experience hidden treasures in NY

We enjoyed our chocolate tour immensely! Our guide (Carmen)was charming, very knowledgable and enthusiastic about chocolate and New York! It was not only a great way to see SOHO, but also a great view into the independent spirit that makes this little neighborhood unique and exciting. Definitely recommend this tour!!

Different from normal activity

Had a lot of fun, probably because, in order, (1) it was an activity of a type we would not normally be exposed to, and (2) it was interesting and informative with respect to its subject matter. As a resident, it would not normally occur to me to take a tour of anything. But there is a distinct and favorable difference between being taken on a tour and exploring something yourself.

Great for Sweet Lovers to Explore Manhattan

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!

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!

I went on the NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour and it was amazing. I tried all kinds of chocolates that I have never seen or tasted before and it was unique experience. I also proposed to my girlfriend on this tour and the tour guide, Bert was so helpful and helped me set everything up and it was perfect! I highly recommend going on this tour, you won't regret it! I am definitely going back on the Luxuxy tour next time!
