| We all had a great time eating ,drinking and walking. Our tour guide Bert was enthusiatic and knowledgable. The amount and types of wine and chocolate offered throughout the tour was lacking. |

We had a FABULOUS time-laughing, drinking, eating!

| Thank you, Bert, for guiding us through the delicious and fun stops on the wine and chocolate tour! We had so much fun. We laughed, ate, and drank drinking wine and chocolate, which we all wonderful. Your expertise on chocolate, wine, and the city was greatly appreciated as were your informational and interesting sidelines.
I recommend this tour and hope to be going on more Sweet Walks! I look forward to seeing you as our guide again. |

| I highly recommend the wine/chocolate tour. Bert was a wonderful guide and my family had a fabulous time! The wines were great with the delicious chocolates. So fun and we can't wait to try the downtown tour. |

| As an occasional visitor to New York from Australia, I was looking for a new way to see parts of Manhattan that I hadn't explored before and the combination of wine and chocolate plus the pretense of exercise was irresistable.
The tour leader was delightful; the group of a modest size; the tasting opportunities were engaging. Altogether, an enjoyable and succulent experience. |

| This was a fun tour.
My sister and I wanted to do something fun and different in NYC and we love chocolate so this was perfect.
The first stop we paired 2 pieces of chocolate with 2 different wines. Great start.
Next we stopped at a shop and had a choice of 4 pieces of chocolate.
We stopped at city bakery and were served a huge chocoate chip cookie and some frozen hot chocolate. yum.
We stopped at another shop and were given a little bag of 4 chocolates. This shop had samples of some of their cakes too.
Last stop we had 2 pairings of chocolate with its matching liquor.
Bert was a genuinely nice tour guide and had lots of information to share.
Be prepared to walk. My sister and I love walking so it was a plus for us considering how much we were eating. We started at 31st street and ended at around 4th.
Some other reviews talked about how there was too much chocolate but if you save the packaged chocolates for later, it's perfect. I also liked how it wasn't all chocolate pieces and the cookie and chocolate drink was a welcome surprise. |

| Bert was a great guide. He shared his knowledge of chocolate, chocolate and wine combinations, and the city chocolate shops. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves chocolate. Bert was fun and we very much enjoyed his company and tour. |

| Bert, the tour guide, is very knowledgeable. He is also very likable and fun. This is the second tour we have taken with him and both have exceeded my expectations. You learn about chocolate and some interesting facts about NYC too. I also really like the shops we visited and will be returning on my own to buy more chocolate as I have done with the shops on the other tour. To make a long review short, I highly recommend this tour!! |

| This is the second tour we have been on and it was great. We had the same tour guide, Burt, and I was hoping beforehand that we would have him again. He is very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and very personable. You really have a gem of an employee in Burt. We will definitely be taking another tour in the near future. Thanks. |

| My friend and I played hooky from work to do this. Neither one of us can be described as a "chocoholic", but it looked very interesting and different, so what the heck? Bert was an excellent host, very informative and friendly, as well as down to earth and attentive.
Every place we went to was lovely. City Bakery was an okay stop, I understand it was to rest and chill out, but it was a bit icky upstairs. Delish cookie and hot chocolate though.I would have rather spent more time at Ayza...Wow that place is terrific!!
I will say I found the most interesting stop to be Vere. Not only was the chocolate scrumptious, but the ladies there so wonderful and accomdating and knowledgeable.
I have already recommended Vere to several people in my office, and a couple of co workers and I are going to go to Ayza next week.
Really, a terrific tour and a terrific host! |
