| A spontaneous day trip to NYC with a friend found us looking online for something different to do. We happened across the ad for Zoom's Chocolate, Wine & Culture Walking Tour. What could be more fun than that?!! We signed up easily by calling Zerve and were told to meet the group in front of Starbucks. We arrived a bit early and there was no sign of a group. We went into the Starbucks and asked if anyone knew where the group met. No one had ever heard of it, so we thought perhaps we'd been scammed (such skeptics). We waited inside a few minutes until I spotted a young man with a messenger bag over his shoulder right there on the corner!! (Yay! Not a scam!) We met Bert, our guide, and the other "tourists", 10 in all, and were on our way. Bert is a delightful, knowledgeable, easy going guide and we had great fun. Three hours of walking, talking, and tasting went by very quickly. We would recommend this tour to anyone (not kids younger than say 16) who would enjoy an insider's view of some yummy and fascinating boutique chocolate stores! |

| Four stops of different chocolates from a manufacturer to a great cup of hot chocolate. The manufacturer was top notch. She spent an incredible amount of time with us answering some pretty good questions. We left with a better understanding of why premium chocolate is soooo good for you.
Highly recommend this tour. |

| We had fun on the tour. If you sign up be sure to get Bert as your guide. He was really nice and very knowledgable. He made you feel comfortable and kept the group together and moving on schedule, a real pro. You don't get much wine but after the first sip of the liquid chocolate you will forget all about the lack of wine. The others on the tour were very friendly, I guess chocolate lovers are all kind people. |

| The tour was really great! However I would have enjoyed learning about more wine and chocolate pairings. There was only one occasion where we had wine and chocolate pairings, and I would have enjoyed a more in-depth lesson on multiple pairings. |

| Our guide Bert was very down to earth and very easy to talk to. It was like we had known him forever. On top of his knowledge of chocolate, Bert was also able to tell us alot about the different areas in the city and give recommendations of other activities or places to see.
All around a wonderful tour and a great alternative to the other types of tourist activities in the city.The tour was unique and we expecially loved the chocolate factory. We were greeted by the chocolatier who was friendly, very informative and attentive. We were exposed to chocolate we might have not tried otherwise and also had a chance to meet the owner of the factory! |

| my friend and i recently went on the union square chocolate tour. bert, our guide, was fun and personable. it felt like it wasn't so much a tour with a guide than some friends walking around nyc. the chocolate was delicious and so were the other pastries we were able to try. we had a great time |

| I really enjoyed the balance of chocolate and non-chocolate items since you can get worn out from so much sweet deliciousness! Tour was fun, social, great guide, nice places and amazing food. Highly recommend this to anyone who lives in another neighborhood. I'll certainly be back to some of the locations when I visit in the future. |

| We have been on two New York Cultures Tours and they have both been fantastic.
Last year we did the Food and Culture Tour with Berry.
This year we did the Wine and Chocolate Culture tour with Burt.
As I have said ,both were great, Burt and Berry are excellent guilds.
We have recommended these tours to our friends who have all a great and informative time on the tours.
When we plan our next visit to nyc a New York Tour with yourselves is a must.
Kind regards. |

| REALLY enjoyed our tour guide, who gave us just enough background info and LOVED the wine and chocolate pairings!! I had both chocolates and wines that I probably would not have chosen on my own, but now have learned enough to be dangerous when I go out!!! GREAT time and worth it!!! |
