| 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. |

Decadent, Delicious, and Delightful!

| Overall a well coordinated tour by our guide Burt - who was charming, informative, and very apologetic when Zerve gave us the incorrect location to meet. (Mistakes happen but more should have been done to correct the mistake - for example calling the cell phone numbers customers provided.) The tour provided a balance of excellent chocolate to taste, paired with a good wine, and interesting businesses to visit.
I particularly liked the bit of neighbood history Bert provided while strolling some lovely East Side streets. All and all a lovely afternoon. |

| 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. |

| Two 60 year olds, one 40 year old and an eight year old. The tour leader was very nice and gave us many chocolate facts. Our grandson tried everything and was given extra chocolate instead of the wine. We visited five places, including a chocoate factory where we ate a number of chocolates and had each one explained. We all had a fun afternoon and didn't need dinner, except for our grandson who ate some pizza and wanted chicken soup after the pizza and chocolate! |

| I wasn't quite sure what kind of a tour this would be, but was impressed with the knowledge of the surrounding area that our tour guide had. He was charming and very personable. Except for the chocolate company that we visited that actually made the chocolate on the premises we had no contact with anyone other then the counter people who gave us the chocolate upon our arrival. By the time we arrived at our final destination I wasn't really interested in tasting any more chocolate. I love chocolate, but was more interested in the interesting information that we learned on the way. |

| This was my THIRD chocolate adventure with Bert! And, as usual, the experience was entertaining and educational and well worth my precious time while visiting the best city in the world! The chocolatiers we visitied seemed enthusiastic about the opportunity to tell us about their products and the addition of bakery thoughts was a nice new wrinkle. If you haven't discovered the Union Square neighborhood yet, this tour is a must just to get Bert's perspective of this incredibly interesting part of NYC ...to say nothing about the delicious port served at our first stop!! |

| 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. |

| 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 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. |
