| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 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!! |

| The tour was small, so it was very intimate. Our guide was great! Very personable and knowledgeable! He gave us inside tips about chocolate as well as informational and fun tidbits about Manhattan. I highly recommend it and will sign up for another one soon! |

| 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, 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!! |
