| If you haven't taken a chocolate tour in the city, you should. Its interesting to see all the different chocolatiers in NYC and taste what really good chocolate is like. Great for a date! | ||||||

| The tour was very informative and fun. The tour guide was very knowledgable and really cared that we received the full experience of the tour. However, by the 5th shop we were over indulged with chocolates we needed to take them in a to-go bag! | ||||||

| We absolutely enjoyed the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour on 1/29/2010. I booked the tour for 3 reasons: (1) To entertain my cousin visiting from Germany (2) To celebrate my sister's 40th birthday (3) To treat myself with the love of my life which is chocolate. Even though the weather was cold and windy, we had such a fun time that we weren't even thinking how freezing we were. It was a nice stroll through the city and we visited 5 Chocolatiers. We didn't even know that such delicious truffles existed in the city. We can't leave out the Tour Guide! We had Matt and he was terrific. He was sweet, funny and was a great help with his Truffle suggestions. He even made the tour extra special knowing it was my sister's birthday. Thanks Matt for a fun-filled sweet day. You made our experience very memorable! | ||||||

Something Very Different

| Who would have thought there were so many chocolate places in NY City? I choose the tour as a surprise for my wife (a chocolate fan). It was a very different way to spend a few hours in the city. A chocolate sample, a short walk, another sample, and so on. Matt, our guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Highly recommend it. | ||||||

| Our guide was prompt, personable and knowledgable. The chocolates were delicious, especially the hot chocolate(s). Definitely wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water to clean your palette between stops. | ||||||

| This tour was a wonderful way to spend 2 hours in the City. Matt, our guide was knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. He gave us very wise information about not trying to eat all the samples as you go - it is amazingly rich and filling. We had the opportunity to purchase chocolate at each shop we visited with a 10% discount and so we finished the tour with lots of great chocolate to bring home. The walk was an easy one and there was just enough time at each location to enjoy each shop. I give this my highest recommendation! | ||||||

Highly Disappointed

| The tour guy (Daniella) was great. The tour was highly disappointing. All we did was go to five chocolate shops to get samples. No one showed us anything about how the chocolate was made, packaged, distributed etc. Only the first shop owner really talked to us (and that was because we got there early and asked him some questions) the rest just nodded and said hello. We felt ripped off for the price we paid and will tell everyone not to take this tour or any of the other chocolate tours. It seemed as though it was simply a way to get us into the stores, hoping we would buy some chocolate, which we would have done if we had been given a tour and treated like people. Again the guide was great and it was not his fault we are so disappointed. We will not do any more tours with Zerve. | ||||||

Awesome Soho chocolate tour

| I went with 3 friends (as a mutual birthday outing) on the Soho Chocolate tour. Despite the rain, it was abundantly fun and delicious and surpassed our expectations. Our guide, Linzi Jean, was very friendly, knowledgeable and organized. We had ample time at each stop, but miraculously stayed on schedule. The chocolate stops were much more unique and interesting than I'd imagined. While we did walk through a bit of Soho, everything was fairly close together, so even in the rain, it was an easy jaunt. Thanks! | ||||||

| Burt was great, and unfortunately for Sweetwalks it was his last tour. He was good enough to be picked for a management spot at one of the chocolate stores he frequented on this tour. it turned out to be a private tour for me and my boyfriend, and four trainees joined the group. It was a lot of fun, and Burt was very knowledgable about everything! What we particularly loved about him was his lack of pretension. The stores were all very interesting, and we bought chocolates from every one of them. Unfortunately for us, I somehow left the bag with a large 20 oz tin of the Aztec hot chocolate we got from Mariebell Sweets at the theatre. The hot chocolate was so good, as were all the hot chocolate samples we received! I would recommend this to any chocolate lover, and would say to be open minded about what chocolate is, because I came to find out that beautiful ganache can be combined with curry, pistachio, lemon, sesame, passion fruit, and so many flavors one would not expect. They were all delicious, and it certainly opened my mind up as to the depth of possible flavors. Thank you Sweetwalks for a great birthday present experience for my boyfriend. | ||||||

| I took my 12-year old daughter on this tour on a cold, rainy weekend afternoon. Because of the weather, we were the only ones on the tour. The guide was extremely nice, personable and knowledgable. Because of the weather, he emphasized some of the sellers of speciality hot chocolate as well as chocolate and truffles. We got more than enough to taste at each place and the owners knew our guide well and so we were bumped to the front of all the lines. Generally, a great time with truly delicious tastings. | ||||||

| Our tour guide Burt was just great. From the minute we met him at the 1st chocolate shop, he was very engaging. He definitely knows his chocolate history, but at the same time, didn't bore with too much detail, and allowed for plenty of eating and tasting time. The weather in the city was rainy, cold, and windy, and the city was packed with shopping tourists for the Christmas season, but even with a group of 13 people, he managed to keep us all in good spirits and somehow managed to keep us together! I found out about this tour online by mistake, but it turned out to be a great mistake. I highly recommend it to any chocolate lover, or to anyone who has a "special someone" who is a chocolate lover. | ||||||

| A really fun activity for anyone who enjoys chocolate - and who doesn't? I knew little about the process of growing, harvesting, drying, refining, and producing chocolate, so it was useful to get an overview from our guide. Coming from northern California, where we "grow" wine, I found striking similarities in how chocolate is assessed and judged - where and how it is grown, how it is treated during and after harvest, different ways to extract the flavor, how to blend it for shipment, and how to describe the various flavors when it is eaten. We were given this tour as a Christmas present. Our tour was the Saturday following Thanksgiving and, although our group was relatively small, making our way through the crowds from one shop to the next was a challenge. I would suggest picking a time when the crowds are smaller so you can interact with the other tour members and the guide while walking. The five shops we visited presented a good perspective on how chocolate can vary in flavor and presentation. Everything we ate was glorious, but we particularly enjoyed getting hot chocolate at two of the locations. We definitely are going to try to find a way to reproduce these drinks and serve them over the holidays. | ||||||
