Fabulous!

The chocolate walking tour of SOHO was wonderful! Our tour guide is a graduate of the CIA and was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He had everything planned out in advance including calling ahead to each shop we visited to make sure they reserved samples of the specific chocolates he wanted us to experience. We tasted chocolate combinations we didn't know existed. I highly recommend this tour.

If you are a true chocolate lover you will absolutely love this tour-It treats you to gourmet chocolates from various countries and gives you the opportunity to taste the fine quality of the products. The shop keepers were very pleasant and every shop offers you a generous sample beautifully presented. The walk is just enough to burn some calories from the tastings and make room for the next. Bring a bottle of water and you are good to go!

A girlfriend and I had booked two spots on a group tour. We got a telephone call and e-mail the morning of a tour letting us know that our tour had been cancelled. The company was very apologetic and instead gave us a private tour the next day which was our only free day in New York City. LOVED the tour.

Well-Planned, Enjoyable Tour!

My mom and I really enjoyed the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour! The tour was extremely well planned in terms of the route, pace and schedule. Early in the tour we walked by a food cart where we were able to buy a bottle of water for $1 (a bargain in NYC as compared to $5 at our hotel), and later in the tour, at the 3rd and 5th chocolate shops, there were rest breaks where we were able to sit down, rest our feet and enjoy our chocolate. Our tour guide Brooke was very knowledgeable, considerate and a pleasure to talk with. In each chocolate shop, we received at least two samples and all were scrumptious! Overall, I'd recommend this tour to other chocolate lovers visiting NYC.

Excellent and informative tour

My friend (a local) and I went on this tour probably on one of the hottest days of the year, but I'm so glad we did! It wasn't THAT much walking, and we never would have found these places on our own. My friend the local only knew about one of them. The samples were very generous (2 at each stop) and at a few of the stops, they snuck in one of their specialties as well, so you were pretty well chocolated out by the time you finished. I really learned a lot about chocolate, and it's already made me a much more informed consumer. I am finding myself seeking out the small, artisan chocolate places rather than going with the familiar and inferior. I've already recommended the tour to others, and am looking for a similar tour in my town (for future visitors). So glad I found this! I'll definitely be doing one of the other two tours next time I'm in town.

Poor Guide
Sat, Jul 2, 11   12:00 PM melodymelvin Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour guide was not knowledgeable about chocolate or New York City. She clearly lead us the wrong way after the meeting place and then said we were taking the scenic route as we walked past the store on the opposite side of the street. She was brief in her descriptions of the chocolates and there should have been opportunity to buy something at each store. Only in one store did an employee speak up and gave a detailed description about their chocolates, which was very welcomed. She did not mention of any of the NYC landmarks we were walking past, which would of added to the overall cohesiveness of the tour. At the bare minimum she should have said something like, "onthe way to the next shop we will walk past Grand Central Station." I realize that this was her first month, but she needs to be prepared with more information on her subject and her surroundings.

Great tour - but...

The tour itself was wonderful! We did it as part of a bachelorette party - the bride was thrilled! The tour guide, while knowledgeable, made it clear she held tourists in low regards. Comments such as her preference for New Yorkers as she "did not have to worry about them crossing the street and getting lost while staring at buildings" is rather insulting to a group of well educated women that, while from "the middle" as our guide rather dismissively stated, have demonstrated the capability of crossing streets successfully for nearly 30 years. While none in my group appreciated the attitude we got, the tour is still worth putting up with the snarky comments and self aggrandizement. Just have some thick skin and do what we did - have a good laugh over the stereotypical New York attitude (the only time we experienced it, so an unfair stereotype in my book!). We now refer to ourselves as being from "the middle"!
