Had a wonderful chocolate experience

Our guide was informative and enjoyable. Our tour was just the right amount of shops with info/history about each. I plan to recommend this tour and company to others. I plan to do other tours that are offered by this company. Thank you for an afternoon of the most delicious treats.

Great fun and lots of chocolate
Sat, Oct 27, 07   3:30 PM KathyHoward Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Burt (the tour guide) was casual, informative and fun. The walk took us through Soho at a leisurely pace to 5 very different shops. Quite a variety of chocolates and shop styles. Try the white chocolates (esp pistachio) at Kim Lee's shop, they were the best samples on the tour (even if you don't normally like white chocolate-trust me). A great way to spend the afternoon, and just as good as the Uptown tour according to Burt.

The tour was really well conducted and gave a lot of interesting information. It was a little tough as 12 noon is early to be eating such rich chocolate! I believe the chocolate lovers really enjoyed the samples; I enjoyed seeing the locations, especially since I was unaware of most. Mariebelle was most charming.

Worth the $70

Bert was quite knowledgable and fun to spend the afternoon with. I was part of a group of 6 ladies that had travelled from Ontario, Canada for a week in New York and this was definitely worth putting on our list to do. You get two chocolates in each shop plus hot chocolate samples in a couple of the shops. They were all delicious. If you are wanting to try the iced hot chocolate you have to do the tour before October, so instead I bought some to bring home and make myself. I would recommend this tour to everyone it was fun and informative.

Is very worth while participating in this tour. Bert was the tour guide and was very outgoing, pleasant and interacted with each person on the tour. Very glad that we added this to our list of events during our time in NYC. While we were on the tour...people on the street who overheard the commentary were asking how they could sign up & participate. Definately worth your time.

Marvelous Guide, Glorious Chocolate
Sat, Oct 13, 07   3:30 PM duffer Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
An energetic personable guide briefed our group of thirteen on the afternoons planned excursion. Five shoppes were chosen to visit. The chocolate shop stops included vinettes on chocolates lore, production and qualities. Each shop had something unique to offer, including of course two difficult to choose chocolates! We were also treated to chocolate specialty drinks at two of the shoppes. A lovely treat was meeting some of the shoppe owners. They were charming, informative and passionate about their work. Uniquely different is the only way to describe the ambiance and decor of each shoppe. The walks were short with available stops for water purchase and respite. Our afternoon was enhanced by our guide, Burt, who was genuine, honest, and had planned the time well.

Chocolate is a Fruit

What a fabulous and tasty tour! I have already recommended it to many people, not only for the tastings but also for the information given to us by a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. And in planning my future days in NYC, I'll be sure to make a stop at any one of the wonderful chocolate shops we visited!

Delicious!

We enjoyed visiting the specialty chocolate shops (we probably would not have gone to otherwise). Burt, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating.. Although Burt made suggestions at each shop, the choice of 2 selections was our own. That was my favorite part of the tour - each person was able to choose their own favorite flavors instead of being forced to sample another person's choices.

We loved it!
Sun, Oct 7, 07   12:00 PM lindakemp Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
There were eight of that did the tour together and we all totally enjoyed ourselves. The chocolates were wonderful and we certainly had enough to taste. There was enough time given to wander around the stores and purchase anything that you might want. Our tour guide was excellent and answered our questions and gave us lots of information regarding chocolates. Our tour guide also mentioned that you are thinking of doing a wine and dessert tour which is something that we all thought would be fun to do too. The only problem that we encountered was that the meeting place was not correct on our papers. All 15 people that went on the tour had the wrong information. In the future it would be better to make sure that the proper meeting place in correct. Thank you very much. We enjoyed it totally.

Our tour guide (Bert) was very informative regarding the different types of chocolate, where they were from and was happy to make suggestions. The choices for tasting sights was well rounded and gave a wide selection of different types of chocolate to try. My group enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it for anyone like us, who Loves Chocolate.

First of all I loved Burt, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. The chocolate stores were amazing. You would think when you walked in these stores, they would be very snooty, but it was just the opposite. They were extremely nice and helpful. ( you could tell they also enjoyed being around Burt). It was a nice walk, but you could take as long as you needed. I highly recommend this tour. I would go again.

bert combines history and fun facts with all the charm and consideration you would expect from a southern gentleman. our tour never stinted on time in a shop, we had all the time we wanted to spend at each stop . each stop was educational and fun and i will never look at milk chocolate in the same way. i can actually taste the nuances! would i do it again? you bet i would!

Educational, tasty, fun!

Our tour guide was extremely enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly. Though we only were able to see three stores instead of four due to the Labor day weekend, the tour was more than satisfactory. It has renewed my interested in chocolate and I would highly recommend this tour to others, foodies and non-foodies alike. Thanks for the great time!
