A real highlight

| I wasn't sure what to expect on this tour but it turned out to be a real highlight of my trip. The tour guide was extremely knowledgable about chocolate, but also was down to earth and extremely personable. We visited 5 different chocolate shops over the span of about a 20 block walk (we walked at an extremely leisurely and reasonable pace though so the walk didn't seem bad at all). It was quite interesting learning about the different styles and techniques relating to the differing shops. My wife was ill and unfortunately couldn't make the tour but I was allowed to get her samples (to go) from each shop thanks to the wonderful guide. I can't recommend this tour enough. The next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be doing the other tour (by this company) in Soho. | ||||||

| My friends and I attended the NYC luxury chocolate tour on Dec. 22nd. Our tour guy Burt was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was evident that he enjoys what he does and was able to share that enthusiasm with us. He had some good recommendations and took us to some unique places. Loved Richart and Piere Marcolino. It was a pretty cold day but the walk was not bad at all, even with lots of tourists around. Great idea to recommend taking a bottle of water with you. I couldn't eat any more chocolate by the last stop but I did learn about new stores that I could refer friends to and which I would definitely visit again in the future. Definitely a tour for serious chocolate lovers only. | ||||||

| The tour was absolutely perfect, well worth the money. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable without being a chocolate snob. The different shops visited on the trip had the perfect amount of variety. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. | ||||||

Fantastic Christmas Treat to Ourselves

| We decided to do this as part of our Christmas Trip to NYC. What a fantastic tour. We felt like New Yorkers going to places they would only know about. I especially like Marie Belle Chocolates where you had to ring a bell to go upstairs, and the shop was decorated with French Provincial furniture. It was a delightful surprise. All the chocolate we tasted was delicous. | ||||||

I'm Doing This Again (and Again)

| As a long time tourist and one who often goes on tours in cities this one takes the cake and it is chocolate. I would caution you to eat some protein before this tour as the chocolate high starts early on this tour. By the second stop I was buzzing. All my friends want to go with me to NYC next time. Why? We can't resist the concept of a chocolate tour with a very knowledgable guide and goodies too delicious to describe. My only regret-I didn't buy a thing. I was way too busy enjoying myself. I will be back and I will be doing this again. Do I reommend this-Absolutely positively YES!!!!! | ||||||

Fabulous Time

| It was an excellent experience. Our tour guide Bert/Burt, was amazing! I had signed up for the tour with my girlfriend for her Birthday, and before the tour began I wrote a couple of notes regarding food allergies and our reason for the tour. Come the tour date, the first thing our guide did after greeting us was wish my girlfriend a warm happy birthday, which I thought was quality. He clearly knew everything there is to know about chocolate, and made the tour exciting, informative, and fun. These chocolate stores are delicious as well! Definitely unforgettable and to be revisited. Divalicious, Marie Belle, Vosges, Kee, and Jacques Torres are all unique in flavor as well as their personalities. It was a great time, and a very enjoyable 2 hr tour. | ||||||

| We had an awesome guide who was so informative and passionate about chocolate. The samples were awesome and generous. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to all my traveling friends! I got alot of great ideas on recipes and packaging as I have just started my own chocolate business in Sydney. Thanks, I had a fantastic time. | ||||||

| My friend and I had did this for our friend's birthday gifts and she loved it. Bert was great - informative and entertaining, and his enthusiasm spread to all the members of the group. Our only problem was with the last place we went, Debauve & Gallais. It seemed like the clerk working at the time was annoyed w/our presence in the store and he came off as kind of rude. And when other customers came in, he ran over to them to apologize for us being in the store, like we were ruining the place. It seems to me that if Debauve & Gallais is that unhappy w/tour customers being in their shop, they should take themselves off the itinerary. This unpleasantness didn't ruin our experience overall though - we would definitely recommend this tour to others who love chocolate as much as we do... Thanks again, Bert!! | ||||||

| I recently took this tour and was very happy with the whole experience! I've had some of the chocolate makers they take you to on the tour but had never been to visit them. It was interesting to see their facilities and chat with the chocolatiers. Our guide was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I must warn you though, this tour involves a LOT of chocolate, you gotta pace yourself, don't make the same mistake I did... | ||||||

| My mom and I took a chance on this excursion and had a fabulous time! I'd never heard of such a tour, but knew it was for us. Our guide was so fun and engaging and informative and relaxed- just a pleasure. I loved Maribelle's shop the best for being luxurious and having the best sipping chocolate. I liked the last place (?) because the other couple on our tour got engaged! It was very romantic and exciting. I would recommend this tour to out of towners looking to do something unorthodox, and also to local NYers looking for something new to do! A new way to see a familiar city. | ||||||

| Informative and enjoyable! I've been on chocolate tours before and learned new things on this one. The places we visited were a good range of different types of chocolatiers. | ||||||
