A fun, unusual, and tasty experience

| As a resident of neighboring NJ, I enjoy seeking out different things to do in NYC. When I came across the chocolate tour, I knew right away that it was a must for this chocolate lover and I didn't have to do much convincing for two friends to join me. It did not disappoint. Tour guide Burt was knowledgeable about how and where chocolate is made, the history, and the differences among the many chocolatiers. He was genuinely enthusiastic and seemed to be enjoying himself just as much as we were. Despite being regular NYC visitors, we were unaware of some of the places we visited and enjoyed his description of the offerings at each shop so that we could make informed decisions about what to try. The tour company could enrich the experience further with some kind of handout with, say, a history of chocolate, what to look for in chocolate, and maybe even a chocolate-related souvenir. | ||||||

| REALLY enjoyed our tour guide, who gave us just enough background info and LOVED the wine and chocolate pairings!! I had both chocolates and wines that I probably would not have chosen on my own, but now have learned enough to be dangerous when I go out!!! GREAT time and worth it!!! | ||||||

| My two kids and I (11 & 15) went on the Luxury Chocolate tour lead by Burt. I expected it to be fun, but the tour exceeded those expectations. It was the "Burt Factor"! Burt was a delight, fun and pleasant but beyond that, he really knows chocolate - EVERYTHING about chocolate, and I thought I knew it all. He also was happy to answer so many other questions I had about visiting the city, and we followed his advice with great result. I will tell everyone that this tour is a MUST on their what to do in NYC list! | ||||||

| Both me and my mom are chocolate fanatics, and when coming upon this tour, we immediately signed up. Needless to say, the chocolates are absolutely out-of-this-world! Not only did we have a great time tasting the chocolates (with the tv crew filming us), our wonderful guide gave us a detailed history of chocolates, along with interesting facts that we never knew. High recommended! | ||||||

| Recently, on a very, very, hot Sunday afternoon, my husband and I arrived in Manhattan for a cruise departing the following day. We had never been to Soho so decided we would kill two birds with one stone by taking the Chocolate Tour there instead of uptown and seeing the Soho area. We arrived at the appointed meeting area and were met by Bert, our guide who informed us we were the only two taking the tour that day! Being true chocaholics, a little heat wave would never have stopped us! The tour was amazing, especially given the private tour we were getting! Bert is extremely knowledgeable and equally personable and entertaining! Being that we own a candy and confection shop, we never thought we would learn as much as we did. When we return to the city, we will definately take one of the other chocolate tours! | ||||||

Enjoyable afternoon with chocolate and wine

| Two 60 year olds, one 40 year old and an eight year old. The tour leader was very nice and gave us many chocolate facts. Our grandson tried everything and was given extra chocolate instead of the wine. We visited five places, including a chocoate factory where we ate a number of chocolates and had each one explained. We all had a fun afternoon and didn't need dinner, except for our grandson who ate some pizza and wanted chicken soup after the pizza and chocolate! | ||||||

Unexpected Highlight

| We booked this tour rather last minute after reading some excellent reviews from the Guardian and online. Burt was our affable host who took us round 5 beautiful chocolate shops, each with their own distinct style and tastes! He was highly articulate and knowledgable on the subject of chocolate and both of us (my boyfriend and I) felt we learnt a lot from him! One of the main highlights for us was talking to a real local who knew the areas around town to recommend, what to look out for and sights/sounds not to be missed. Burt clearly had a good relationship with the chocolate shop staff as they all greated him like long lost friends and made us all feel very welcome. Thank you for providing this tour and we would recommend it to anyone going to New York! (P.S. you should set one up in London...) | ||||||

| This tour was interesting - not only for locating fine chocolate shops that I would not have found on my own, but for the knowledgable guide. Bert was very friendly, interesting and informative. I was unaware of the number of different things one should know about fine chocolates. I would suggest making sure to eat something or have a starch filled snack with you since the infusion of chocolate sort of makes you "high". I enjoyed this tour and am planning to do another walking tour with Bert when we return to NY in the fall. | ||||||

| Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It was a fabulous experience, we gladly recommend it to erveyone who loves chocolate! We tasted delicious and original pieces of chocolate. If, by chance, your guide brings you to Charbonnel & Walker, please try the "pink ball" (Stawberry and Champagne truffle). Also, we REALLY appreciate our guide, Bert. It was totally a great experience! | ||||||

| I found the activity fun and informative. Bert was a great guide you could really feel the enthusiasm he had and made everyone feel very welcome and wanted us all to have a great time. The group was the right size to be able to chat and get to know fellow visitors between shops, we kept moving but did not feel rushed.Great fun! | ||||||

| My sister and I took the luxury chocolate tour yesterday, on a weekend getaway in the city. It was FANTASTIC! Our tour guide, Bert, was knowledgeable, friendly, and very flexible. He gave us detail about each of the shops we visited, and answered all of the group's questions. He enjoys giving the tour, and it's obvious to the participants - he enjoys what he does, and he's good at it! I know a lot about chocolate already, but I learned some things that I didn't know from Bert. He was very patient whenever anyone wanted to browse or purchase, but he kept the tour moving along so no one got bored. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys eating quality chocolate, whether you live in the city or are just visiting. I plan on not only trying the other Zerve tours, but taking this one again sometime!! | ||||||

| I took my husband on this tour for Father's Day--he is a hopeless chocoholic--and we had a great time. We were lucky to have a very small group on our tour, although I'm sure it would be fun even with a larger crowd. Bert, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable, and funny and led us on a pilgrimage to five outstanding, upscale chocolate shops, explaining the basics and nuances of chocolate history and the art of it's production. I would recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike--my husband has been raving about it to our friends and family. A very successful Father's Day gift! | ||||||
