We did this to celebrate my husband's birthday and we could not have had a better time! We will definitely be trying some of the other tours offered. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much!

This was such a fun way to spend a day in New York! We enjoyed learning about the wide world of chocolate in such personal way. Our tour guide was very knowlegdeable, personable, and fun. As we walked from store to store he also gave us other great information about the city. We would do a food tour again!!! We highly recommend this tour and we can't wait to do more on our next trip!
Great tour! The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour

It was so much fun - I really recommend the tour to any chocolate addict! Two pieces per store may seem too few at first but the chocolate you taste is so rich that it is just the right amount. The tour guide was great: knowledgeable, fun, enthousiastic and very passionate about chocolate! Thanks for the lovely afternoon!
Simply marvelous in every way! Highly Recommended. The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour

Our group was two adults and two teenagers from the US along with a teenage visitor from Korea. We all loved our guide Burt and the tour. We visited places we wouldn't have known to visit and tried things we wouldn't have known to try. It was fun to learn the stories of how each shop can to be, the philosophy of the owners and how that is reflected in the selection. A great day was had by all. We highly recommend this tour!
Great time! The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour

I loved the tour, we got to taste a lot more chocolate than I anticipated, all you can eat at the first one. It was a good distance and the tour guide, Bert, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. The only drawbacks were there wasn't enough tasting samples at the chocolate studio and one of the pastry shops...one piece seemed like kind of a rip off. Also, we didn't drink much wine, only two glasses...so maybe I'd do just the regular chocolate tours. All in all though, I loved it and my mother throughly enjoyed it. It was Mother's Day gift for her. However, when I told her the price she seemed to think it wasn't worth the money...so I don't know. I loved it though, so two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Great Tour Despite the Rain The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour

The tour was wonderful, even in the rain! Loved the pairing of wine and chocolate. This is the second tour I've been on with this company. Both times we had Bert as our tour guide. He is excellent. He offers wonderful tidbits about the city between stops. Would highly recommend this one & the luxury chocolate tour. Can't wait to do the New Cuisine tour too.
Sweet delight The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour
Sat, May 10, 08 4:00 PM	JoyceDubin	Female	50-59	Local	Group of Friends
We enjoyed this tour. Plenty of sweet treats for our tastes. I feel the price could be a little on the high side, would have preferred to tip the guide more rather than paid as much for the tickets. Would definitely consider the uptown tour for the future.

Tour guide made the day! The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour
Fri, May 9, 08 3:30 PM	pohnmacht	Female	50-59	Local	Family With Children
The gentleman we had guiding us was fan-dan-tastic! I can't say enough good things about him. It was a miserable, rainy day, but we couldn't have had a better time. He shared insights about the city of my birth that I had never known, and was incredibly knowlegeable about chocolate. It was a delightful afternoon! Thanks!
Fun, Informative, and Simply Delicious! The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour
Sun, May 4, 08 12:30 PM	ashleyn2001	Female	20-29	Local	Family Without Children
What a great tour! I highly recommend this activity to any chocolate lover. Our tour guide was extrememly informative about the chocolate-making process, and the shops were welcoming, friendly, and beautiful! The samples were unbelievably delicious and the tour guide was very descriptive about the various tastes and how the chocolatiers achieved the specific chocolate. A very fun, well-spent 2 hours in Manhattan's SoHo!
Great afternoon tour!! The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour

I purchased the tour as a birthday gift for my chocolate loving husband. He's a big fan of the Hershey's kind of chocolate, so I wasn't sure if he was going to like this tour, because it is a higher end kind of chocolate. Well, I shouldn't have worried. He absolutely loved the tour! Our tour guide was Bert, and he really knew his dark chocolate from his milk chocolate. Our group was 3 groups. We were on time, and the other two were a bit tardy. Bert was great calling them to give them updates, so that they could join the tour when we had moved to the next store. Luckily, they got there before we left. The descriptions of the chocolate were spot on, and Bert had very nice recommendations for us. We visited five shops, and had plenty of time for purchases after tasting. If you think you won't get enough chocolate, think again. We got to choose 2 pieces in each shop, and we also got a couple of chocolate drinks, besides. My husband at all of his on the spot, but I had half of mine wrapped to go. If you do that, be careful they don't get crushed in your bag. They are incredibly delicious, but very fragile! My husband is always ready to eat anything chocolate. However, by the end of the day, he said that for the first time in his life, he had eaten enough chocolate for the next two weeks!!! That was a successful tour in my eyes. This was to be a day of chocolate, so we went over to Max Brenner's for an early dinner. Needless to say, we weren't really very hungry. But, Max Brenner's was very disappointing. The food wasn't hot, the food just wasn't very tasty or well prepared, service stunk, and we were very disappointed with them. We should have gone somewhere else to eat, and much later in the day. We didn't have time to visit the M&M's store in Times Square, but it's on our list for next time. So, if you want to have the ultimate chocolate experience, take this tour. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Great thing to do in New York City! The NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour

This tour was a lot of fun. Lots of amazing chocolate, a great group ambiance and some nice strolling along Fifth Avenue and the Upper East Side. Each shop had incredible chocolate, and it was great to learn about the different techniques and styles for making good chocolate. Overall a great, fun, original thing to do in the city. Can't wait to go back and try their other tours!
Decadent, Delicious, and Delightful! The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour
Fri, May 2, 08 3:30 PM	tfosdal	Female	Unspecified	Local	Group of Friends
Overall a well coordinated tour by our guide Burt - who was charming, informative, and very apologetic when Zerve gave us the incorrect location to meet. (Mistakes happen but more should have been done to correct the mistake - for example calling the cell phone numbers customers provided.) The tour provided a balance of excellent chocolate to taste, paired with a good wine, and interesting businesses to visit. I particularly liked the bit of neighbood history Bert provided while strolling some lovely East Side streets. All and all a lovely afternoon.
Fun eating/drinking tour The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour
Fri, May 2, 08 3:30 PM	DonnaBenny	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
The chocolate, wine and pastry tour was very enjoyable in part due to our wonderful guide, Bert. The shops we visited were very interesting and the chocolate was beautiful to look at. However, I am a basic type of chocolate person and there was little to tempt me, but what I did taste was very good. The pastries were great as was the wine. I cannot stress, however, that this tour is a lot of walking - blocks and blocks and blocks of walking. I know the information said there is walking and wear comfortable shoes, but it was more than I anticipated. I was just glad our day was somewhat of a cool one. The stop at the organic chocolate factory was very interesting as was the owner who graciously told us whatever we wanted to know about how she made her chocolate. I would recommend this to persons who are chocoholics. My friend who went with me is a chocoholic and loved all of it!
Mix-up with meeting spot. The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour
Fri, May 2, 08 3:30 PM	kimberleyn	Female	40-49	Local	Family Without Children
The tour was A LOT of walking! Unfortunately we had to do more walking than normal because we were given the incorrect meeting location so we had to walk several blocks to meet our tour guide before the tour even started. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgable. The third stop was my least favorite. I didn't think the chocolate chip cookie was very impressive and the hot chocolate was like thick pudding. We enjoyed all of the other stops.
