Well worth the drive!
Sat, Mar 14  12:00 PM mitsukai424 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We drove 4 hours to NY to take this tour - as a surprise for my husband. Our guide was waiting for us at the designated spot and once the entire tour had arrived (15 people) we started out. For a walking tour, the furthest we had to walk from one store to the next was about 7 short blocks, so no one got overly tired. The guide scheduled bathroom stops, and gave us enough time at each location so that we didn't feel rushed. We went to five gourmet chocolate shops where we were able to choose two pieces of chocolate from their entire collection while the guide gave us a little history of the shop and the chocolate making process. There was also plenty of time to buy more chocolates if you wanted (the prices were not outrageous - but they were in line with the fine product). At the end of the tour my husband and I decided to have lunch and our guide was kind enough to point out nearby locations. All in all it was a fun and decadent tour. At first, 10 samples doesn't seem like much, but we were definitely chocolated out by the end and even saved a few for the next day. We look forward to taking more tours with this company and even handed out the brochures the guide gave us to shoppers we met in Bloomingdales who overheard us talking about how much fun we had.

A friend and I went on this tour when we were visiting from the DC area. We had a great time! Not only was the chocolate fabulous, but the tour was very informational and Burt is fantastic! At first, I was a little hesitant due to the price, but it was a great value for what we had. Each shop had 2 - 3 things for us to try and they were all very welcoming. There was no pressure at any time - to buy, to hurry up, to not ask questions, etc. It was all very relaxed. My friend and I plan on doing the two other chocolate tours now that we've been through this one.

What a delicious way to spend a Friday afternoon
Fri, Mar 6  3:30 PM SAYEGH Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
My friend and I played hooky from work to do this. Neither one of us can be described as a "chocoholic", but it looked very interesting and different, so what the heck? Bert was an excellent host, very informative and friendly, as well as down to earth and attentive. Every place we went to was lovely. City Bakery was an okay stop, I understand it was to rest and chill out, but it was a bit icky upstairs. Delish cookie and hot chocolate though.I would have rather spent more time at Ayza...Wow that place is terrific!! I will say I found the most interesting stop to be Vere. Not only was the chocolate scrumptious, but the ladies there so wonderful and accomdating and knowledgeable. I have already recommended Vere to several people in my office, and a couple of co workers and I are going to go to Ayza next week. Really, a terrific tour and a terrific host!

Chocolate Lovers dream

Wow! Before leaving on the tour I said it would be impossible for me to have too much chocolate. I ate all my samples, and had my fill of chocolate when the tour ended. We had Bert as our tour guide, and he was terrific. I will definately take a tour again.

This was our second tour and we had just as much fun as our first. What could be better than tasting deliciously different chocolates on a beautiful day while strolling through the NYC? In addition, Bert our guide was not only knowledgeable about the ins and outs of chocolate but also knows his fair share about the neighborhoods we walk through. I would recommend this to anyone who is a little adventurous but mostly just wants to have fun and taste some really good chocolate.

Loved the small chocolate boutiques
Sat, Feb 14  4:00 PM bigfred Male 30-39 Combination Couple on a Date
We loved the tour because most of the stores were small chocolate boutiques that we probably would not have found out about unless someone told us about them. We especially loved the chocolate cheesecake at Eileen's Special Cheesecakes. We enjoyed learning about the history of the stores and chocolate in general. The only bad parts were at the beginning when another tour came through the same store at the same time ours started and it made for tight quarters. I also think we probably could have gotten a couple more pieces of chocolate at each store, and maybe cut out the first store to make our time spent at each store longer.

This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide is great. Not only does he know a lot about chocolate, but also the area. He is friendly and fun. The tour itself consists of going to several different chocolate shops and picking chocolates to try. The guide knows all the different kinds of offered. There are some very adventurous types of chocolates to try, and you get to try ALOT!! I enjoyed this tour so much that I will be taking the other one soon.

Well worth the time and money!

We visit New York about twice a year to take in the shows and we are always looking for interesting things to do during the day. We came across the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour doing some web surfing of things to do in NY and we thought we'd give it a try. What a treat! Our tour guide, Bert, was knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with. We learned about the origins of chocolate, how and why chocolates differ and what makes some chocolates better than others. Bert’s recommendations at each stop were thoughtful and balanced—he often described what he or others both like and don’t like about some flavors, and he encouraged us to try something we may not otherwise try. We enjoyed discussing the chocolates with him and describing why we did and did not like some of the things we tried. Even though it was a very cold day to be walking about, we enjoyed spending our time on the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour and we would definitely recommend it to locals and tourists alike!

I took my mom on this tour since she is a chocolate lover. We both had a wonderful time and tasted the most delicious and unusual chocolates. Our guide was so informative and personable. It was a lovely tour and I would highly recommend it to not only tourists, but also for locals looking for something different to do in the city.

Our guide was knowledgeable but not snobby. He was friendly and knew everyone who worked at the places we went to. When we walked to each place, he made an effort to talk to everyone on the group to make us feel comfortable. He really made the tour fantastic. He was honest and and wonderful. The chocolate is amazing and it was great to eat something so decadent ALL DAY LONG!!! I will take this tour again!

We had the great Bert as our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about chocolate and the chocolatiers that we visited. It was refreshing that he provided his opinion but stressed that everyone has their own likes and dislikes and we should try whatever tastes good to us. I highly recommend this tour and will be bringing another group of friends back to do it again!
