best choco confections i've ever tasted.
Thu, Feb 14, 08   12:30 PM dtliem Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I highly recommend this tour. For the price, I had high expectations of the tour, and it by far exceeded them. The tastings were fantastic, everything from balsamic vinegar chocolates, to curry choco. It was a unique perspective of chocolate confections that I've never even heard of, nor expected to taste so great. Even after the tour, I ended up going back to a few of my favorite spots on the tour, and I'm sure i'll be back to each one on my tours back. Bert, our tour guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had a tour group of 6, which was a great size and great people. They definitely helped with the experience. was explaining this tour to a friend, and my friend asked me, if I could just tell her all the places we visited, and she'd just go there herself, without a tour. But, I told her, the tour experience with Bert was well worth the cost, and I would assume that any other tour guides would be of the same caliber. I've heard that groups can get as large as 13 people. Not sure if I can say the experience was any better with less people. I i definitely enjoyed the intimacy of our small group.

Great Tour
Fri, Feb 8, 08   3:30 PM karenkennedy Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Great tour, very informative, learned a lot about the history of chocolate, where it is grown, how it evolved. Especially loved the tastings and pairing the chocolate with wine as well as the variety of types of chocolate and other pastries. We have recommended this tour to several of our friends who would like to take the same tour when next they are in New York.

Tour Guide ROCKS!

I enjoyed the chocolate tour. The chocolate is amazing and the stores are adorable. However, the tour guide is amazing. I would take any tour that he gives. He is personably, charming, and hilarious. I recommend this tour HIGHLY!

Good food and knowledgeable guide
Fri, Jan 4, 08   12:00 PM CindyBao Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I booked this tour but being the only person signed up, it was canceled (the tour requires a minimum of 2 ppl to run). However, I was offered the Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour, which was excellent. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made the whole thing fun. The choice of ventures was good as well. I especially enjoyed the second shop.

Fantastic Tour
Sat, Dec 29, 07   12:00 PM llreilly Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I got tickets to this tour for my Dad for Christmas, knowing how much he loves and appreciates chocolate I thought this would be the perfect gift. It was. The tour guide, Bert, was both a delight to be around and remarkably knowledgable about chocolate and the histories of each of the locations we visited. There was great variety between the 5 chocolatiers we visited and they all had delicious chocolate. This would be a wonderful tour for anyone who enjoys chocolate!

A real highlight
Fri, Dec 28, 07   12:00 PM kingpgmr Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
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.

Exposed to a new world
Sat, Dec 22, 07   12:00 PM maissoon Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Fantastic Christmas Treat to Ourselves
Fri, Dec 21, 07   12:00 PM EHardwick Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
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)
Thu, Dec 20, 07   12:30 PM gennyevans Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
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!!!!!

Couldn't have been better

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.

My adult daughter, a resident of NYC and I found this very enjoyable and informative. We are now aware of new locations to visit. We enjoyed the guide.

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.
