Full of tons of learning and fun

The Luxuury Tour was far more worthwhile and fun than I had expected! I took this tour since the other, seemingly more my style of tour, was full. Wrong!! Our tour guide, Burt, was an added bonus.... full of salient facts, bits of interesting history, and seriously interested in giving us a fun and educational time. The guy knows his chocolate! The route of the tour was fine for a walking tour, even though the day was hot and muggy. And the chocolatiers we visited were excellent examples of fine chocolate making, and were eager to help us buy their products and answer our silliest questions!! I'm a chocolate retailer, and I learned a ton from Burt. My only suggestion to Burt was to figure out a way for his customers to buy the chocolate and not have to carry it around during the tour on a hot and muggy day. Not an easy question to answer! I thought the price was a little steep until I realized I was eating more chocolate than should be legal for one day by one person!! And the education for someone seriously interested in learning about chocolate, was worth every penny. Now I can only hope the other tour is available on my next NYC visit!!

We enjoyed each and every minute of the tour. Our tour guide, Bert, was very enthusiastic and friendly. He not only knew about all of the chocolates and their history, he aslo provided us with in depth knowledge of the city. We would defiinitely take this tour again and will be recommending to all our friends! Jennifer and David N. Ireland

Our tour guide was extremely enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly. Though we only were able to see three stores instead of four due to the Labor day weekend, the tour was more than satisfactory. It has renewed my interested in chocolate and I would highly recommend this tour to others, foodies and non-foodies alike. Thanks for the great time!

The choice of chocolate shops was excellent, offering a real contrast of styles, decor, etc. The guide was fantastic--really knowledgeable and friendly. Have already recommended this tour to friends.

Chocolate, chocolate!!!

I found that the tour was a little too generic. Our guide was very informative on the different shops we went to, explaining the differences between each. However I feel that more demonstrations would have made the tour more interesting. Even if we saw the tempering process it would have been more than just eating chocolates. The other thing is we both found the time a little off. It would be more amenable to have the tour after the lunch hour.

we had an awesome tour with our guide burt. he was quite knowledgable and seemed very enthusiastic about his job. the whole time he intriqued us with wonderful insider facts about each place. (as if he were personal friends with each person) he was also a great person to talk to about basic new york hot spots and local places. we definitely recommend his tour to any chocolate lover that is in town! you are in for a treat! (literally) Thank you burt!!!!! :)

Our tour guide's name was Bert. He was very easy going, very familiar with his subject ( chocolate). Our group were all adults which was very nice. All in all a very nice NY moment. I would definitely recommend to others ( I already have).

Loved this tour more tradtional chocolates and was able to see the history. Bert our tour guide was wonderful. Enjoyed it so much that I booked the Soho NEw Cuisine chocolate tour the next day. Two very different types of flavor not to mention style. if you are serious about chocolate you should take this tour. Tina Martinez

Good
Sat, Aug 18, 07   12:00 PM pooja905 Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Individual
I really enjoyed the tour. We got to sample two pieces of chocolate-usually our choice-from the five different chocolate shops,so you didn't get a chocolate over dose. The shops were all very different from one another,like one was English,and another was French. Different combinations too. One place had a tomato and basil based chocolate,which was interesting. Good pace,each place gave a little talk of its founder,and we learnt a bit about what to look for in a good quality chocolate.

This was so much fun! Who knew there were so many chocolate shops within the same area? And our guide, Bert, was absolutely delightful- funny, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject which made the tour so much more. Thank you very much!
