Great fun and lots of chocolate

Burt (the tour guide) was casual, informative and fun. The walk took us through Soho at a leisurely pace to 5 very different shops. Quite a variety of chocolates and shop styles. Try the white chocolates (esp pistachio) at Kim Lee's shop, they were the best samples on the tour (even if you don't normally like white chocolate-trust me). A great way to spend the afternoon, and just as good as the Uptown tour according to Burt.

Our guide, Burt, was great. Very informative, fun, good sense of humor, and did a great job with keeping us on time and still allowing everyone a chance to wander around and shop. I highly recommend this tour.

What a fun day! The weather was soggy but no one seemed to mind. The luscious chocolates put us in a great mood. Bert ,our guide, was wonderful. He kept us informed each step of the way. Would love the address of his online cooking show. Great way to OD on Chocolate! I'm telling everyone!!!

The tour was really well conducted and gave a lot of interesting information. It was a little tough as 12 noon is early to be eating such rich chocolate! I believe the chocolate lovers really enjoyed the samples; I enjoyed seeing the locations, especially since I was unaware of most. Mariebelle was most charming.

Disappointed
Fri, Oct 19, 07   12:00 PM Suefinch Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
The guide was excellent!! The tour average. It is expensive and the chocolates sampled are good but not the worlds best in my opinion!! It's only my opinion after all. Did not feel well received in some of the stores which is unfortunate as I paid for the priviledge of visiting their store.

A chocoholics Heaven
Sun, Oct 14, 07   12:00 PM AmyM2006 Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
What a lovely tour this was! We got to explore parts of New York not often on the visitor's plan, mainly the part between Little Italy and Soho, and learn some of the history and technique of chocolate making, all the while sampling some of finest (if not the finest) chocolates of New York. We loved the fact that all 5 of the shops were so different from each other, and in the smaller shops got to meet the owners as well. There were so many options of flavors to choose from. I would recommend bringing a small refrigerated bag with you if you go in hot weather, as you may want to bring some fo teh samples home for later tasting, and you certainly may wish to buy from the shops as you go...but either way, bring your appetite for chocolate as there will be more than enough of that for the day! By the way, our guide was bert, and he was absolutely delightful.

Worth the $70
Sat, Oct 13, 07   3:30 PM ladies_in_ny Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Bert was quite knowledgable and fun to spend the afternoon with. I was part of a group of 6 ladies that had travelled from Ontario, Canada for a week in New York and this was definitely worth putting on our list to do. You get two chocolates in each shop plus hot chocolate samples in a couple of the shops. They were all delicious. If you are wanting to try the iced hot chocolate you have to do the tour before October, so instead I bought some to bring home and make myself. I would recommend this tour to everyone it was fun and informative.

Is very worth while participating in this tour. Bert was the tour guide and was very outgoing, pleasant and interacted with each person on the tour. Very glad that we added this to our list of events during our time in NYC. While we were on the tour...people on the street who overheard the commentary were asking how they could sign up & participate. Definately worth your time.

Marvelous Guide, Glorious Chocolate
Sat, Oct 13, 07   3:30 PM duffer Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
An energetic personable guide briefed our group of thirteen on the afternoons planned excursion. Five shoppes were chosen to visit. The chocolate shop stops included vinettes on chocolates lore, production and qualities. Each shop had something unique to offer, including of course two difficult to choose chocolates! We were also treated to chocolate specialty drinks at two of the shoppes. A lovely treat was meeting some of the shoppe owners. They were charming, informative and passionate about their work. Uniquely different is the only way to describe the ambiance and decor of each shoppe. The walks were short with available stops for water purchase and respite. Our afternoon was enhanced by our guide, Burt, who was genuine, honest, and had planned the time well.

Burt is an exceptional, enthusiastic, funny and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. He is intent on making the tour fun for everyone. He greets everyone warmly and treats people with the utmost respect. He has a great rapport with all the chocolate vendors who greet everyone on the tour enthusiastically and provide the best service, no matter how busy the shop is. I highly recommend the tour. It was definitely a five star experience.
