NYC Highlight

My husband and I absolutely loved our Choco Tour in Soho. It was truly one of the highlights of our NYC vacation. The chocolate was great and I doubt we'll ever eat Hersheys again. We keep fantacizing about Kee's creme brule` truffles. The best part of the tour was Bert. He is such a warm, personable and knowledgeable guide. It was one of the most pleasant afternoons we've spent in a long time.

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Burt, was as much a treat as the chocolate. He was a wealth of interesting information regarding everything chocolate and then some. The chocolate shops were varied and, of course, delicious. This was a birthday present for my grown daughter but even my 5 year old granddaughter enjoyed it. (We did bring a stroller for her.) Definitely worth it!

we were very happy with our experience and will definitely try one of the other tours as a result of our positive thoughts on this one. the chocolates were amazing and the tour guide truly helped guide us in our chocolate making decisions. he also was intimately aware of the history associated with each shop. we had a fun time and learned alot during the day...

A taste of 5 excelent chocolate boutiques in NYC
Fri, Sep 7, 07   12:00 PM steve38 Female 60-69 Local Individual
My husband Steve signed me up for this grand chocolate tour of the finest shops in Manhatten as an anniversary gift. I met our tour guide Bert in front of Sachs 5th Ave at noon on a lovely September day. There were only 4 other people on the tour so I got to chat and get to know everyone as our well informed and friendly tour guide took us to the best chocolate shops in town. At each store we were given 2 samples of chocolate. The best I've ever had. The tour was 2and a half hours long and each store was a short walk along some of the lovliest streets in Manhatten. There even was time for a restroom stop. All in all I had a great time and I recommend it highly. Christine Greene

Chocolate/walking tour
Fri, Sep 7, 07   12:00 PM RitaFineberg Female 60-69 Combination Other
The tour was led by Burt , who was very helpful and knowledgable about chocolate. The two pieces at each location were very small - as good chocolate should be - but the price of the tour for two little pieces at five locations seemed to be costly. At a couple of places, samples in addition to our two allotted pieces were passed around. The day was hot and humid and I couldn't make it to the fifth and final and most expensive chocolate shop. Later in the afternoon, Burt called and said he had my chocolate with him and would bring it to me if I happened to be anywhere around the area. All in all, I thought it was fun. I really am a chocoholic but I didn't buy any chocolate because it would have melted in the heat. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. We had a group of five and that was a nice-sized group.

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!

Chocolate, chocolate!!!
Sat, Sep 1, 07   12:00 PM costello Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Other
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!!!!! :)
