Lots of fun and yummy
Sun, Oct 7, 07   12:00 PM Epstein Female 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
This was a birthday surprise from my husband who is well aware that I am a serious chocoholic. It was a perfect way to celebrate, with a little exercise in between the tastings. Although we know quite a bit about good chocolate, we learned more and truly enjoyed all the tastings. I would recommend this tour for anyone who loves chocolate and/or interesting sweets. The length was just right, and the variety of shops we visited provided an insight into a section of Manhattan that we usually do not frequent.

We loved it!
Sun, Oct 7, 07   12:00 PM lindakemp Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
There were eight of that did the tour together and we all totally enjoyed ourselves. The chocolates were wonderful and we certainly had enough to taste. There was enough time given to wander around the stores and purchase anything that you might want. Our tour guide was excellent and answered our questions and gave us lots of information regarding chocolates. Our tour guide also mentioned that you are thinking of doing a wine and dessert tour which is something that we all thought would be fun to do too. The only problem that we encountered was that the meeting place was not correct on our papers. All 15 people that went on the tour had the wrong information. In the future it would be better to make sure that the proper meeting place in correct. Thank you very much. We enjoyed it totally.

so delicious.........

I went to the Luxury Tour and the New Cuisine Tour. Yes I am a choco-olic. They were different and both de-li-cious. We where lucky to have Bert as our guide for both of them. He is passionate, funny and he knows chocolate very well. We already know how chocolate was discovered , so he concentrated on what it tastes and the sensation it procures. What a pleasant way to discover New-York. We learn a lot, even if we have great "cholatiers" in Montreal.

Great Time!

My sister and I took the tour together. We found our guide, Bert, to be extremely knowledgeable about the chocolates and the places we visited. He was also very personable and enthusiastic. You could tell he loved what he was doing. The owners of the shops we stopped at were also very friendly. The chocolate samples (and we could make our own choices) were delicious. The next time we are in the City, we intend on taking one of their other tours.

Great for Chocoholics
Sat, Oct 6, 07   3:30 PM aeallen78 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This is such a fun way to spend an afternoon in Soho. We went to little known stores and trendy spots, too. Each chocolate recommendation was perfect and we ate so much that we had to take some samples home for later. We really appreciated learning how to truly taste chocolate! Our guide was entertaining and made everyone feel comfortable. What a great time!

Excellent - Fun - Informative
Sat, Oct 6, 07   12:00 PM kmallozzi Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Our tour guide (Bert) was very informative regarding the different types of chocolate, where they were from and was happy to make suggestions. The choices for tasting sights was well rounded and gave a wide selection of different types of chocolate to try. My group enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it for anyone like us, who Loves Chocolate.

Excellent way to spend an afternoon
Sat, Oct 6, 07   12:00 PM lisa46xx Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I just took this tour as part of a 10th wedding anniversary weekend in NYC. It was so much fun. Burt, the tour guide, could not have been nicer or more accomodating, the chocolate shops were welcoming, and the chocolates were divine!! At one stop, the chocolates were chosen for us; we were able to choose our own pieces to taste at the other four. A very fun way to spend an afternoon, and a must do for any chocolate lover (and who isn't?).

Great Chocolate Tour
Fri, Oct 5, 07   12:00 PM Lustgarten Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and personable. The vendors we visited were hospitable and the chocolate was delicious. After tasting really good chocolate everything else pales by comparison. There was a lot of walking, especially to the last vendor, which I chose not to go to because I use a cane. The weather was unseasonably hot and humid making the walking more difficult for me. I have already recommended the tour to my friends and family.

Did not enjoy companions in group
Fri, Oct 5, 07   12:00 PM mcclenahan Female 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This was not exactly what I had in mind. My fault ... the leader was excellent, enthusiastic, and can be recommended to anyone. My husband and I did not feel compatible with the group .... perhaps another day we would have enjoyed it more.

If you love chocolate, this tour is for you!
Sun, Sep 30, 07   12:00 PM MK2996 Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
I am a chocolate addict and was so excited to learn about the Chocolate tour! While planning a day in the city for my mom's birthday, I decided out first stop had to be the tour. The chocolate that we sampled was absolutley delicious. It's a great opportunity to be adventurous or stick with what you know you will like. I'm usually not adventurous when selecting chocolate, however Burt, our tour guide, selected a truffle sprinkled with curry for us to taste. Although I was skeptical, I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. The walking isn't extensive, but by the time you arrive at your next destination you are ready for the next bite. There were 4 women in our group and all were 100% satisfied!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys chocolate!!! And here's a tip - if you plan the tour on a Sunday, you can still make a 3pm matinee.

Good way to spend 2 hours.

The other group canneled, so ours was a nice private tour. The guide Bert was nice and friendly and knowledgeable. I just wished that thew last shop would be Kee's so that I can get her chocolate the last as it needs refridgeration.

Delicious, Easy and Fun!
Sat, Sep 22, 07   3:30 PM caggirl42 Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
My husband and I loved the tour. It was so easy, prompt, informative, tasty and just easy going. Bert, the guide, was very sweet and he was a professional. His personality was truly enjoyable, and he was fun to listen to. We are definitely signing up for another tour soon. This is a great activity to do at anytime. Who knew that these chocolate stores even existed? Kee's..oh my..so delicious. I never knew that place existed, Jackie at Divalicious was downright cool and her dark chocolate fountain was excellent, along with the chili chocolate truffle (amazing!). It was all fantastic! Go for it!

Fun and informative
Sat, Sep 22, 07   12:00 PM pnpltby Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
First of all I loved Burt, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. The chocolate stores were amazing. You would think when you walked in these stores, they would be very snooty, but it was just the opposite. They were extremely nice and helpful. ( you could tell they also enjoyed being around Burt). It was a nice walk, but you could take as long as you needed. I highly recommend this tour. I would go again.

bert combines history and fun facts with all the charm and consideration you would expect from a southern gentleman. our tour never stinted on time in a shop, we had all the time we wanted to spend at each stop . each stop was educational and fun and i will never look at milk chocolate in the same way. i can actually taste the nuances! would i do it again? you bet i would!

NYC Highlight
Thu, Sep 13, 07   12:30 PM barbs711 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.
