Great Tour
Sun, Mar 11, 07   12:00 PM ChefTanner Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
For anyone who has the time, I highly suggest taking both this tour and the Luxury Tour so you can see the dichotomy of the types of places that are in NYC and the types of shops that are becoming popular. I loved three of the shops, one I was not too hot on but thats just personal snobbery preference for chocolate. The tour is much shorter than the Luxury tour, but no less interesting or flavorful. The tour guides are knowledgeable and interesting to talk to and not snobby or arogant, which you can get from the other food tours in the city. Highly suggested for anyone who is a tourist or a NYC native, it's a good break from the normal tourist junk. The area in which this tour places you at the finish can be great for spending the rest of your day as well.

Best way to find gems
Fri, Dec 29, 06   12:00 PM ChefTanner Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
If I hadn't taken this tour, it wouldve taken me forever to think of how to find these great chocolatiers in NYC. The tour was great and our tour guide was supurb. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a foodie or just a chocolate lover. There is ALOT of walking, but its a good way to burn off all of those calories. This is also a great way to sample expensive chocolates that you probably wouldn' normally buy. I think they might be beetr suitted removing the first stop in Saks 5th Avenue and adding a different location. Their products were mediocre compared to the rest. Michel Richard's chocolates are beyond amazing.

We had such a good time! Our guide Burt was pleasant and extremely knowledable about the nuances of chocolate. The tour covered different aspects of chocolate making and its history; the sampling was educational ...and delicious. I would recommend this tour and Burt to anyone visiting New York. Charlotte P

Our guide was knowledgeable but not snobby. He was friendly and knew everyone who worked at the places we went to. When we walked to each place, he made an effort to talk to everyone on the group to make us feel comfortable. He really made the tour fantastic. He was honest and and wonderful. The chocolate is amazing and it was great to eat something so decadent ALL DAY LONG!!! I will take this tour again!

I do not consider myself a "chocoholic" but this amazing tour through the beautiful streets of Soho could make me into one! The tour guide was fun and informative and he provided just enough background and insights. I would definitely sign up again and for other tours as well.

A different and fun activity

Our group enjoyed the tour of the Soho chocolate "boutiques." Learning more about chocolate itelf, as well as the "stories" of the various shops we visited was very interesting. Our guide Carmen was knowledgeable and a lot of fun Plus the chocolate was divine!

Wow! What a chocoholic's dream!
Thu, Oct 2, 08   12:30 PM ccolman Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is a fabulous tour that should not be missed! Our well informed, personable and wonderfully funny guide, Bert, was the best ever! We stopped at 5 Chocolate shops that each had something different to offer, and he explained each style & flavor in detail to us so we could make informed decisions for our tastings. It was a walking tour that seemed conveniently spread out in Soho so that we got just enough exercise between chocolate binging...I mean tastings. We had such a variety...who knew there was a "green olive" chocolate...and I loved it! We even tasted chocolates that were so beautifully decorated that it seemed a crime to eat them (but we did)...we had others that were filled with liquid Champagne! We will definitely do this again on our next visit...and you should, too! Don't let our ages fool you...we are still young in body & mind.

Awesome

We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was perfect. He was very knowledgeable about chocolate and the business and was very friendly. All the shops were so cute and smelled just lovely. The best part was of course the chocolate. I never knew there could be such variety. I am one who personally hates curry but when it was combined with chocolate it was amazing. We can't wait to try the other tours offered by this group.

Chocolate Lovers dream
Sat, Feb 21  12:00 PM CarrieM Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Wow! Before leaving on the tour I said it would be impossible for me to have too much chocolate. I ate all my samples, and had my fill of chocolate when the tour ended. We had Bert as our tour guide, and he was terrific. I will definately take a tour again.

Bert, our guide, was very knowledgeable and even provided some details which the chocolatiers didn't! He was very pleasant and enthusiastic about his job. I would definitely recommend the tour for people of all ages - there's something for everyone.

The tour was great! The tour guide was even better! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to listen to. Lots of information on chocolate that I didn't know about, and the chocolate at each shop was wonderful.

Had a great time
Sun, Mar 1  12:00 PM Carolynesa Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our tour was quite small, my sister and me, and a mother & daughter duo. We were all entranced by the display in the windows at Jacques Torres, our starting point. We went inside and met Bert, our guide, who was very knowledgable on the subject. Because we were a small group, conversation about the chocolate we were eating was plentiful. Each stop was unique and offered a different take on the art of chocolate. My favorite shop was Kee's. The pace was leisurely and no one had a problem keeping up. I would strongly recommend this tour to others. PS -- We passed a hand pulled candy/sugarcraft store on the route, I think it would be a bonus to your tour if you could add it to the agenda.

Our guide was informative and enjoyable. Our tour was just the right amount of shops with info/history about each. I plan to recommend this tour and company to others. I plan to do other tours that are offered by this company. Thank you for an afternoon of the most delicious treats.

Excellent Walking Tour
Thu, Apr 16  12:30 PM Candi61 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The walking chocolate tour was a great experience. We stopped at 5 shops in 2 hours. Our guide, Bert, was excellent and very knowledgeable about each shop. We learned more about chocolate than we ever knew and the best part was being able to sample pieces from each shop. Each shop is unique in their product. We would never have known these shops existed if we hadn't taken the tour. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to do in NYC.
