Chocolate is Fun
Fri, Aug 17, 07   12:00 PM jmc715 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We had a great time. Bert (our guide) was very social and knowledgeable about the different shops. He was even able to keep the attention of my 12 year old daughter and her two friends. The only thing I would do differently is the last stop. It was a long walk at the end of the tour and frankly, the shopkeeper didn't seem friendly and the chocolate, in my opinion, was not worth the walk.

Delicious! Very enjoyable tour

Our guide was very knowledgable about chocolate and the establishments we visited. His enthusiasm enhanced the experience! And his other helpful information (location of bathroom facilities, etc) was appreciated as well. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the tour immensely. And the fact Burt was willing and able to pace the walking to meet the needs of the group was great. I walk very fast, but not everyone does, and he kept us at a pace all could manage and enjoy.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the chocolate tour. We learned so much about chocolate. Who knew?!?!? It was fun, educational, and best of all delicious. Getting to test all the delcious chocolates was so much fun. It's so hard to eat the stuff off the shelves now because this chocolate was so good. Our guide, Bert, was friendly, extremely knowlegdable, and made the afternoon delightful. We had a great group celebrating birthdays, anniversarys, and even an new engagement. It was fabulous. We would certainly recommend this tour and if/when we make it back we plan on going again. :-)

Chocolate lovers, this one's for you!

I read about the chocolate tour in the AM New York newspaper and decided to try it out as something different and fun to do for my husband's 30th birthday. The tour exceeded my expectations and both my husband, a true chocoholic, and myself had a wonderful time. Bert, our tour guide, was friendly and informative and the ability to choose the chocolates we wanted to taste at the various shops was awesome. I've lived on the upper east side for 7 years and had never been in any of the selected shops before this tour. I have certainly been missing out. The chocolate was of the finest quality and so delicious that I don't know how I can go back to the supermarket brands! All in all the day was great. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves chocolate. It's definitely worth it.

Even a diabetic had a good time

Bert was our guide and he was awesome. He knew his chocolate and he made us all feel very comfortable. He kept us at a nice pace, so no one got left behind. We also got to pick our own stuff and that is why I liked this tour better then another food tour I did. I know I should not have gone on a chocolate tour, but to be honest I do not crave chocolate at all, this was more something to do while in NYC. But now I know what good chocolate is and if i ever have a craving I will order the better stuff.

Wonderful outing
Fri, Aug 3, 07   12:00 PM LaurieGross Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Went with 5 girlfriends to the uptown chocolate luxury tour. Had lots of fun. Tour guide was great and knowledgable. The stores we were taken to were beautiful. The chocolates were delicious. We were able to pick out 2 pieces at each stop. That is plenty! The chocolates were very rich!! If you go in the summer bring a little bag with with with an ice pack in it to store your leftovers or to put any purchases in. A couple of the stops sold the freezer bags as well.

Great Experience
Sat, Jul 28, 07   12:00 PM adefiore Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My husband and I absolutely loved the tour. The distance between the chocolate stores was decent and the tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgable. We were sent to the incorrect starting point on our ticket, however, we were able to contact the tour guide on her cell phone and she pointed us in the right direction. It was helpful that her phone number was on the ticket, or else we would have probably missed out on the tour. Overall we had a good time and are planning to go on the other chocolate tour offered in the near future.

FANTASTIC!!!

Burt is very personable and knowledgeable about all things chocolate. He also handles a small group of people well and makes sure that questions are answered. He conveys his expertise with enthusiasm! I tried all sorts of infused chocolates that were exquisite and have become a true dark chocolate fanatic. We plan to take the Soho chocolate tour next time we're in NYC.

Amazing!
Sat, Jul 28, 07   12:00 PM jjagdeo Female 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
I'm a native NYer for over 30 years and decided to take this tour to do something different. I have to say I was really pleased with the tour. We went to a lot of places I've never heard before and got the background story on the shops and the owners. We also got to try chocolate at each place! Only downside was it was a little pricey, but you did get close personal attention and free chocolate so that was a plus! Definitely check this out if you have time and you love chocolate! This is not a tour of Godiva! This is the real deal!

Great Fun! Our tour guide Burt, was very pleasant and talkative and eager to share his knowledge about chocolate and the various chocolatietiers. My husband, myself and my niece visiting us from Ohio had a great Sunday afternoon enjoying every bite of the finest chocloate's SoHo has to offer. Would definitely recommend doing this tour.

Loved the chocolate, Loved the Tour guide
Sat, Jul 14, 07   3:30 PM LyndaMetz Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Bret was informative about chocolate. It was a relaxing stroll through SOHO stopping in to various chocolatiers to taste their drinks and candy. WOW! It doesnt get much better than that. We learned about some of the owners, how chocolate is made and more about NYC too. The other people on the tour were locals so it was equally fun to meet them and learn about living in the city. I recommend this tour and the tour guide. There was so much chocolate i had to save a piece to eat later!

As a chocoholic, I loved it.
Sat, Jul 14, 07   12:00 PM evelynjs1 Female Unspecified Local Individual
I changed my mind about La Maison du Chocolat. I had gone there at least 20 years ago and was disppointed because there was no milk chocolate. But Saturday I found out they do, indeed, have milk chocolate, so I'll be going there (especially since Saks, my favorite department store, stopped carrying Neuhaus). La Maison was the highlight for me; Pierre Marcolini came in second. Richart came in last for me. I was disappointed we didn't visit Martine's (much better than some of our visits).

The chocolate tour was superb, as well as delicious! Bert was very knowledgable about each individual chocolatier, as well as the process of making chocolate into its edible form. I would highly recommend this tour for chocolate lovers!

Chocolate lovers unite!
Sat, Jul 7, 07   12:00 PM KarenBradley Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
Being the chocoholic of the family, I didn't hesitate to book the chocolate tour in NYC! My family obliged in joining me. After our first stop at Saks 5th Avenue's chocolate cafe my kids were sold and commented that this is going to be the best tour ever! It's educational, fun and exceptionally sweet! We appreciated the pace of the tour as it allowed us to meet and talk to others. Bert guided us through our choices and we enjoyed his humor and love for chocolate! It was a great way to be introduced to the complexities of chocolate making and we loved trying selections we would never usually make! The tour has changed my children's idea of what great chocolate is and commented that the average chocolate bar just isn't going to cut it anymore! So parents, beware! This tour is going to give you the real thing and nothing compares to the best of the best when it comes to chocolate! Chocolate lovers from St. Albert, Alberta, Canada
