One of the highlights of our trip
Sat, Jun 30, 07   12:00 PM GGibson Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This tour was fantastic. Our guide, Bert, was personable, funny, and had a tremendous base of knowledge about chocolate. The tour was kept at a leisurely pace and contained a huge amount of information and wonderful chocolate. We started at Saks Fifth Ave and went to five shops. We received 2 samples at each shop. If you want to do something "different" in New York - this is it!!

part of the New York experience

It was my first trip to New York filled with lots of other activities, but I must say that this was probably one of the highlights. Our tour guide was great and the shops that we got to visit felt like a part of New York that I would never have been able to experience in the same way on my own.

Definitely a Highlight of our NYC Trip

Our tour guide, Bert, did a wonderful job. He is very knowledgeable, and he wanted to be sure we had a fun, informative tour. We enjoyed the variety of familiar and unfamiliar chocolate tastes. We were amazed there were so many high-end gourmet chocolate stores, and each was interesting and unique. We are recommending Bert and the tour to our friends.

Good summer fun

The tour was a ton of fun, a good Sunday outing in good weather or bad. Aside from being a bit overpriced, I highly recommend it for people of all ages.

I took my teenage daughter and her friends for the chocolate tour downtown and we had a great time, walking through the village and discovering the small chocolate shops that I have passed by but never paid much attention to. Our tour guide was informative and friendly

Absolutely TERRIFIC!
Sat, Jun 23, 07   12:00 PM GlotzbachCJ Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This was such a great experience. The tour guide (Burt) was very knowledgeable of the topic and was so very in tune with each of the our interests and needs. Burt made sure we all had a good time as well as that we learned from the experience as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves chocolates! You will learn a lot about chocolate AND get the chance to try some of the world's best chocolates. Never would I have had the chance to try these chocolates had I tried to find them on my own. I will say, though, that there was/is one draw back to having gone on this tour: Hersey just doesn't do it for me anymore. I am now a chocolate snob! Such a wonderful experience! Thanks Burt!

Midtown Chocolate tour
Fri, Jun 22, 07   11:00 AM adinamish Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Individual
first, apologies for the very long delay in writing; this does not at all reflect ANY negative feelings about the tour. I am a born-and-bred New York who now lives in Israel and joined the tour on a recent visit to NY. The Friday tour I joined had about 6 people, as I recall, all women. The guide (can't recall his name now, apologies) was wonderful - very friendly, patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and most important - a true chocoholic. Even tho I eat kosher, I found the data I received (and the chocolatiers we visited) sufficiently informative to know which items I could taste and which not - and I was able to enjoy samples in every store, so didn't feel 'left out' at all! The tour was one of the most fun parts of my visit to NY and even tho I lived there all my life till I moved to Israel, this introduced me to a fun and delicious part of NY I never would've been able to learn about or visit in such a coordinated, informative and delicious way! The price seemed a bit steep at first, but given the (generously) large number of samples we enjoy, and their retail cost, it really wasn't that painful an investment at all. Highly recommended!

Nice tour for chocolate lovers
Sun, Jun 17, 07   12:00 PM russellret Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We took a Sunday tour and had a nice time. As other individuals had cancelled, my wife and I were the only ones on the tour. We appreciated the fact that they did not cancel the tour on us and our guide gave us a private tour. She was excellent and very informative. We enjoyed the tastings. The one negative that we had was a lack of interaction with the staff or owner of the shops we visited. While our guide was great, it would have been nice to get another perspective on their business. The lack of communication with the shops staff resulted in the only drawback of being the only two people on the tour. Out tastings went very fast and tour did not last near as long as the described time on the brouchere. It would have been nice to spread out the chocolate tastings a little bit. We would have enjoyed the chocolate more.

I realize time is a contraint in these types of tours but it would have been nice to experience some of the more unique stores in Soho as part of this experience. Bert did a great job for us and provided great knowledge and insight.

Exciting tour of sweets

Our tour guide was very energetic and knowledgable about chocolate. It was fun checking out these quaint and almost "under the radar" hot spots. She kept the mood light and her eclectic background made for stimulating conversation. Highly recommended!

Great chocolate with interesting flavor infusions
Sun, Jun 3, 07   12:00 PM hsweeney2 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Tour guide had great stories about each chocolate shop. Chocolate choices were anything from plain dark or milk chocolate to chili infused dark chocolate. I enjoyed experimenting with new flavors--you'll be suprised what tastes good in chocolate.

It was a very nice trip, learning about the chocolate. It's good to have fine chocolate with different flavors. It feels fresh and awsome! And the guide, did a great job, she was lively and she obviously enjoys doing this.

Amazing . . . A Must Do!
Sat, Jun 2, 07   12:00 PM jewles Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
I HIGHLY recommend the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour! It's a must do for both tourists and NYers. It's definitely worth the price. Once you taste these chocolates . . . you won't want to go back to the stuff you buy in the grocery store! Be adventurous and try things you wouldn't necessarily try. We had chocolate with basil and olive oil and chocolate infused with rose petals. Both were delicious. Our tour guide Bert was the absolute best! He was knowledgeable and just plain fun. I'd love to take another tour with him again one day. Now . . . stop reading this and go buy your ticket!
