Our guide, Burt, was great. Very informative, fun, good sense of humor, and did a great job with keeping us on time and still allowing everyone a chance to wander around and shop. I highly recommend this tour.

What a fun day! The weather was soggy but no one seemed to mind. The luscious chocolates put us in a great mood. Bert ,our guide, was wonderful. He kept us informed each step of the way. Would love the address of his online cooking show. Great way to OD on Chocolate! I'm telling everyone!!!

The tour was really well conducted and gave a lot of interesting information. It was a little tough as 12 noon is early to be eating such rich chocolate! I believe the chocolate lovers really enjoyed the samples; I enjoyed seeing the locations, especially since I was unaware of most. Mariebelle was most charming.

I attended the Chocolate tour with my 24 year old daughter. We made reservations on line so really was not sure how it was going to turn out. I must say not only were we surprised but it was one of the major highlights of our trip to New York. This was the first time (other than 2 hours 7 years ago) we had an extended trip in New York. Our guide not only told us alot about Chocolate that we never knew he also gave us an asume tour of New York as we went place to place. We still talk about it and I tell all my friends that this is a must do tour when they go to New York. I want to thank you all so very much, it was great. Gary D. Jones

Burt the tour guide was great. The best part was my daughter and myself, were if you can believe this at the chocolated OUT stage by the last place. BUT WE MET JACQUES TORRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the best tour. I was able to try many different chocolates taht I would not normally even consider. The tour guide was amazing with help and suggestions as to what to select. This tour was a chocolate dream.

Very knowledgeable. Fabulous chocolate to taste. Would have liked to make my own choice at Maison Du Chocolate; But, still wonderful.

The guide was excellent!! The tour average. It is expensive and the chocolates sampled are good but not the worlds best in my opinion!! It's only my opinion after all. Did not feel well received in some of the stores which is unfortunate as I paid for the priviledge of visiting their store.

Burt met us on time and we hit it off from the beginning. His suggestions were great and his knowledge of chocolate, New York and the culinary scene was enjoyed and appreciated. We have recommended the tour to all our friends and hope to take other tours the next time we visit the city.

What a lovely tour this was! We got to explore parts of New York not often on the visitor's plan, mainly the part between Little Italy and Soho, and learn some of the history and technique of chocolate making, all the while sampling some of finest (if not the finest) chocolates of New York. We loved the fact that all 5 of the shops were so different from each other, and in the smaller shops got to meet the owners as well. There were so many options of flavors to choose from. I would recommend bringing a small refrigerated bag with you if you go in hot weather, as you may want to bring some fo teh samples home for later tasting, and you certainly may wish to buy from the shops as you go...but either way, bring your appetite for chocolate as there will be more than enough of that for the day! By the way, our guide was bert, and he was absolutely delightful.

Bert was quite knowledgable and fun to spend the afternoon with. I was part of a group of 6 ladies that had travelled from Ontario, Canada for a week in New York and this was definitely worth putting on our list to do. You get two chocolates in each shop plus hot chocolate samples in a couple of the shops. They were all delicious. If you are wanting to try the iced hot chocolate you have to do the tour before October, so instead I bought some to bring home and make myself. I would recommend this tour to everyone it was fun and informative.

Is very worth while participating in this tour. Bert was the tour guide and was very outgoing, pleasant and interacted with each person on the tour. Very glad that we added this to our list of events during our time in NYC. While we were on the tour...people on the street who overheard the commentary were asking how they could sign up & participate. Definately worth your time.

An energetic personable guide briefed our group of thirteen on the afternoons planned excursion. Five shoppes were chosen to visit. The chocolate shop stops included vinettes on chocolates lore, production and qualities. Each shop had something unique to offer, including of course two difficult to choose chocolates! We were also treated to chocolate specialty drinks at two of the shoppes. A lovely treat was meeting some of the shoppe owners. They were charming, informative and passionate about their work. Uniquely different is the only way to describe the ambiance and decor of each shoppe. The walks were short with available stops for water purchase and respite. Our afternoon was enhanced by our guide, Burt, who was genuine, honest, and had planned the time well.

We had a fantastic time on the chocolate tour. Bert is a great tour guide. He is gracious and very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone knew what was happening next. The chocolate shops were welcoming and happy to see us. What a great way to spend an afternoon in the city!

Burt is an exceptional, enthusiastic, funny and extremely knowledgeable tour guide. He is intent on making the tour fun for everyone. He greets everyone warmly and treats people with the utmost respect. He has a great rapport with all the chocolate vendors who greet everyone on the tour enthusiastically and provide the best service, no matter how busy the shop is. I highly recommend the tour. It was definitely a five star experience.
