Yummy Tour!

When I signed up for this tour, I knew it would be fun, as well as yummy! You can't go wrong with chocolate, but the tour was so much more fun than I expected! I went by myself, and the tour guide and everyone else on the tour was so much fun...I felt like I had taken the tour with friends! I learned a lot about chocolate, and now I know what chocolate shops to go back to when I want some really good chocolate!! :)

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!

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.

Tom and I toured five chocolate shops on the upper EAst side with eight other people from all over the world. Bert our guide kept up an informative commentary while setting a comfortable walking pace. A fun way to see, smell, taste and hear about chocolate!

Great fun and a great tour guide

Our guide, Burt, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and really knew his chocolate, recommending his favorites as well as describing the choices that were available. All of the shops we visited greeted us cordially and we were treated to not only wonderful chocolate to sample, but lots of information about how their wonderful products are made. For lovers of chocolate this is a must.

lots of great chocolate

Carmen was great, very helpful and nice. Be prepared to be indulgent and spoiled! My mom and I loved every minute of it. Be sure you use the bathrooms at Saks before the tour because there are no bathrooms on the tour. La Masion du Chocolat has the best chocolate. Try the caramel and mint ganache, amazing!

Fun time

Definitely a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day which made it very enjoyable. Nice walk around the UES and some good chocolates to go along with it. Made for a fun day and a memorable experience in Manhattan.

HAD A GREAT TIME!

Our guide was very knowledgable about chocolate -- I had no idea there was so much to learn! Her interaction with the group made it more fun -- she asked questions and got us involved in conversation instead of giving a lecture. My group was small (3) and that was really nice.

A Sweet Respite

The New Cuisine Chocolate Tour was a great way to spend a Sunday with family in town. Two hours is the perfect amount of time and there was just enough anecdote peppered with education to make the tour interesting and not at all boring. We made some amazing chocolate discoveries in Soho that will serve as invaluble outlets for gifts -- or just plain chocolate cravings. Carmen is fun and knowlegdeable and I think my family enjoyed her nearly as much as the creme brulee chocolate at Klee.

The whole thing dah-ling!

My sister was in town visiting for her birthday weekend in NYC and we took the tour with Bert on a Friday afternoon. It was fantastic. As a local New Yorker, I had visited some of the chocolate shops on the tour, but most of them were a new experience for me -- they were all fabulous. Bert was an excellent tour guide -- extremely knowledgable about the art and history of chocolate. My sister and I had a great time (we were a bit spoiled too, because it was just the two of us, and it was like having a private tour guide). My understanding and appreciation of fine chocolate has gone way up. Loved it!

Absolutely Fantastic! Worth Every Cent!

I purchased this tour as a present for my Mother's 51st B-Day. I had previously gone on the uptown Luxury tour with my girlfriend, and had very high expectations after having such an enjoyable experience there. To my delight I found that the same tour guide was doing the downtown tour as well, and not only that, the whole group was just my mother and I! It's extremely impressive to me that, despite the small crowd, the tour was not canceled and the tour guide was just as bright and friendly as he had been on the uptown tour (except on that tour there was about 15 people, not just 2!) We had an absolutely fantastic time and really got to discover some of the chocolate treasures surrounding So-Ho. My mother did nothing but rave about what a good time she had afterwards. As a note to others hoping for a possibly smaller group... Sundays, according to our guide is the slowest day. As I previously stated, I've attended tours through this company with larger, and now with very intimate groups, no matter what the size is, you can't miss!

Delicious!!!

We had such a good time on our chocolate walking tour. Not being from New York City, it was great to meet people that were familiar with the area and also loved chocolate. We went to several chocolatiers that I had never heard of and they were all very delicious, service was friendly and helpful, and our tour guide Bert, did an excellent job.

Loved it!

I thought I knew what GOOD chocolate was, until I took this tour! I love chocolate, I thought I had a wide variety of knowledge on the subject but as I found out on the tour I know very little. The Chocolatier's that we visited where full of history and each had a wide variety of unique chocolate to try. Our guide Bert was awesome! He is friendly, informative and a great guide. He was pleasant to have a conversation with. It is an all walking tour, but that is a good thing, it gives you time to rest between tasting. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!!!!! AND BERT!!!!!!

If you love chocolate and want to try the best, this is a great afternoon activity. It was fun and leisurely. Our tour guide Bert was lively and informative and seemed to really enjoy the tour himself.
