The NYC Chocolate Tour was Great Fun!
Fri, Mar 20  12:00 PM krader954 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived on the tour but our guide, Burt, quickly put us at ease. He is a fun person & has a passion for chocolate & how it's made. He made the tour fun, interesting and encouraged interaction among the guests on the tour. I also appreciated the fact that even though we were going to some of the priciest chocolate shops in the city, he kept the tone of the tour down to earth and casual. We really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend the tour to our friends.

Very fun!

My husband, 12-year-old daughter and I very much enjoyed our Luxury Chocolate Tour on a recent visit to Manhattan. Our guide was passionate about the topic of chocolate and he taught us quite a bit in the process of walking to the assorted shops on the tour. Great way to explore the upper East side and feel more knowledgeable at the end! The tastings were great too :)

Good for tourists, not for locals
Sat, Mar 14  12:00 PM elwoodj1 Female 30-39 Local Unspecified
Our guide was fun and the chocolate was good, but not sure this was worth the high price tag. The tour advertises that it is through the upper east side, but you never get higher than 59th. Also, I thought I would be shown hidden gems in NY, but 2 of the shops were in major department stores.

Well worth the drive!

We drove 4 hours to NY to take this tour - as a surprise for my husband. Our guide was waiting for us at the designated spot and once the entire tour had arrived (15 people) we started out. For a walking tour, the furthest we had to walk from one store to the next was about 7 short blocks, so no one got overly tired. The guide scheduled bathroom stops, and gave us enough time at each location so that we didn't feel rushed. We went to five gourmet chocolate shops where we were able to choose two pieces of chocolate from their entire collection while the guide gave us a little history of the shop and the chocolate making process. There was also plenty of time to buy more chocolates if you wanted (the prices were not outrageous - but they were in line with the fine product). At the end of the tour my husband and I decided to have lunch and our guide was kind enough to point out nearby locations. All in all it was a fun and decadent tour. At first, 10 samples doesn't seem like much, but we were definitely chocolated out by the end and even saved a few for the next day. We look forward to taking more tours with this company and even handed out the brochures the guide gave us to shoppers we met in Bloomingdales who overheard us talking about how much fun we had.

This tour was soooooooooooo good! Such good chocolate to taste and the tour guide was a lot of fun and super nice. I unfortunately was a little late for the tour and the tour guide, Bert, called my cell phone to tell us where to meet him. He also was going to get us samples from the places we might have missed...thankfully nothing was missed! We even got more than just two samples at some places. It was absolutely delicious! I have been to NYC a bunch of times and probably have past these chocolate shops and never even thought twice about going in them. I will definitely have to stop by them again to try some more chocolate!

Highly recommend this tour!

A friend and I went on this tour when we were visiting from the DC area. We had a great time! Not only was the chocolate fabulous, but the tour was very informational and Burt is fantastic! At first, I was a little hesitant due to the price, but it was a great value for what we had. Each shop had 2 - 3 things for us to try and they were all very welcoming. There was no pressure at any time - to buy, to hurry up, to not ask questions, etc. It was all very relaxed. My friend and I plan on doing the two other chocolate tours now that we've been through this one.

What a delicious way to spend a Friday afternoon
Fri, Mar 6  3:30 PM SAYEGH Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
My friend and I played hooky from work to do this. Neither one of us can be described as a "chocoholic", but it looked very interesting and different, so what the heck? Bert was an excellent host, very informative and friendly, as well as down to earth and attentive. Every place we went to was lovely. City Bakery was an okay stop, I understand it was to rest and chill out, but it was a bit icky upstairs. Delish cookie and hot chocolate though.I would have rather spent more time at Ayza...Wow that place is terrific!! I will say I found the most interesting stop to be Vere. Not only was the chocolate scrumptious, but the ladies there so wonderful and accomdating and knowledgeable. I have already recommended Vere to several people in my office, and a couple of co workers and I are going to go to Ayza next week. Really, a terrific tour and a terrific host!

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.

wonderful tour.

I live in brooklyn and when my mom came to visit we wanted to get to the second tier fun new york. I had an excellent time, Bert is a great guide, gives just enough information about chocolate without getting too technical or boring. Loved all the shops we went to and even enjoyed the 'break" with some cheesecake! would most certainly recommend.

There was nothing that could have made this tour any better' The tour guide was both knowledgeable and knew how to lead a tour, something that so many guides cannot do;

Bright spot on a grey day
Sun, Feb 22  12:00 PM shopvmp Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We were a threesome of 50 year old friends from high school. One was a first time visitor to NYC. It was a cloudy coolish day but the walk around to the chocolate stores (and Elaine's) was heart warming. We had a knowledgeable and very calm tour guide which made the tour sooo much better. Thanks! Highly, highly recommended activity while in NYC.

Decadent and Educational - I Love NYC
Sun, Feb 22  12:00 PM GillianS Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
The New Cuisine Chocolate tour was a fantastic way to explore and learn more about the city I live in through a food I love - chocolate! Learning about the chocolate makers and their art really gives you an appreciation for what they do. Bert, our host, was very accomodating and insightful. I took my parents and a friend of the family (all locals) and we all had a great time and learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour for people who love to learn and have an appetite for quality chocolate :)
