Amazing Experience

My husband and I went on the SoHo Chocolate Tour as part of our anniversary celebration, and it was a fantastic time. Even though we live in the city, we were only familiar with one of the places our guide took us. Our guide, Matt, was knowledgeable and easygoing. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Chocolate fans rejoyce

This tour was a great unique way to tour NYC and enjoy delicious chocolate at the same time. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable about all 5 stops we made and the chocolates offered. Most importantly my girlfriend loved the tour and all of the chocolate she got to sample. I would highly recommend this tour to any couple that enjoys chocolate.

Better than expected

I took my husband on this tour as a birthday gift. Lucky for us, it was just the 2 of us. Our tour guide, Linzi Jean, was fantastic. Since it was just us, she was able to spend lots of time telling us about the history of the chocolate shops, as well as other places in NYC. She explained the differences between each shop and offered her recommendations of tastings. The chocolates themselves were better than I expected; the tastes, the textures, each one unique and wonderful. At first you think "only 2 samples per store"..... we actually brought most of the samples home. I'll definitely be stopping back at these shops any time I'm in the city. We'll also be looking to book the SoHo Chocolate Tour and will definitely be requesting Linzi as our tourguide.

A Fairly Good Experience

Our guide was friendly, patient, and willing to answer questions. All five shops we visited made exquisite chocolate, but several of the proprietors appeared to be annoyed at our presence. They had to be pumped for information. The very worst was the one in Rockefeller Center. We loved the Irish chocolate and the English chocolate best, probably due in large part to the wonderful and friendly reception we received. The tour gave us an opportunity to explore shops we didn't know existed and we were glad for the experience. The walk between venues was just right. I did feel the tour was overpriced for what we received.

If you haven't taken a chocolate tour in the city, you should. Its interesting to see all the different chocolatiers in NYC and taste what really good chocolate is like. Great for a date!

Very informative and tasty

The tour was very informative and fun. The tour guide was very knowledgable and really cared that we received the full experience of the tour. However, by the 5th shop we were over indulged with chocolates we needed to take them in a to-go bag!

Fun and Sweet

We absolutely enjoyed the NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour on 1/29/2010. I booked the tour for 3 reasons: (1) To entertain my cousin visiting from Germany (2) To celebrate my sister's 40th birthday (3) To treat myself with the love of my life which is chocolate. Even though the weather was cold and windy, we had such a fun time that we weren't even thinking how freezing we were. It was a nice stroll through the city and we visited 5 Chocolatiers. We didn't even know that such delicious truffles existed in the city. We can't leave out the Tour Guide! We had Matt and he was terrific. He was sweet, funny and was a great help with his Truffle suggestions. He even made the tour extra special knowing it was my sister's birthday. Thanks Matt for a fun-filled sweet day. You made our experience very memorable!

Awesome Soho chocolate tour
Sun, Dec 13, 09   12:30 PM audrey14 Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
I went with 3 friends (as a mutual birthday outing) on the Soho Chocolate tour. Despite the rain, it was abundantly fun and delicious and surpassed our expectations. Our guide, Linzi Jean, was very friendly, knowledgeable and organized. We had ample time at each stop, but miraculously stayed on schedule. The chocolate stops were much more unique and interesting than I'd imagined. While we did walk through a bit of Soho, everything was fairly close together, so even in the rain, it was an easy jaunt. Thanks!

Would recommend it to any chocolate lover

Burt was great, and unfortunately for Sweetwalks it was his last tour. He was good enough to be picked for a management spot at one of the chocolate stores he frequented on this tour. it turned out to be a private tour for me and my boyfriend, and four trainees joined the group. It was a lot of fun, and Burt was very knowledgable about everything! What we particularly loved about him was his lack of pretension. The stores were all very interesting, and we bought chocolates from every one of them. Unfortunately for us, I somehow left the bag with a large 20 oz tin of the Aztec hot chocolate we got from Mariebell Sweets at the theatre. The hot chocolate was so good, as were all the hot chocolate samples we received! I would recommend this to any chocolate lover, and would say to be open minded about what chocolate is, because I came to find out that beautiful ganache can be combined with curry, pistachio, lemon, sesame, passion fruit, and so many flavors one would not expect. They were all delicious, and it certainly opened my mind up as to the depth of possible flavors. Thank you Sweetwalks for a great birthday present experience for my boyfriend.

great time

I took my 12-year old daughter on this tour on a cold, rainy weekend afternoon. Because of the weather, we were the only ones on the tour. The guide was extremely nice, personable and knowledgable. Because of the weather, he emphasized some of the sellers of speciality hot chocolate as well as chocolate and truffles. We got more than enough to taste at each place and the owners knew our guide well and so we were bumped to the front of all the lines. Generally, a great time with truly delicious tastings.

Despite heavy rain - did not disappoint!
Sat, Dec 5, 09   12:00 PM flynn695 Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Our tour guide Burt was just great. From the minute we met him at the 1st chocolate shop, he was very engaging. He definitely knows his chocolate history, but at the same time, didn't bore with too much detail, and allowed for plenty of eating and tasting time. The weather in the city was rainy, cold, and windy, and the city was packed with shopping tourists for the Christmas season, but even with a group of 13 people, he managed to keep us all in good spirits and somehow managed to keep us together! I found out about this tour online by mistake, but it turned out to be a great mistake. I highly recommend it to any chocolate lover, or to anyone who has a "special someone" who is a chocolate lover.

We were surprised by how much we liked the tour. Laid back, but we also learned a lot. The guide (Bert) is great - we're taking one of their other tours with him in December.
