best choco confections i've ever tasted.
Thu, Feb 14  12:30 PM dtliem Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I highly recommend this tour. For the price, I had high expectations of the tour, and it by far exceeded them. The tastings were fantastic, everything from balsamic vinegar chocolates, to curry choco. It was a unique perspective of chocolate confections that I've never even heard of, nor expected to taste so great. Even after the tour, I ended up going back to a few of my favorite spots on the tour, and I'm sure i'll be back to each one on my tours back. Bert, our tour guide, was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We had a tour group of 6, which was a great size and great people. They definitely helped with the experience. was explaining this tour to a friend, and my friend asked me, if I could just tell her all the places we visited, and she'd just go there herself, without a tour. But, I told her, the tour experience with Bert was well worth the cost, and I would assume that any other tour guides would be of the same caliber. I've heard that groups can get as large as 13 people. Not sure if I can say the experience was any better with less people. I i definitely enjoyed the intimacy of our small group.

Fantastic!

The tour was so much fun! I wasn't sure what it was going to be like as a single person joining the group, but I had a great time. Our tour guide Bert was awesome, not only knowledgeable but super friendly. I felt no pressure to buy from the stores we visited and I didn't feel rushed going through the tour either. The actual places we visited were very nice and welcoming, and Bert was very helpful in helping us choose which chocolates to taste and just answering our questions. I'll definitely look into checking out the other tours!

Great Tour
Fri, Feb 8  3:30 PM karenkennedy Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Great tour, very informative, learned a lot about the history of chocolate, where it is grown, how it evolved. Especially loved the tastings and pairing the chocolate with wine as well as the variety of types of chocolate and other pastries. We have recommended this tour to several of our friends who would like to take the same tour when next they are in New York.

Our chocolate tour in Soho
Sat, Jan 19  3:30 PM adpakulak Unspecified Unspecified International Tourist(s) Other
All the places were very good and unique and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, informative (answered lots of questions), and the area to walk around in was good to move around in after eating chocolate. The only other thing to add is to inform the public they will be outside for most of the tour. We had a rather cold day to walk around in. Otherwise a very good tour of chocolate.

Tour Guide ROCKS!

I enjoyed the chocolate tour. The chocolate is amazing and the stores are adorable. However, the tour guide is amazing. I would take any tour that he gives. He is personably, charming, and hilarious. I recommend this tour HIGHLY!

Different from normal activity
Sun, Jan 13  12:30 PM wfleming Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
Had a lot of fun, probably because, in order, (1) it was an activity of a type we would not normally be exposed to, and (2) it was interesting and informative with respect to its subject matter. As a resident, it would not normally occur to me to take a tour of anything. But there is a distinct and favorable difference between being taken on a tour and exploring something yourself.

This was a great Christmas gift from my husband.
Sat, Jan 12  12:00 PM andymeans Female 50-59 Local Couple on a Date
I absolutely loved this chocolate tasting tour! My husband and I both had a great time sampling the various chocolates,and learning about the manufacturing process. Our tour guide, Bert, was very congenial and knowledgeable, and did a great job in making the tour a success. The shops that we visited had chocolates from different countries, each with their own individual tastes and designs. It was amazing how many kinds of flavors and combinations of ingredients there are. It gave us a whole new appreciation for the "art" of chocolate. There were seven people in our group, all of whom were very friendly, and bound together by the love of chocolate. We had a good time chatting with each other as we walked from shop to shop. One individual in our group was from Brazil and was in the chocolate manufacturing business. He was able to add to Bert's already informative discussions. The weather was cool but comfortable, the pace was excellent with well timed stops along the way. The chocolate was delicious, and just enough of it so that there was no guilt, especially with the calories burned by walking. All in all, a great experience! I really love my husband for giving this to me for Christmas!

FABULOUS Fun
Thu, Jan 10  12:30 PM PCrown Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
The New Cuisine Chocolate Tour is about as much fun as one can legally have - and this from someone who doesn't particularly like chocolate! (I chose it as a birthday gift for a chocoholic friend.) The tour guide was terrific - charming, as full of information as enthusiasm, and a wonderfully pleasant companion and guide. The places we visited provided a variety of styles, architecture, and amibance as well as fabulous tastes, and the walk from LES to Soho was delightful. Basically two perfect hours.

Good food and knowledgeable guide
Fri, Jan 4  12:00 PM CindyBao Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I booked this tour but being the only person signed up, it was canceled (the tour requires a minimum of 2 ppl to run). However, I was offered the Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour, which was excellent. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made the whole thing fun. The choice of ventures was good as well. I especially enjoyed the second shop.

Interesting but expensive
Sun, Dec 30, 07   12:30 PM azapolanski Male 50-59 Local Family Without Children
Obviously interesting as most people do not know a lot about chocolate. The guide was superb. Very well informed on the subject and charming. Hard to eat all the samples ( 30 $ worth of chocolate) in 2 hours.

The two hour tour was a delight. I had heard of the various chocolate shops in New York but had never experienced them. Our guide, Burt, was enthusiastic and well informed. He had done his homework and was quite knowledgeable about chocolate. The samplings in the five shops were extraordinary--tasting everything from coconut to chipolte, traditional as well as more unusual flavors. This was a birthday present to my husband and we all enjoyed it. Creative and unique!

Fantastic Tour
Sat, Dec 29, 07   12:00 PM llreilly Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I got tickets to this tour for my Dad for Christmas, knowing how much he loves and appreciates chocolate I thought this would be the perfect gift. It was. The tour guide, Bert, was both a delight to be around and remarkably knowledgable about chocolate and the histories of each of the locations we visited. There was great variety between the 5 chocolatiers we visited and they all had delicious chocolate. This would be a wonderful tour for anyone who enjoys chocolate!
