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.

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.

A chocoholics Heaven

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.

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.

We loved it!

There were eight of that did the tour together and we all totally enjoyed ourselves. The chocolates were wonderful and we certainly had enough to taste. There was enough time given to wander around the stores and purchase anything that you might want. Our tour guide was excellent and answered our questions and gave us lots of information regarding chocolates. Our tour guide also mentioned that you are thinking of doing a wine and dessert tour which is something that we all thought would be fun to do too. The only problem that we encountered was that the meeting place was not correct on our papers. All 15 people that went on the tour had the wrong information. In the future it would be better to make sure that the proper meeting place in correct. Thank you very much. We enjoyed it totally.

I went to the Luxury Tour and the New Cuisine Tour. Yes I am a choco-olic. They were different and both de-li-cious. We where lucky to have Bert as our guide for both of them. He is passionate, funny and he knows chocolate very well. We already know how chocolate was discovered , so he concentrated on what it tastes and the sensation it procures. What a pleasant way to discover New-York. We learn a lot, even if we have great "cholatiers" in Montreal.

My sister and I took the tour together. We found our guide, Bert, to be extremely knowledgeable about the chocolates and the places we visited. He was also very personable and enthusiastic. You could tell he loved what he was doing. The owners of the shops we stopped at were also very friendly. The chocolate samples (and we could make our own choices) were delicious. The next time we are in the City, we intend on taking one of their other tours.

Our tour guide (Bert) was very informative regarding the different types of chocolate, where they were from and was happy to make suggestions. The choices for tasting sights was well rounded and gave a wide selection of different types of chocolate to try. My group enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it for anyone like us, who Loves Chocolate.

bert combines history and fun facts with all the charm and consideration you would expect from a southern gentleman. our tour never stinted on time in a shop, we had all the time we wanted to spend at each stop . each stop was educational and fun and i will never look at milk chocolate in the same way. i can actually taste the nuances! would i do it again? you bet i would!

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Burt, was as much a treat as the chocolate. He was a wealth of interesting information regarding everything chocolate and then some. The chocolate shops were varied and, of course, delicious. This was a birthday present for my grown daughter but even my 5 year old granddaughter enjoyed it. (We did bring a stroller for her.) Definitely worth it!

Chocolate, chocolate!!!
Sat, Sep 1, 07   12:00 PM costello Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Other
I found that the tour was a little too generic. Our guide was very informative on the different shops we went to, explaining the differences between each. However I feel that more demonstrations would have made the tour more interesting. Even if we saw the tempering process it would have been more than just eating chocolates. The other thing is we both found the time a little off. It would be more amenable to have the tour after the lunch hour.

Our tour guide's name was Bert. He was very easy going, very familiar with his subject ( chocolate). Our group were all adults which was very nice. All in all a very nice NY moment. I would definitely recommend to others ( I already have).

Wonderful outing

Went with 5 girlfriends to the uptown chocolate luxury tour. Had lots of fun. Tour guide was great and knowledgable. The stores we were taken to were beautiful. The chocolates were delicious. We were able to pick out 2 pieces at each stop. That is plenty! The chocolates were very rich!! If you go in the summer bring a little bag with with with an ice pack in it to store your leftovers or to put any purchases in. A couple of the stops sold the freezer bags as well.
