Fantastic Experience! Four Star Tour Guide!!!
Sat, Feb 17, 07   12:00 PM kichline Male 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
I recently booked the walking chocolate tour as a valentines day gift for my girlfriend. When I first explained to her what we would be doing, she seemed interested, but not overly enthusiastic. As soon as we arrived at the first chocolate stop on the tour, her mood defiantly changed and couldn't stop raving afterwards about how much fun it was. The tour guide in-particular made the experience. He had told us this was his first tour for this company but he performed like an Ace. Giving relevant information, insider tips, and never crossing the line of being excessively informative or annoying. When we went to a chocolate shop that wasn't as willing to speak to the group on their products (and that only happened at one stop by the way, all the other shops were amazingly welcoming) he picked up the slack without missing a beat and gave our group a quick history and recommendations of the chocolate shop. I have family from out of state and I will DEFIANTLY be taking this tour again with them when they come to visit. I can't say enough. Absolutely worth every penny.

wonderful

We are a married couple with very small children. We took the tour as a special date for the two of us. It was terrific. We actually did both chocolate tours and they were equally good. I think we prefered the uptown tour. The shopkeepers on those were much more interesting and friendly. Carmen was our guide and we could not have asked for better.

Best way to find gems
Fri, Dec 29, 06   12:00 PM ChefTanner Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
If I hadn't taken this tour, it wouldve taken me forever to think of how to find these great chocolatiers in NYC. The tour was great and our tour guide was supurb. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is a foodie or just a chocolate lover. There is ALOT of walking, but its a good way to burn off all of those calories. This is also a great way to sample expensive chocolates that you probably wouldn' normally buy. I think they might be beetr suitted removing the first stop in Saks 5th Avenue and adding a different location. Their products were mediocre compared to the rest. Michel Richard's chocolates are beyond amazing.

The chocolate was great
Sat, Dec 16, 06   12:00 PM jhgeller Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The chocolates were not just great but fantastic and the people in some of the shops not particularly informative, but friendly. The guide seemed rushed, and could have provided more information and background. If the weather hadn't been just about perfect for a December afternoon, it could have been pretty boring.

Very intersting tour with interesting shops. Information was quite enough. A good selection of different chocolate shops. May were interested in more tasting . I would recommend a better meeting place. Saks is to crowdy.

The tour was an opportunity to do something truly different. Bert, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgable. He provided a casual approach to the event, which helped everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the afternoon. All in all a great experience.

Unique,fun and delicious!
Fri, Nov 6  12:00 PM AJD115 Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
Thank you Bert!!! How awesome to find a tour unique for locals and visitors to NYC!! My 14 old daughter and I had the day off and I wanted to do something interesting and fun. This tour covered it! We know more about chocolate than we ever thought could be possible. Bert is so knowledgable about the process of making chocolate to the intricate aromas, and flavors. His suggestions were superb. We were able to freely choose two pieces from each shop and two of the five we were given hot chocolate.. each very different. Our small group of nine was diverse, interesting and fun. Bert set the tone at the first shop and we were able to mingle and chat walking along 5th avenue and vicinity. We highly recommend a leisure two hours with Bert . Thank you, we loved you and all that you know about chocolate!

Loved it!

We had such a great time on the tour. My sister and I took my mom for her birthday. The tour guide, Bert, was really nice. He called us when it got close to noon to make sure we were on our way. It was nice of him, instead of just leaving without us. He was very knowledgeable and said happy birthday! to our mom. The chocolates and hot chocolate were delicious. It was raining, but it really didn't matter. We didn't even notice because we had such a good time. We told some friends about it when we got back home and recommended it on Facebook. Thanks again!

Thank you, Bert, for guiding us through the delicious and fun stops on the wine and chocolate tour! We had so much fun. We laughed, ate, and drank drinking wine and chocolate, which we all wonderful. Your expertise on chocolate, wine, and the city was greatly appreciated as were your informational and interesting sidelines. I recommend this tour and hope to be going on more Sweet Walks! I look forward to seeing you as our guide again.

Choc. Cuisine review
Sat, Oct 17  4:00 PM KimSchueler Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
We really enjoyed this cuisine tour of the Soho area! My son, who we were visiting, also enjoyed the trip. I would recommend that you bring a bottle of water until the co. provides it. It is a good idea to clear the palate in between choc. tasting. But what a "yummy" view of N.Y.

YUM! The Chocolate was amazing.
Fri, Oct 16  12:00 PM BrendaWilson Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
This activity was so much fun. We love chocolate and it was fun to learn more about it. Each store had a different flare and approach to making chocolate. It was fast paced and entertaining. I would recommend this tour. I ordered additional chocolate from 4 of the 5 stores so far.
