Good for chocolate lovers.

Based on the website my wife and I decided to take this tour. Our tour guide (Bert) is who really made the tour worth while. He was both knowledgeable and fun to chat with. We went to five different high-end chocolatiers andr eceived tastes at each place along with some history lessons. The tour was a bit on the pricey side. However, we had fun and would recommend it to anyone who loves chocolate.

If you love chocolate, this tour is for you!

I am a chocolate addict and was so excited to learn about the Chocolate tour! While planning a day in the city for my mom's birthday, I decided out first stop had to be the tour. The chocolate that we sampled was absolutley delicious. It's a great opportunity to be adventurous or stick with what you know you will like. I'm usually not adventurous when selecting chocolate, however Burt, our tour guide, selected a truffle sprinkled with curry for us to taste. Although I was skeptical, I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. The walking isn't extensive, but by the time you arrive at your next destination you are ready for the next bite. There were 4 women in our group and all were 100% satisfied!!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys chocolate!!! And here's a tip - if you plan the tour on a Sunday, you can still make a 3pm matinee.

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.

Informative and enjoyable! I've been on chocolate tours before and learned new things on this one. The places we visited were a good range of different types of chocolatiers.

I found this tour quite by accident on the computer and thought it might be interesting as something to do on Saturday afternoon to fill in some time before our Broadway show. It turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to NYC. Our tour guide was most informative about chocolate, its background, its characteristics and the chocolate stores we visited throughout the tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes chocolate. You will be in for a fun and extremely tasty afternoon and you even walk off some of those nasty calories.

Great tastes! Great guide!

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.

We all had a great time eating ,drinking and walking. Our tour guide Bert was enthusiatic and knowledgable. The amount and types of wine and chocolate offered throughout the tour was lacking.

This was a fantastic tour. The tour guide is great. Not only does he know a lot about chocolate, but also the area. He is friendly and fun. The tour itself consists of going to several different chocolate shops and picking chocolates to try. The guide knows all the different kinds of offered. There are some very adventurous types of chocolates to try, and you get to try ALOT!! I enjoyed this tour so much that I will be taking the other one soon.

Unexpected Highlight
Fri, Jul 11, 08   12:00 PM melli1 Female 20-29 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We booked this tour rather last minute after reading some excellent reviews from the Guardian and online. Burt was our affable host who took us round 5 beautiful chocolate shops, each with their own distinct style and tastes! He was highly articulate and knowledgable on the subject of chocolate and both of us (my boyfriend and I) felt we learnt a lot from him! One of the main highlights for us was talking to a real local who knew the areas around town to recommend, what to look out for and sights/sounds not to be missed. Burt clearly had a good relationship with the chocolate shop staff as they all greated him like long lost friends and made us all feel very welcome. Thank you for providing this tour and we would recommend it to anyone going to New York! (P.S. you should set one up in London...)

I took my mom on this tour since she is a chocolate lover. We both had a wonderful time and tasted the most delicious and unusual chocolates. Our guide was so informative and personable. It was a lovely tour and I would highly recommend it to not only tourists, but also for locals looking for something different to do in the city.

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 way to experience Midtown & well, chocolate
Fri, Jun 1, 07   12:00 PM meesha Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable, he made time for each guest and was very conscientious of the warm day and was accommodating to requests for breaks - and stops at the ATM! This tour was a great way to experience chocolate in a way we wouldn't have otherwise, and to take a walking tour with an experienced guide was a real treat - just like having a friend in New York. Be sure to book the tour early in your schedule so you have time to go back and visit the places that were your favourites, not to mention all the high end stores you pass along the way. Highly recommended for any chocolate lover no matter how familiar you are with New York.

so delicious.........
Sat, Oct 6, 07   3:30 PM mcroux Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Individual
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.
