The NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour

With some fine tuning, this tour could have been even better...Tour guide directed us to excellent chocolate locations... tastings were delicious... but tour guide's knowledge on the various locations was superficial and limited.... would have loved to learn more about each of the proprietors... why they entered into the industry... how long they were in business...their history, back grounds... where did they go to school to learn their trades... with whom did they apprentice to develop their expertise.... business' target market, etc... other interesting anecdotes about the various proprietors.... why did the proprietors choose their current locations to sell their products, etc...

We were a group of friends that planned this as a get together. We enjoyed the tour & all the treats we received along the route as we stopped @ each chocolate shop. Bert was our tour guide & he was very accomodating & knowledgable.

We visit New York often, but have never done a food tour. This was a lot of fun and not stuffy at all, even for non-foodies. For some people it might be a lot of walking - be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water, you need both. Bert was great. He knew a lot, made suggestions, let us take our time and still kept us on schedule and had a wonderful approach and attitude about life. He'll give you recommendations about other tours and tidbits about the city, too, if you ask. Take advantage of a chance to try flavors you'd never normally order and have fun!

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.

Excellent.

The other group canneled, so ours was a nice private tour. The guide Bert was nice and friendly and knowledgeable. I just wished that thew last shop would be Kee's so that I can get her chocolate the last as it needs refridgeration.

guide was great. B y fifth stop we had to much chocolate. Try to integrate i9nto a lunch st op.

Our guide, Bert, was very helpful and a real plus for the tour.

Bert, our tour guide, was very knowledgable, professional, and polite. He made the tour a lot of fun. We had a small group which was a plus. All of the stops on the tour had excellent chocolate. Well worth the time and money!

I brought my choco-holic adult Daughter to New York from Wisconsin for her Birthday. We went on the noon traditional tour and the 4 PM SOHO tour. Bert out tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. It was a great contrast to compare the two types of chocolates. The walking pace was appropriate so everyone could keep up. We were informed as to what to expect at each shop. Even though it rained, it was an informative, exciting, fun, and tasty tour. We would go again and recommend you take it if you like chocolate-and who doesn't?!?
