I brought my girlfriend for her Birthday. She is passionate about chocolate and I wanted to do something that she would get something out of. She had a great time and although she knows a lot about chocolate she still learned a lot. Myself, not being nearly as studied on the topic had a great time as well. |

Our tour guide had lots of interesting information about new york and the process of making chocolate. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon. But a little pricey. |

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. |

It was an excellent experience. Our tour guide Bert/Burt, was amazing! I had signed up for the tour with my girlfriend for her Birthday, and before the tour began I wrote a couple of notes regarding food allergies and our reason for the tour. Come the tour date, the first thing our guide did after greeting us was wish my girlfriend a warm happy birthday, which I thought was quality. He clearly knew everything there is to know about chocolate, and made the tour exciting, informative, and fun.
These chocolate stores are delicious as well! Definitely unforgettable and to be revisited. Divalicious, Marie Belle, Vosges, Kee, and Jacques Torres are all unique in flavor as well as their personalities. It was a great time, and a very enjoyable 2 hr tour. |

My wife and I love chocolate, so it was only natural to sign up for the New Cuisine Chocolate tour on our recent visit to the city. First of all, Bert was excellent. He was a great host and made the tour very enjoyable. Our five stops with diverse tastings exposed us to shops we would never have found on our own. Bert's knowledge of the NYC chocolate scene and his friendship with the shop owners and staff, gave us the inside look and taste of top of the line sweets. We highly recommend this tour as a unique was to experience the city and give your tongue a memorable choco-orgasm! |

My wife and I had a blast. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and chose some very good spots. After 10 pieces of chocolate (2 at each stop), a few additional samples, and two double shot sizes of hot chocolate, we were ready to go into a chocolate comma. If you love chocolate, you'll love this. If you're looking to learn, and not eat, don't waste your time, as the chocolate fun is all about eating chocolates. A bit pricey, but if you can handle spending the money, you're sure to have a good time. |
