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, 09   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.

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.

Our guide Bert was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgable regarding the making of chocolate. It was wonderful to walk the neighborhoods, get information about what we saw, as well as learn about the different nuances of each shops selection of chocolate. I will recommend it to all of my friends traveling to NYC as somehting unique and different to try.

I do not consider myself a "chocoholic" but this amazing tour through the beautiful streets of Soho could make me into one! The tour guide was fun and informative and he provided just enough background and insights. I would definitely sign up again and for other tours as well.

Loved this tour! This is the second tour I've had where Bert was our guide. Wow! He is just awesome! We loved everything about this tour -- great chocolate, great locations, great guide, great weather! Couldn't have been happier. I wouldn't hesitate to tour again, especially with Bert.

TONS OF CHOCOLATE -- GREAT EXPERIENCE!

My boyfriend and I went on the chocolate tour during a weekend in NYC. We both love chocolate and were very excited about the tour after reading numerous positive reviews. We actually missed our original tour due to a delayed flight, but Bert and Carmen were more than willing to get us on another tour the next day. They were amazing to accommodate us! The tour was incredible and we highly recommend it for all you chocolate lovers out there! The tour goes by fairly quickly, there is minimal walking, and you get to sample NYC's best chocolates. I never thought I could have "too much chocolate" but this tour will surprise you! Bert was also an incredibly fun and knowledgeable tour guide. Overall, great experience and tons of fun!

Wonderful tour!

I always love walking around cities when I travel. But, not only did we get to see parts of New York, we also to taste and learn about chocolate! Bert, our guide, was terrific in answering all of our questions and giving us his opinions on what to sample! This was truly a unique experience and I would recommend it highly!

Excellant tour with very knowledgable tour guide.
Sat, Oct 3, 09   12:00 PM Bertfam Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was great. The tour guide "Bert" was very knowledgable about the content. We learned a lot of information about chocolate that we never knew. Especially regarding the various methods that are used to make the various types of chocolate.. (American, English, Irish, French, Belgium). You learn what tastes you like the most. All the chocolate was great. You do need to be a chocolate lover (as most of us are). You will definitely sample quite a bit of chocolate. All shops were very attentive to us. The walk inbetween shops was just enough. Glad the shops were not so close together after eating the chocolate in each shop. Terriffic job.............

Great 2 1/2 hours!

Once again, Bert did a great job. This was our second tour with him, the first in Greenwich Village. He is very knowledgeable about the chocolate, the places we went to, and just about the CIty. I would definitely (and do) recommend these tours. It was a great 2 1/2 hours!

University of Chocolate
Fri, Oct 2, 09   12:00 PM BenMignardi Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
It's everything you ever wanted to know about chocolate. A great education about the delicacy. For example, chocolate comes from a fruit. At least, that's what I gathered. Guess it makes it an essential part of a balanced diet. Be prepared to tip the scales after the tour though, many chocolate samples later. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. Bravo!!! It's a must do while in New York. If you're going to eat chocolate, you may as well learn about. This tour pulls off both items rather nicely...

Great Experience
Sat, Sep 26, 09   12:00 PM ericbrice123 Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
My wife and I went on the European Chocoloate Tour as a gift for her birthday. My wife really enjoys chocolate and I thought this would be a great way to spend an afternoon. It turned out to be a great decision and we both had a wonderful time - here is why. First, our guide (Bert) was really awesome. He was engaging and informational, knew everyone at the shops and was just very pleasant to spend two hours with. Second, it was fun walking around trying different cholocates and learning why various countries have a different approach which leads to different tastes. Third, our guide was awesome. Seriously, I have been on many of these types of tours (various cities throughout the world and in the US and in different formats) but the single most important aspect is the tour guide. Plus, you are guaranteed to get Bert because he does all the tours. You will have a great time for a very reasonable price. We followed-up by going to a wine bar then out to dinner. I make this point to highlight that you don't gouge yourself on chocolate but you get enough great and different tastes to enjoy the event. I promise, I am not always so complimentary when I provide these reviews. This just happened to be a very good experience.

We celebrated a 50th birthday party in NYC and this was part of our trip. We had such a great time visiting the shops and touring the city. Bert was awesome! I would highly recommend this tour to someone that loves chocolate and is looking for something a bit different in NYC.

This tour was a present from me to a friend who was celebrating a major birthday, and it did not disappoint. We had a terrific couple of hours with our guide Bert and the others on the tour. Bert managed to deliver an amazing amount of information about chocolate, while at the same time answering every question in a relaxed, thouughtful and humorous way. I confess that at the beginning of the tour I thought that getting 2 samples at each shop didn't sound like much. Wrong! These are samples of very rich chocolates and we were in fact given extra samples or tastes of hot chocolate at several shops. Our samples turned out to be so filling that we didn't want to eat them all right then. We COULD have, but were very, very happy that we had taken a plastic container to save some for later. I heartily recommend this as a way to appreciate each type of chocolate -- and, I heartily recommend this tour.
