My two kids and I (11 & 15) went on the Luxury Chocolate tour lead by Burt. I expected it to be fun, but the tour exceeded those expectations. It was the "Burt Factor"! Burt was a delight, fun and pleasant but beyond that, he really knows chocolate - EVERYTHING about chocolate, and I thought I knew it all. He also was happy to answer so many other questions I had about visiting the city, and we followed his advice with great result. I will tell everyone that this tour is a MUST on their what to do in NYC list! |

REALLY enjoyed our tour guide, who gave us just enough background info and LOVED the wine and chocolate pairings!! I had both chocolates and wines that I probably would not have chosen on my own, but now have learned enough to be dangerous when I go out!!! GREAT time and worth it!!! |

I went on the NYC New Cuisine Chocolate Tour and it was amazing. I tried all kinds of chocolates that I have never seen or tasted before and it was unique experience. I also proposed to my girlfriend on this tour and the tour guide, Bert was so helpful and helped me set everything up and it was perfect! I highly recommend going on this tour, you won't regret it! I am definitely going back on the Luxuxy tour next time! |

The NYC Luxury Chocolate Tour was a really good time and highly educational. I have lived in NYC for over 5 years but had never visited any of the shops on the tour. Our tour guide, Bert, was unbelievable knowledgeable about the chocolates themselves and how they are made. I would definitely make a point to request Bert as your tour guide. He was amazing! |

As a resident of neighboring NJ, I enjoy seeking out different things to do in NYC. When I came across the chocolate tour, I knew right away that it was a must for this chocolate lover and I didn't have to do much convincing for two friends to join me. It did not disappoint. Tour guide Burt was knowledgeable about how and where chocolate is made, the history, and the differences among the many chocolatiers. He was genuinely enthusiastic and seemed to be enjoying himself just as much as we were. Despite being regular NYC visitors, we were unaware of some of the places we visited and enjoyed his description of the offerings at each shop so that we could make informed decisions about what to try. The tour company could enrich the experience further with some kind of handout with, say, a history of chocolate, what to look for in chocolate, and maybe even a chocolate-related souvenir. |

This was a fun tour. Of course the chocolate tasted great and we were encouraged to try unusual tastes. Also, the tour guide was excellent and the tour was leisurely. We learned a lot about how chocolate was made as well as background on how each of the shops got started. The area of the city (SoHo) was also fun to see. Probably best not to do this tour in very hot weather. |

The pace for this tour was good, we visited 5 locations with samples at each. As a local I wanted to be introduced to places I did know. The discovery of the Maribel shop was a gem. The tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend this tour. |

We have been on two New York Cultures Tours and they have both been fantastic.
Last year we did the Food and Culture Tour with Berry.
This year we did the Wine and Chocolate Culture tour with Burt.
As I have said ,both were great, Burt and Berry are excellent guilds.
We have recommended these tours to our friends who have all a great and informative time on the tours.
When we plan our next visit to nyc a New York Tour with yourselves is a must.
Kind regards. |

I really enjoyed the balance of chocolate and non-chocolate items since you can get worn out from so much sweet deliciousness! Tour was fun, social, great guide, nice places and amazing food. Highly recommend this to anyone who lives in another neighborhood. I'll certainly be back to some of the locations when I visit in the future. |

Bert (the tour guide) was friendly and extremely knowlegable. The tour group was a good size. The chocolate is amazing and I learned a lot! The only down side was that if you take a tour in the warm weather you cannot bring chocolate home as easily. I am already planning my next tour. Don't eat a big lunch before the chocolate tour! |

What a great tour, the chocolate tasting was great and our tour guide was very informative. We did mention that it was our 38th anniversary so maybe an extra piece of the deliciious chocolate (not candy) would have been special. Will recommend it to anyone. The chocolatiers were also very gracious and polite. Thanks |

The group was small and the guide absolutely lovely. The guide had readjusted the venues which we would visit based on the date on which we were going and it worked out perfectly. NO ONE KNOWS MORE ABOUT CHOCOLATE THAN HE DID! it was just so absolutely pleasant that I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in chocolate. Not only were we provided with tasty chocolate, but also with a bit of history to each venue we visited along with explanations regarding the individual chocolates.
I was floored when our guide was able to recommend to us in which order we should eat our chocolate for full taste effect along with which way around(!!) to eat it to get the right taste.
this was just absolutely enjoyable. |
