A Great Birthday Present

The choice of shops was great! It was really interesting to see so many places that I did not know existed even after living in NYC for so many years. It was great to pass by the Lindt and Godiva shops without so much of even a mention. The tour guide was friendly and knew a lot about chocolate. I would suggest this to New Yorkers and visitors as a great "beneath the surface" was to explore NYC.

I took my wife on this tour as part of an anniversary celebration trip to New York. It was wonderful. Bert, our tour guide, was knowledgeable about not only chocolate, but also about the history behind each of the shops we visited. I would definitely attend another tour. The chocolate samples were delectable. My only complaint is we could not have more!

For two chocoholics, we were in chocolate heaven. Curt our tour guide was waiting for us inside the first store. We lucked out and had a private tour, since the other group had cancelled. That was good news for us, but not for Curt. I'm sure our tip didn't help him much, hopefully he got some of the $70 from our tickets. The price was nearly twice that of the Foods of NY tour we took the next day. For the money, this one was not worth it. Although we really enjoyed it, it was pricey. We went to 5 high end chocolate shops. Curt knew everything about making chocolates and knew each shop owner. He gave personal recommendations, but we were able to select two chocolates from each shop. We also got hot chocolate in one shop and sipping chocolate in another, as well as a cupcake. We weren't able to eat it all and started wrapping it to go near the end. It was a great tour, but if you only have time for one - I recommend the Food of NY tours - either Greenwich Village or Chelsea Meatpacking District.

I took my step mom as a gift. She is a real chocoholic. We LOVED the tour. Bert was great. Sometimes tour guides can be cheesy, but Bert was not at all. He was pleasant, informative, fun, and laid back. We had a GREAT time. The chocolate was great. A real fun way to see the city. We ended the day with dinner at Max Brenner. Yum!

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 got tickets to this as both a valentine's day gift for my chocoholic husband as well as a birthday gift for my sister-in-law. We all went together and had a great time. Discovered some wonderful new places and just really enjoyed spending the day out together in this manner. Aside from the fact that all the chocolate along the way was absolutely divine, the tour itself is a very original and fun way to spend an afternoon in mid-town.

The tour exceeded my expectations and I loved it!

I didn't think five small chocolate shops in New York would have so much history to offer and such delicious chocolates! I'm glad I set my expectations low because it was a nice surprise, but even if they had been high, I would've been equally impressed!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone of any age! The tour guide was very enthusiastic and provided interesting information that I will actually hold on to! The tour group was very friendly and a good crowd to be around. The eleven block walk seemed to take only a few minutes because there was constant conversation and great information. In addition, the chocolate was outstanding! Certain shops allowed us to pick our own chocolate - based on recommendations of course - and the suggestions were great. I feel like the value from this tour was unbelievable and I would definitely go again.

best choco confections i've ever tasted.

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.

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 Tour
The Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour
Fri, Feb 8, 08   3:30 PM karenkennedy Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Great tour, very informative, learned a lot about the history of chocolate, where it is grown, how it evolved. Especially loved the tastings and pairing the chocolate with wine as well as the variety of types of chocolate and other pastries. We have recommended this tour to several of our friends who would like to take the same tour when next they are in New York.
