A dream come true

First off, being led by our exceptional host, Bert, to 5 chocolate shops where we got to sample and purchase, if we cared to, chocolates from 5 different countries was sublime
The manner in which Bert informed the group about the history of the different stores was unique. His delivery , through enthusiasm and lesser known facts about the individual chocolate makers , was fresh and memorable. Bert is sensational.
Regardless of the level of chocolate consumer you are, what I found most valuable was being able to contrast and compare the taste of the chocolates from the different countries. Thank you for creating such a tour. |

Wow! Before leaving on the tour I said it would be impossible for me to have too much chocolate. I ate all my samples, and had my fill of chocolate when the tour ended. We had Bert as our tour guide, and he was terrific. I will definately take a tour again. |

I can recommend this tour to everyone who loves chocolate and is interested in learning more about chocolate, its history and development. In addition esp. tourists get to know really nice und handsome places of high quality chocolate, which is so much more than just a candy. |

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! You became the highlight of my trip! Brad was so fun, sweet and knowledgeable, a PURE ENJOYMENT. From my running late and his being so helpful in making sure I could catchup with the group to the great descriptions of what we were eating (and eating and eating). I know more about chocolate then ever and have now tasted some of the best. I came away so full that the idea of dinner was pushed off till after 10pm. I also was able to buy some of the best gifts that my friends will ever receive so that they too can experience what I did!! Thank you. |

was at pickup early but the tour missed me

I was there early, very much looking forward to the tour, but somehow I missed it. I swear I was there, looking around, waiting for some one to make some type of announcement or hold a sign or something. No dice. But when I called the lady (who was very nice btw) with the company, I was told that 12 other people were had been picked up and they all made the tour!
Was the tour walking or riding on a bus? Just curious.
One problem could be that Sacks fifth avenue has at least 2 exits. Perhaps in future you could specify which one? I was walking back and forth between them, so as not to miss the tour, and maybe I missed the tour that way?
Also, maybe you could have your tour person make some kind of announcement or something to ensure that everyone gets picked up?
I guess if no one else has this problem then maybe it's me. :)
Anyway, have a nice life. |

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. |

I found the activity fun and informative. Bert was a great guide you could really feel the enthusiasm he had and made everyone feel very welcome and wanted us all to have a great time. The group was the right size to be able to chat and get to know fellow visitors between shops, we kept moving but did not feel rushed.Great fun! |

It was so much fun - I really recommend the tour to any chocolate addict!
Two pieces per store may seem too few at first but the chocolate you taste is so rich that it is just the right amount. The tour guide was great: knowledgeable, fun, enthousiastic and very passionate about chocolate! Thanks for the lovely afternoon! |

This tour was a nice small group so you didn't get lost in the crowd. It went to some choc shops i never new existed and they let you try a sample at each store. Very friendly guide. An interesting take on a NY to do list. |

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! |

I booked this tour but being the only person signed up, it was canceled (the tour requires a minimum of 2 ppl to run). However, I was offered the Union Square Chocolate, Wine & Culture Tour, which was excellent.
The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, which made the whole thing fun. The choice of ventures was good as well. I especially enjoyed the second shop. |

Fantastic Christmas Treat to Ourselves

We decided to do this as part of our Christmas Trip to NYC. What a fantastic tour. We felt like New Yorkers going to places they would only know about. I especially like Marie Belle Chocolates where you had to ring a bell to go upstairs, and the shop was decorated with French Provincial furniture. It was a delightful surprise. All the chocolate we tasted was delicous. |

We had an awesome guide who was so informative and passionate about chocolate. The samples were awesome and generous. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to all my traveling friends! I got alot of great ideas on recipes and packaging as I have just started my own chocolate business in Sydney. Thanks, I had a fantastic time. |
