Tour was fast moving and informative, not to mention tasty!! Our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. While we were in one establishment a customer, not on the tour, asked who she was and how did she know so much about chocolate. Definitely a must do for chocolate lovers!! |

Thought price was a little high for length of tour. Tour was at a leisurely pace. Guide was very knowledgeable and informative. It was a very pleasant experience. Group was small which made it easier to follow guide and to ask questions. Would highly recommend. |

We had a great experience our guide was very well informed and very personable. We would never have found several of the shops we visited on our own and will take another of her tours when we return to the city |

The tour is great, the places we visit for the most part are wonderful. I would strongly recommend NOT visiting the chocolatier in SAKS. Of the 4 pieces we had, only 1 was somewhat enjoyable. I never throw away chocolate and we threw away all the left overs from there. We didn't even want to finish the pieces. It was very interesting to taste the Queen's favorite but that was all.
Overall though it was quite enjoyable especially for us as chocolate lovers. It is different and the walking is not too much. A little more technical information would also be great. We got a little bit at one of the locations but a 10-15 talk about shaping, melting, what it means to have white spots and what various mixtures to the chocolate, %, would have made the tour EXCELLENT!
Our guide Leslye was wonderful. |

My two daughteres gave this tour to my wife for mother;s day. She is a chocoholic. It was hte most pleasant day we had as a family. Almost too much chocolate and i am sorry we did not buy much in the first location, but a wonderful experience for the palate!!!!!!!! |

We were a group of 9 and our tour guide Lindsay was great. The tour itself was very informative and we sampled some of the best chocolate I've ever had. The locations we stopped at were some that most probably walk right past and wouldn't even know were there...except for the chocolate shop at Saks I'm sure. Overall, it as a wonderful experience and one that will definitely be recommended. |

Overpriced

Very disappointing and super overpriced! Tour was a combination of visiting 5 stores, tasting all together 10 pieces of chocolate per person, 2 chocolate drinks, and a nice tour guide, we had very pleasant conversations with. However, we could have done this on our own, with-out spending $140 !!!! for 2 persons. The stores we visited was a combination of American and European chocolate makers. Two stores had VERY BAD quality chocolate ( American and Irish) As passionated chocolate lovers remaining chocolate samples landed in the garbage!!! We learned nothing new about chocolate, chocolate making or otherwise. Not recommended at all!!! |

The tour was a birthday gift for a chocoholic friend and it didn't disappoint! What a great chance to see Soho and try exotic treats one might not be daring enough to try on their own. Our tour guide, Bert, was awesome. He made the event even more enjoyable with his knowledge and great personality.
The only negative comment is that the last place on the tour, which was a cheesecake shop, was a bit anti-climactic after the fantastic chocolate shops we visited - however, the cheesecake was excellent! |

I enjoyed all the chocolates, especially the hot chocolate!! But I do think more should be included for $70. Ten pieces of chocolate and little info. The guide was very nice, and we had a small group (4) . I expected to learn more about each chocolate shop, their history, their process and the history and making of chocolate.
Instead we got info on the guides favorite chocolates and the texture of the chocolates. At the last stop she did pull out a book and gave some tid-bits of info on chocolate. More info during the tour would have made the stroll through the city interesting and worth the fee. |

My husband and I went on the SoHo Chocolate Tour as part of our anniversary celebration, and it was a fantastic time. Even though we live in the city, we were only familiar with one of the places our guide took us. Our guide, Matt, was knowledgeable and easygoing. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. |

This tour was a great unique way to tour NYC and enjoy delicious chocolate at the same time. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable about all 5 stops we made and the chocolates offered. Most importantly my girlfriend loved the tour and all of the chocolate she got to sample. I would highly recommend this tour to any couple that enjoys chocolate. |

The tour was enjoyable and it was a nice way to spend time with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. However, going into this I didn't know what to expect but I left feeling like I expected more. For the amount of money, I feel like we could have looked up chocolate shops in the area and toured them ourselves asking the shop keepers for information on the chocolates. The tour wasn't that valuable. Also, a few days before the tour, the company asked us to move the tour time later in the day to accommodate other customers. We obliged and were told we would be given something extra as a thanks for doing so. We didn't end up receiving anything special. I don't mean for this to sound totally negative, we did enjoy the day but it was more about spending time with my family. |

We have previously taken the Midtown chocolate tour, so when we were back in town we signed up for the SoHo tour, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves again. Our guide was friendly and knowledgable and provided good descriptions and suggestions at each stop we made. In future trips we will return to the chocolate shops we visited, but we will not return to the cheesecake shop. While the cheesecake tasted fine, that stop was out of place with the chocolate shops, and we witnessed an employee (owner?) berating our guide over not charging enough on the credit card. If there isn't another chocolate shop in the area to add to the tour, then do a different dessert location that treats others kindly. |
