2nd time on this tour! Review by sweetdreams
Your rating Took this tour twice I loved it so much.
The first time my boyfriend bought as I present to me. I had such a great time and thought it was so different and fun that I booked it as a girls afternoon out for a few of my friends. You dont just get to taste chocolate; you walk away with a new appreciation for what chocolate is, where it comes from, how the handmade chocolate you try on this tour, differs from commercial chocolate. The guide is the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was lucky enough to get Bert on both tours that I booked. He remembered me! Which I though was super cool. You can just tell that he absolutely LOVES his job.
I would love that job too! Are you guys hiring chocolate tour guides????

fulloftruffles Review by Chocolate chocolate chocolate
Your rating This was a present from my son. I have a great son! My husband and I really had no idea what to expect. We were simply blown away by the guides, sincerity in really and truly wanting us to enjoy our experience. He walked us through a fascinating history of chocolate and then in each shop he described every single piece of chocolate with such passion and thoroughness that my only complaint was I could never decide what to try! I loved that we got to pick our own at all 4 shops! Burt was great. Chocolate were superb and the shop owners were beyond welcoming.
you have to take this tour! Ask for Burt! (Posted on 14/01/2011) -
Chocolate tour Review by kmbke
Your rating I have never heard of chocolate tours until moving to NYC. It may sound a little silly, but it was surprisingly entertaining and delicious. Our tour guide (I don't remember his name) was amazing! He was such a great guide, he knew the ins and outs of chocolate itself, the chocolate making process, and basically everything that you never even think about when buying chocolate. It was enlightening to say the least! And his great sense of humor made it enjoyable (unlike some lecture-type tours). As you walk from shop to shop he talks about the city itself, cool facts about different buildings and history, etc.
Now for the chocolate. Oh my goodness, if you have not been to these "chocolate boutiques" you do not know what you are missing!! Unlike 'regular' chocolate you buy in the store, these were melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness! and we got to try a whole range of flavors (from salty to passionfruit to caipirinha). I will only buy chocolate from those stores now, nothing compares.
Even as a new yorker, the tour was still fun and the chocolate of course, unlike anything I've ever had. I totally recommend Celebrity Planet Chocolate Tour for any woman (or man) who appreciates chocolate, whether you live here or are just visiting. (Posted on 14/01/2011) -
Taste of the Town! Review by ompapa
Your rating Balsamic chocolate! Bacon chocolate! I never in my life knew that these types of chocolates existed! This tour has it all. There are also less daring and more classic pieces to try as well. Our guide, Burt, was so good at getting us to try things outside of our usual realm of tastes...and I am so glad he did! My favourtie aspect of this tour was that we got to choose out pieces at each shop to try. Nothing was "set aside" for us. We chose from the case. And the shops seemed genuinely excited to see Burt. It was like being with a chocolate celebrity! We also got to see parts of NY that we would not get to see on one of those impersonal double decker buses. Love love loved this tour!

Mmmmm Review by chocoholic
Your rating This was by far the best chocolate I have ever tasted! The shops were beautiful! We actually got to meet some of the owners and chocolatiers. Bert was the best guide ever! Great walk, great neighborhoods that we also got to learn about on top of tasting amazing chocolate. I highly recommended this tour for anyone looking for something different to do.

Beyond Fantastic! Review by henry
Your rating We have taken other tours with this company and were lucky enough to have the same guide. This was so much fun! We learned everything there is to know about chocolate and tasted the best chocolate I have ever had! We actually got to meet the owners and chocolatiers of the shops! Bert was just great! Extremely personable, funny and man does this guy know his chocolate! The shops were so excited to see him and welcomed our group with open arms! This tour was the highlight of my 4 day New York City adventure! Thanks Bert! (Posted on 29/07/2010)
