Philadelphia Chocolate Tours

My sister and my mom came from Brasil to visit us and I bought this tour, We just LOVED!!!!!!! Thanks Sarah, you were great!!!!!
We all had a wonderfull time!!!!!

We had a great time on the tour. Our guide was very personable and knowledgable about the city and the shops we were visiting. Every shop was a new experience and the shop owners were very friendly and helpful.

Thank you so much for such the GREAT Philadelphia Chocolate Tour. We all really enjoyed our time on the tour and with the group.
What a "treat" to experience such a "Delicious" time!! Definitely a highlight of our time in Philadelphia.

Thanks for sharing the pictures from the trip. What fun to see.
We will add them to our scrap book.

Sincerely,
Julie Wolff and family

We experienced a great tour with our guide, Angie. Our group was small, just the two of us, but she provided great insight into the city and the chocolate samples were wonderful! We understand that a tour is also available in the Chicago area. We will see you there!
We have been on another food tour and offer that the following would be helpful:
1. A booklet/brochure that covers the businesses that are visited so we can return and recommend them to friends.
2. Discount coupons for those business in the booklet/brochure so when we visit after the tour the discount is still available. We have observed this method of advertising while on a NYC food tour and found it to be very well received. It is cumbersome to make multiple purchases when touring, but a coupon brings guests back when they can make planned (and larger) purchases.
3. Offering each guest a free bottle of water at the beginning of the tour would be thoughtful and gets the tour off to a great start.
We really enjoyed our tour with Angie and look forward to touring with your company when we are in Chicago later this summer.

Hello, Dave and Debbie!

Thank you for your wonderful comments about Angie! She a a wonderful Tourguide!

We also appreciate your comments and suggestions to improve the tour. We love getting feedback from customers and is a great way to judge our progress as a growing company. We will think about your suggestions!

I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour!

Best,
Jean

Had lots of fun and was a new and different concept for a day trip. However, we were disappointed w/ the samples- with exception of the choc chip cookie from 4th st, all were barely bite sized... looking at the pictures on the web site, we were expecting decadent cupcakes, moose's etc. We brought a lunch bag to bring home the leftovers and put nothing in it. My kids who gave me the tour for Christmas were very upset as they had been advised this would be a major chocoholic high. Hope this helps in your planning going forward.

Hello, Lynn

Thank you for joining us on a tour and I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed! We've experimented with different amounts of samples, and we want to give you enough that you're happy with the tasting and savoring, without pushing anyone into a chocolate coma, since with a quality product, a little can go a long way! It's a very subjective thing of course, and I apologize that you thought there wasn't enough chocolate.

Please feel free to reach out to us at (215) 833-0044 or at info@philadelphiachocolatetours.com with any other comments and concerns.

Thank you again!

Best,
Jean

I had to write and tell you what a wonderful time we had on our Chocolate Tour!My friend and I, both retired teachers, spent a fabulous afternoon with Angie. We were the only people scheduled for the day, so we had our own private tour. Angie is a real gem and we enjoyed her company and conversation as much as the chocolate infoshe gave us. We were 3 "girls" having a great afternoon in the city!

You also provided a beautiful breezy day, following days of scorching hot weather. I don't know how you managed that!

I've been telling everyone I know about your tours and I'm sure I'll back for a second round. Thank you.

HI Jenny, its John.We had such a great time and I have told everyone. You were such a great host. Not only was it fun but also very informative. Thanks for making this a great day for my wife and I.

What a fun tour. We live in the 'burbs and are familiar with Philly, but we learned new things. The tour guide was charming and informative. And oh, the chocolates! I recommend this tour to anyone who loves the elixir of the gods and wants to have some fun.

What a fun day!! I have recommended this tour to ALL of my friends. Can't beat the price for the amount of fun and chocolate!!!

We just got home from our tour and it was marvelous! Sarah was a great guide and shared some terrific history as well as chcolate with us. We loved all of the stops and plan to do the tour in Philly again.

My boyfriend and I took the Valentine's special Chocolate & Champagne tour tonight. We had Jaylene as our tourguide and she was wonderful! She was so personable, upbeat, and friendly. Even though she had done the tour already today, she gave ours as if it was her first. She really did a great job! We will be recommeding this tour to fellow chocolate lovers and hopefully taking our moms for Mother's day! Thanks Jaylene!

FABULOUS!!!!

My wife and I took the tour Saturday 1/15/11 with Julia as our guide. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Julia was a font of knowledge about chocolate and the shops on the tour. She added a personal sparkle to the tour. We will be back for another round. . .once we work off the calories from this past one.

This was a marvelous Christmas present from my daughter. Both being Chocoholics we had a refreshing walk between sampling & hearing the wonderful history of chocolate. Ours was a rainy day, but it did not dampen our spirits. Our guide was very enlightening & bubbly & we appreciated her. The only thought I had to help the tour was that it was only one way & people had to make it back to their transportation as best they could. It would be better not to just be dropped but to offer a ride back somehow. But otherwise I would highly recommend this tour.

Truly loved the tour today, January 8th. The snow was invigorating and made us enjoy the Italian hot chocolate at the end of the tour all the more. Our tour guide, Jaylene was phenomenal. All the employees at shops we visited were friendly and helpful. I plan on coming again for one of the other tours to try more chocolate! Thanks for a great day.

This was a Christmas present from my son while we were visiting from out of state. The tour was full but you managed to fit us in. Thank you. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. Katrina did a great job.

I went on Saturday the 17th and our guide was brilliant! It was a great experience and I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

Hi Jenny,

Just wanted to let you know that my family and me all enjoyed the chocolate tour immensely!! I thought my husband, son and daughter, would be upset with me for making them do the tour (it was my birthday) and they all admitted that they liked it more than they thought they would. I have three new favorite chocolate places and I can't wait to re-visit them again.

Thanks again,

Hi Amy,
The tour was great. Perfect for our group as they were mostly from out of town and wanted to be able to walk around the city. Katrina was a great host and kept things moving.

Good luck with your business. I always look for activities like this as it is great team building keeping everyone together and gives them something memorable versus spending the entire meeting in the hotel.

Take care,
John

My best friend treated me to the Chocolate Tour for my Birthday! What a really nice gift it was! We had lots of fun tasting the chocolates. We bought extra goodies to take homee and we fell in love with the The Classic Champagne Truffle at Teuscher Chocolates! Kudos to our Tour Guide - she was fabulous and so informative about chocolate.

Hello,
We all had a wonderful time, and Andrea was great. The pictures are a lovely bonus! Thank you, and have a good weekend.

We really enjoyed the tour and Katrina was an awesome tour guide!

I was on the (delicious) Philadelphia Chocolate Tour this past Wednesday, Andrea was our guide, and she did a terrific job!

This tour was really fun and really yummy! The tour guide was great but, just one complaint...the cupcake place was out of cupcakes when we got there!!! Bummer!

Mika, thanks for your nice comments! We're working with the cupcake place to solve this problem, and I'm sorry it affected you. Please feel free to call us or email us anytime at 215-833-0044 or info@philadelphiachocolatetours.com with any further comments, and we'll reach out to you with gift certificates too so you can come back and take a full tour.
Thanks, and have a sweet day!
Best,
