"We wish to say a big thank you to chocolate espresso for delivering an informing and entertaining chocolate tasting session for us and our clients. Our guests really enjoyed tasting the beautiful chocolates and learning more about the history of chocolate making in Belgium. The raspberry and mint white chocolate crisp was a favourite choice!"

"I was looking for a fun team event for my team which was not too strenuous and allowed them to spend some social time together. I found the chocolate espresso website and the process was so easy to get our tour booked. We were lead on a fantastic journey in the Sydney CBD experiencing the best in coffee and chocolate. Shelagh was a delightful and informative host and was extremely accommodating of the needs of the group. Everyone in the team really enjoyed the tour and I would definitely recommend it."

Vanessa

"The tour was fantastic and an excellent bonding time for our team. We relaxed and had fun together and even learnt about the history of coffee and chocolate in Australia! Janet the tour guide was so friendly and made the experience all the more enjoyable (and informative!) for the whole team. We ate and drank so much that we won't be able to face chocolate for a week!!"

"Everyone had a really great time and enjoyed the experience immensely."

Margaret

"I would like to extend my deepest thanks to both yourself and our guide, Carmel for such a wickedly indulgent, tremendously rich and exquisitely fabulous chocolate espresso Teatime Treats Tour. I think I can speak for everyone when I say we had a magnificent time sampling and indulging our sweet tooth with our warm hearted and kind guide, Carmel. With more than my fair share of treats bought, I will definitely be recommending this tour to all my friends".

"Thanks for the fantastic tour on Saturday. Lyndall and I enjoyed it greatly, and it was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. Further, I have confirmed my long held belief that there is nothing wrong with chocolate for breakfast!"

Marsha

Hobart, Tas

"What a wonderful time we had on the 'chocolate walking tour' last Saturday. Jennifer, our guide, was exceptional in giving us information, not only on chocolate and coffee, but also the history of Sydney as we ambled through the streets. Thank heavens it was a walking tour because with all the chocolate we managed to shovel in we should have walked back to Cairns just to work it off. Thank you so much for organising us all, we really enjoyed it and have already started recommending it to friends."

Vivian

Cairns, Qld

"The chocolate espresso tour was wonderful....and thank you for pointing out those other chocolate shops along the way. We all really enjoyed hearing about coffee and cocoa, the way it is grown and the various processes involved before it reaches our lips. And of course the tastings were delicious. All the ladies said they enjoyed themselves!"

Lynne

Sydney Women's International Club

"On Saturday 14/3/09 my daughter and I did the chocolate & coffee walking tour in Sydney. I thought it was extremely well done and the guide, Sally, very friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend this tour to any friends that might be visiting Sydney and would consider 'doing' it again, should I be back in Sydney at some stage."

Kathryn

Perth, WA

"I just wanted to let you know the tour yesterday was absolutely fabulous and totally exceeded my expectations!! I knew it was going to be great but it was so much more!! We had such a ball - I actually felt like I was on an overseas holiday touring a city and taking in the history of the place - and yet it was Sydney!! Janet was amazing and did such a great job of conducting the tour and making it even more wonderful.

I am extremely grateful for your flexibility and allowing us to choose a better time for us to do the tour. To miss out on this opportunity would have been so disappointing. I loved it so much I am now thinking of people who I can give this experience to for Christmas or special occasions."

Belinda

Blue Mountains, NSW

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to both you and Sally for a great morning out for Siobhan's hens' day. All the girls who could make it had a fantastic time and were still talking about it at the wedding. I spoke to a couple of the girls who couldn't make it and some of them even said they had seriously contemplated changing their travel plans to make it to the hens’ do and skip the wedding!! Not sure they would have been brave enough to say that to the bride...

We all had a great time and I really appreciate the flexible approach to the tour itinerary you were able to offer. Thanks again for all your help in planning a fun and memorable day. Siobhan is now in Paris and on a mission to visit every Jeff de Bruges store in town.

All the best for the continued success of chocolate espresso."

Caitlin

Mosman, NSW

"What a wonderful time my friend and I had on Saturday's chocolate tour. Jennifer was a gracious guide and I really enjoyed the early Australian history part of the tour. Chocolate, coffee, a nice walk, friendly conversation, and spending money put us in such a happy and buoyant mood. It really was a lovely birthday present from my children."

Monica

Wahroonga, NSW

"The four of us had a great day. Janet was well informed and great company. The others in the group were fun loving too. We four finished the day with High Tea at the hotel where the tour ended. A day I'm sure we will talk about for quite a while."

John

Greystanes, NSW

"Thank you for making Saturday's tour so enjoyable. Certainly the cost of the tour was money well spent and the tour itself along with your informative talks on the historical sites and the basic history of the city were excellent. I have already recommended the tour to a number of people."

Warwick

Granville, NSW

"WOW! What a lovely morning we had with Jennifer on Saturday! Mum and I had such a great time - we loved hearing about the history of the buildings, we loved the company, we enjoyed drinking the coffee and hearing all about it and we were beside ourselves seeing/tasting/smelling all the wonderful chocolates!!!

The timing was perfect and the mix of places and the order we visited was obviously well planned. Jennifer was a lovely host - she has a very gentle and warm nature...and obviously enjoys her chocolate and coffee too.

Thank you so much for squeezing us in - we really appreciate it. As I can well vouch - people have to book ahead!!"

"I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful tour that my daughter Sarah and I went on recently. Apart from the delicious chocolates, superb coffee and wonderful company we were very impressed by your interesting and informative tour of Sydney. It was also a wonderful opportunity to have such an intimate tour and insight into the unknown chocolate and coffee shops in Sydney. I will certainly be telling all my friends about this wonderful tour and will make it a regular 'revitalising' event."

Cathy

Taren Point, NSW

"I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed the Sweet Sunday tour that I went on this past Sunday morning. The guide, Sally, was friendly, well informed and entertaining and the chocolate we tasted with simply amazing. Not only did I get to indulge, I learnt interesting facts about Sydney and discovered places and shops I wasn't aware of previously. I am going to highly recommend your tour to my friends and family."

Steven

"Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed the sweet sunday tour yesterday. Our son in the Middle East gave us the tour as a birthday treat and we have reported back what a great present it was. Sally the guide was excellent - she gave us a lot of information about coffee and chocolate as well as pointing out historical places as we walked around. All the places we visited were welcoming and we came home with our sample bag full of treats. We didn't need a large dinner that night ..."

Helen and John

"What a perfect start to the day with a chocolate espresso tour. We had a great time indulging, learning and experiencing all about coffee, chocolate and Sydney. Staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating and the best thing is that the tours are 'wheelchair accessible'. I would recommend spoiling yourself with a 'sweet sunday' tour any time."

Louise Sauvage

"I wanted to let you know how much Kathy and I enjoyed the chocolate and coffee tour yesterday. It was great to try all the different chocolates and learn about chocolate and coffee. Sally was just lovely and made the tour really interesting. We had a great time and will be sure to recommend the tour."

Jarrod

"Just to let you know we greatly enjoyed our chocolate espresso tour last Sunday. Sally was a wonderful guide and led us on an exotic chase of both coffee and chocolate delights. Many thanks for this creative experience on a lovely Sunday."

Helen and Andrew

"Thank you for your fabulous tour this morning. I want you to know what a fantastic idea it was to put such a chocolate/coffee tour together. From the first aroma of the coffee to the succulent taste of the accompanying chocolate brownie, I knew I was in for a treat. It was absolute heaven and to be able to enjoy this, in the presence of other chocolate/coffee lovers, helped me to appreciate how overwhelmingly excellently the two go together. Not to mention the other delightful treats along the tour, I truly felt I was in chocolate heaven."

Mary

St Peters, NSW

"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful experience yesterday. My husband and I did the tour with Janet and I would like to pass on my thanks to both of you. What a great day - a pleasure for Sydneysiders to see the city at its quietest and not the everyday hustle and bustle that we all live with.

The experience was wonderful - my husband thoroughly enjoyed the experience as did I - it was a xmas present to my husband - thank you again for such a wonderful guide as Janet who kept us in stitches. We thoroughly enjoyed the coffee/chocolates."

Kerry

"Thank you both for the wonderful 'Sweet Sunday' tour that we came on a couple of weeks ago.

Your professionalism was of top class and we loved all the facts and figures! It was great to find out little bits of information about the city that we live in. We thought there was a perfect mix of coffee and chocolate and the group size was spot on. We left feeling very full and very satisfied.

We think that the tour is great value for money and we can't stop telling our friends about what great fun it was.

Congratulations ladies on such a successful venture, we look forward to reading many articles on your success over years to come!

Thanks again and Bill loved having this as his birthday present."

"Just wanted to say that we had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the tour on Sunday! I'll definitely be recommending it to all of my clients!"

Travel agent from NZ

"A big THANK YOU for your efforts to keep the tour a secret from Malcolm. We loved and savoured every second of it with Jennifer as our guide yesterday. It was one of those days one has in their life that will never be forgotten. Informative, experiential - a real pleasure and worth every cent. All the very best. We shall be shouting its praises to our clients."

Kings Langley, NSW

"We thoroughly enjoyed the tour on Sunday, with Carmel a wonderful, friendly guide, making us feel welcome and comfortable. Her conversations with us about chocolate and coffee were both interesting and well-informed. We especially welcomed the opportunity to have pointed out various historic buildings and monuments we would otherwise be unaware of. Carmel's wealth of information and knowledge added another dimension to the tour and of course it goes without saying the chocolate was divine and finishing the walk at the five star hotel was an experience we enjoyed too."

Ingham, Qld

"Just a quick note to say how much we loved our tour with Janet last Sunday. It was fantastic although we didn't want to eat anything sweet for the rest of the day! Which is not a bad thing. We really enjoyed ourselves and will tell everyone that is going to Sydney they need to check out your tours! We thought Janet was a brilliant tour guide. Thanks again."

Visitors to Sydney from NZ
