Explore the world of “haut-chocolate” and join me on an exclusive luxury journey to discover Sydney’s hidden chocolate gems.
Now let me warn you, my friend, this is not your usual tour, so be prepared for a gourmet experience like no other. Here are some of things that make the Mytinerary 'Ultimate Sydney Chocolate Tour' and 'Round-the-World Chocolate Tour' stand out:
1. Discover Sydney like you've never seen before, as we reveal some of Sydney's hidden gems and best kept secrets. Travel in style to some of our most iconic precincts - from The Rocks to Kirribilli and Darlinghurst - and soak in their vibrant village atmosphere.
2. Your private guide and passionate foodie - aka 'moi' - has the local knowledge and insider access to bring you an authentic, unforgettable cultural experience.
3. Treat yourself to a truly indulgent experience - and the only luxury gourmet experience of its kind in Sydney. We've taken the headache out of planning so sit back, relax, forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and let the good times roll.
4. The Ultimate Sydney Chocolate Tour is not "just" about food... It's also an enriching cultural journey which takes you from Mexico to Sydney by way of Paris, Brussels, Edinburgh and even the Philippines. And we're talking music, art and business along the way!
5. Discover rare and exquisite flavours. Taste a sumptuous selection of artisan chocolate ganaches, truffles, pralines and macarons. Enjoy some of Sydney's creamiest, most decadent hot chocolates.
6. Just to get you salivating, some of the edible gems you taste on the day include milk chocolate and passionfruit macarons, dark chocolates with Filipino lime, banana and salted caramel truffles, dark hot chocolate with rose and black pepper, milk chocolate bars with pinenuts and sea-salt caramel, single-origin dark chocolate from Madagascar and the Caribbeans, water ganache with Thai basil - and so much more.
7. Interact with some of the most passionate, generous, creative and talented chocolate artisans you've ever met.
8. Learn about the chocolate-making process and fascinating world of 'single origin' chocolates, the 'creme de la creme' of chocolates.
9. Get credits in your karma bank thanks to generous social initiatives, so you can feast on chocolate guilt-free!
10. Gorgeous gift certificates are available. So now's the best time to spoil yourself and your loved ones with a Christmas, birthday or anniversary gift idea that stands out. Just contact us on [email protected] to organise.

I should have never read this at lunch time. Now meh want!

Hey Myriam and all fellow lovers of the ultimate life...
There are four more things you'll love about Myriam's deluxe artisan chocolate tours;
1) You'll laugh a lot. I haven't had so much fun in ages. It's a 'feel good' as well as an 'eat good' experience;
2) You'll share the experience with other lovers of wonderful living. Myriam just seems to attract fabulous people;
3) You'll hear Myriam describe tour highlights in French (if you ask her nicely). This adds another amazing dimension to the tour;
4) You'll be begging for more. This trip will reset your luxury experience gimbals. Once you've tried it, there's no going back. I hear there's an ultimate Paris experience coming up! :)
Well done, Myriam.
Best, Robin

Hello Myriam
Your chocolate tour took my breath away, not simply because of the scrumptious experience, but my cultural senses were satiated.
At the end of the day I was overflowing with Joy.
I'm going to post a report on my blog when I'm in New York, after I've experienced a chocolate tour in NYC. I feel sure you have raised the bar in this niche market, a point I will make in bold, and underlined.
Your tours are not only about chocolate, they are a cultural experience, and one Sydney is well able to support.
All the best my dear M ~ you deserve every success.
Warm regards
DMW

Robin > Well, my friend, thanks a lot for your very kind word - means a lot to me...
It's true I haven't laughed that much in a long time, our little expedition was really fun, wasn't it?! Well, in a way I'm glad we gave our abs a good work-out, because MAN did we eat a lot of chocolate... but only the best so that's OK.
And yes, stay tuned about my ultimate Paris tour - this one will be very special, a once in a lifetime experience with the creme de la creme of "la vie parisienne"!
Dates are September 20-27 and then December 2010 and May 2011 (more info soon). In the meantime, get in the mood by reading this post of mine on the Top-10 bakeries for pains au chocolate in Paris: http://detours.typepad.com/detours/2010/03/top10-bakeries-for-pains-au-chocolat-in-paris.html

Robin and Catherine's words bring all the joys of the day flooding back. I was so thrilled to be part of your tour, I've been enjoying Judith Cantor's and my photos over and over.

Catherine > Thank you my dear, I really appreciate your comment about my chocolate tours being a "cultural experience" as well. Coming from someone as well-travelled and sophisticated as you, this is a major compliment [#blushing-in-front-of-my-Mac!!]
Can't wait to follow your fab adventures in NYC...

You have become like a guiding light to me. When I started a project
on similar topic I could not get enough information to carry further.
But as soon as I read your article, my project is doing great and
I hope to get an A+ this time. thanks

Reading your post just gave me a glimpse of what you offer. I have to admit, that made my craving for chocolates even stronger, and make that double for my wife.
