| I just wanted to thank and give kudos to Shop Gotham for a great program. I see that others have written very specific comments, so I will add my own. First of all, I was alone on the tour and was made comfortable and kept entertained by the very able guide. The whole experience was a lot of fun. I'd say we went to a dozen or more stores - weaving in and out of streets - ranging from very moderately priced to high fashion. We were told up front that if the group in general did not like a shop, we'd be in and out quickly, so as not to waste time and she was true to her word. At places with greater appeal to all, we spent more time. The 2 1/2 hours went swiftly, but I managed to do some fine "damage" - albeit with a little fashion help from the guide. I think this is a GREAT way to see a selection of special boutiques and at the same time get a scope of the whole area - which is quite big. My advice as others have also said, is to enjoy the journey, absorb all the good suggestions made by your guide (She also recommended a few fun restaurants, one of which we tried out and it was very hip and the food amazing and very well priced) and then plan to spend the rest of the day seeking out the stores which extend the discounts or just meandering the streets. It’s such a beautiful neighborhood to spend time. All in all, a great experience. I’ve already recommended your tour to others. |

| Their was 7 of us in a group of 12. Overall would recommend tour to others looking for something to do as a group. Everyone enjoyed themselves and were happy with the tour. Our guide, Summerlee was wonderful and very sweet and went at a reasonable pace to allow us to see as much as possible. I felt the shops may have been more geared to the 5 others in the group which included teenage girls. We went into 2 candy store which were of no interest to most of us. An "honorable Mention" as we walked bye would have been ok and save the time for another clothing/jewelry store. Also the tour sheet with list of stores to see given at start of tour had only 2 stores that we actually visited and some of them we would of liked to have seen. Maybe providing us with a list of stores we would see on tour or give a list at end of tour to visit on own would of been better. It was a good way to explore an area for the first time to get a feeling of the area if you are not good on venturing on your own. Price was reasonable but I would not pay much more than the $38.00 fee for ticket. Make sure to take a pen and paper and take notes on stores of interest because you will need to go back if you want to try on anything. Overall it was a POSITIVE EXPERIENCE and we all enjoyed it!!! |

| I throughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide Sarah was wonderful. She knew the stores in the area as well as the history. Sarah set a comfortable pace and kept us entertained with the history and little known facts about the area as we walked from store to store. Sarah took us to a variety of stores extending from clothing to chocolate. |

| Our tour guide was fun and informative about the area. We didn't complete the list but I don't see how you would in 2 hours unless you didn't shop. (which we all did) I went alone and felt comfortable with going to an area I didn't know with people I didn't know. I had lunch afterwards with a couple of the girls. I would highly recommend it. |

| Our guide was fabulous! We learned about architecture in the area and we were escorted through a variety of different stores. We sampled chocolate from Vosges and we stared in awe at the designs in the Prada and Longchamps stores. We visited unique boutiques with one of a kind accessories and then stopped in at Topshop and Uniqlo. it was a great introduction to shopping in the area and we stayed on after the tour and went back to our favourite spots! Our guide was extremely well informed and eager to assist us with any and all questions. |

| The tour wasn't as exciting as expected. The guide didn't seem to want the guests to stay long enough in each store to shop. We felt that we needed more time after the tour to revisit and do some more shopping. We would have rathered to catch a taxi to soho and shop on our own! |

| I was not sure what to expect, but the tour was all that I hope it to be. The tour guide was knowledgeable and tailored the stores we svisited to the interests of the group. There were only 3 of us so that made it easy. We went to a mix of stores that gave us the feel for each neighborhood. We stayed just the right amount of time at each store. You should give yourself some time after the tour to go back to the stores that interest you. |
