I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. There were only three of us including the guide and she proved to be flexible and knowledgeable about the area. We were treated like old friends and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to knwo more about Soho.

I went on this Soho/Nolita shopping tour with my husband. The guide was great but the shopping venues were 100% female shops. Even though I was very happy, there was nothing for my husband to look at or buy. He supported me in my shopping however I wouldn't recommend this tour to a male. And since my husband and I do many outings together, there should be something for both of us.This tour would be greatly improved if it just added one or two male shopping venues. |

Very enjoyable, informative yet relaxed. |

This tour is a useful tool for anybody like myself - a foreigner living in New York. When friends and family visit in the future I shall be able to take them on far more interesting shopping trips than in the past. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgable and in no rush. Two hours sprinting around as many stores as possible can be exhausting but this tour managed to cover enough ground without overdoing it.
One comment would be that there is no direct contact number given on the e-ticket. We were running late (our own fault and no slight on Shop Gotham) but as I panicked and tried desperately to contact somebody to apologise and assure that we were only a couple of blocks away I was only able to leave a message on a voice mail. A direct number may be an idea.
One minor complaint in an otherwise fantastic day. |

It was a lot of fun and informative. Our tour guide was not only knowledgeable of places to shop for great deals, she knew the history of the buildings and areas we were in. It was nice to get some history on the city and its people. Great time! |

I thought the tour was a nice addition to my time spent in NYC, and some of history included regarding the architecture and celebrity sightings was cool. Of course I wish we had more time to shop in the stores while on the tour, but then I understand that would mean less stores seen overall. I thought the tour provided a taste of the bigger picture and was a good jumping off point for my shopping to follow.
The tourguide was very nice and down-to-earth, too (for the life of me, I can't remember her name--sorry).
I would definitely recommend this to others. |

We really enjoyed our Soho / Nolita tour! We got great recommendations from a local and got to enjoy the city in a new light. The only drawback was it was only a couple hours! We had to back track to the shops we visited to spend more time shopping :)
Thanks for the memories and good finds!

I was in NY on business and had a few hours to do something. I found the tour brochure in the hotel and it sounded like fun. It was only myself and my tour guide. She did an exceptional job. I learned about where the deals are, the history of the area, and it was a mix of clothing, chocolate (yum), bath and body, home. She covered everything. I can't wait to bring my daughters with me next time. |
