| This Shopping tour was a great way to become familiar with the SoHo area as well as surrounding areas. We were taken to some really neat places. Our tour guide Molly was very personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend the tour. |

| The guide was very informative and friendly, took an interest in everyone and pointed out places that would be of interest to people visiting NYC. I highly recommend this tour, looking forward to future tours with your company. Keep up the good work!!! |

A complete waste of time and money.

| The tour in no way reflected the description on the website.
The guide seemed to have no plan except to wander haphazardly from store to store within a four square block area of Soho. Absolutely no "chat" about the area, the architecture, the boutique. And speaking of boutiques, I don't think Pearl River qualifies. She specifically said we would not be going to Nolita because it was too far away.
Our guide seemed more interested in talking to the guides from other groups than talking to us. There must have been five guides congregated in Pearl River while their hapless tourists wandered aimlessly.
We left early in disgust. Our short time in NYC was too valuable to waste on this tour.
I will not recommend this tour to others. If anyone asks me about the tour, I will tell them it is a waste of time and money.
I would like my money back. |

The hours spent with Shop Gotham were very well spent. the "tour guides" were friendly and helpful; and did very well under pressure! It's not easy to keep ladies who want to shop under contral and happy! I enjoyed the group I was with (I was alone). And, we got some great shopping tps. I love the SoHo/Nolita area. |

| Christina, our guide, was very friendly and brimful of special places to take us. As well as visiting lots of little interesting shops (mainly clothes, jewelry, bags) which might have looked intimidating to the individual, she took us to a Chinese emporium and to China Town. She added in some fun anecdotes about the area and the people who live there. |

| I wish the tour could've shown us more out of the way shops; less mainstream. What we saw was great, but I feel we could have found them on our own. The upcoming designers' market was our favorite; we wanted more vendors like that. |

| I was very pleased with my experience as was my sister. I only get to New York occassionally on weekends and so my time there is always very limited. With this tour you get to go to several fun shops over the course of two hours. No pounding the pavement aimlessly wasting time looking for interesting shops. Our guide, Danielle, was friendly and professional. Besides taking us to the shops, she gave us some historical background on the Soho/Nolita area. Not every shop will be to each person's taste but I would say there's definitely something for everyone. I highly recommend this tour! |

| My group was definately not looking for high end stores. There was 4 in our group two
mothers and daughters. The closes thing we stopped at that had anything of interest
was an asian jewelry store with a lot of imitation jewelry. ?So big? I think if you set
up the tours according to interest it would be better. I was not there for myself. I came
on this tour for my daughter age 22. She cannot afford most of the stores we were
visited. She was hopping for funky, hip, discount stores. If we wanted high end we
already know where 5th avenue is located. Disappointing!!! |

| There were three of us on this tour and we loved experiencing SoHo with Danielle leading the way. She was a great tour guide. Don't expect to stay at any stop longer than 10-15 minutes. You are just getting the highlights and the feel of SoHo shopping. After the tour, head back to your favorites.
It would have been very helpful if the walking map you are given at the beginning of the tour included the location of the shops you are visiting. We spent over an hour trying to find one of the shops and finally gave up completely. |
