| "Nature was not on our side, but this rainy yucky day was kept lively and jam packed with good stuff by an informed and very lively guide who so evidently targeted the stores to our group. I just relocated to the city and felt like a real New Yorker! Totally enjoyed the shopping selections and would recommend this tour to everyone." |

| I was travelling from Toronto with my sister & two nieces, ages 16 7 20.I have been to NYC many times, it was their first .Normally I would not take a tour but it sounded novel.Our guide Ennis was a lovely person & really tried her best but she didn't have the personality or the skills. Our group was larger than the 12 that the ad mentioned as a limit. this could have been handled better by someone more savy .Ennis needed to be better organized with time limits in stores & with direction.So much time was wasted waiting around ,very tedious,.. ennis had no control.Yes this wasn't supposed to be a boot camp, it just wasn;t any fun. I think the guide should take cues from the group & have some high energy or personality.Sadly this was not Ennis. |

| We enjoyed the shopping tour. It was nice to see these different areas; much quieter than downtown Manhatten. I must agree with others that most of the stores were high priced on this tour and they tried to fit in alot of stores so there wasn't much time to really buy anything. On the up side of this, we were given a list of the stores and the discount if any that they were offering and we could go back to the ones of our choice.
All in all a good day. |

| My girlfriend and I made our second trip to the Big City and had not really ventured to lower Manhattan. This is a great tour if you want to see some really fun unique little shops. The only problem with this tour was there were a couple of ladies who thought this was their personal shopping trip and held the tour up by trying on clothes at every store. Since the shopping is primarily in a small section of Soho/Nolitta there should have been a time limit in each store. There was a lot of waiting for people who were shopping, they really should have gone back after the tour to do the trying on and purchasing. At one point in time our group was in 3 different groups all because of a couple of people (the same ones at each store). I would definitely do it again but going into the tour would make sure there were time limits on each store. |

| We had such a great time on our shopping tour. Judy, our tour guide was amazing, so nice, very knowledgeable and patient with some of the slower shoppers. I highly recommend this trip. It was so nice and a great way to see a totally different section of New York. SoHo was beautiful. I will definitely return there again to shop. Actually, I may take this exact same tour again it was so fun. You get so much for the price! I highly recommend this tour!!! |

| My Mom and I went on the tour during our weekend trip and had a great time. We hadn't been to SoHo, so the tour gave us a chance to see what kind of unique stores are in the area. You don't have a lot of time to acutally shop so if you really want to spend some time in the stores you should plan on staying around once the tour finishes. They'll give you a map and a discount card that you can use for the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend this tour for groups of friends or Mother/Daughter combos. |

| I just looked at last review on this tour and gotta say, very surprised. To me, it was a fun and really worthwhile time. Guide was lovely, took us to some very cool shops -- -- who treated us very nicely -- and one amazing sample sale, explained thoughly why each shop was chosen and even helped us to pick and assemble outfits.I only wish it could have been longer. True we were a small group that day, but I found it highly personalized, far more than I'd expect from a "tour". Havng the use of all the discounts for the remainder of the day kept me very busy indeed. Soho is a great place to shop! (one caveat.. to my eyes, this area is best suited to people with or seeking style.. not your chain store lovers).I Highly recommend and will take my take my daughter when she is a bit older. |
