Danielle was our guide. She was friendly and kept the group together. The overall experience was good; but time mangement needs work. We received a very plain map with locations honoring the discount card for that day. We only got to visit half of them. She did show us afew shops not on the list that were interesting. The map could be greatly improved with a description of the store's merchandise and cost average. It should point out all the long term shops, not just those with the discount. This type of tour would have been better as a question and answer meeting about all the SOHO shopping with a great map. Then everyone could venture out on their own. |

My daughter is 15 years old and she is very much into fashion. She was thrilled to have a personal tour guide that led us into various designer stores and art galleries'. This tour gave us a special flavor of New York. The designers' stores and the neighborhood felt like a familiar place. The neighborhood is out of the noise that the big avenues in New York have. Soho and Nolita are very special places. Molly, our tour guide, gave us an excellent tour. |

I don't pretend to be a hard-core shopper but it was still interesting to me! A well constructive and informative tour that showed us a variety of stores that we'd have just walked past or not found even if we had spent days in the area! I think the guide tailored the tour for who was there on the day, not simply going around the route. Well done Molly & thanks again. |

My daughter (15) and I had a great time on this tour. I would not go on this tour for the architectural or building information. If you go strictly for the shopping, it is great. My daughter bought 2 items and I bought 1 on the tour. It gives you a feel for the SOHO area. I would recommend taking the map and highlighting or marking the route you take to get to the various stores. The tour guide pointed out other shops of interest for my daughter, but we weren't able to find them after the tour. Still got plenty of shopping in though. |

Enjoyed the Soho shopping tour with my teenage daughter. The pace was brisk, but not too rushed. Definitely were shown shops that we would not have found on our own. Even though it is a group tour, the friendly guide shapes the 2 hours to the interests of the participants. Didn't feel pressured to buy anything. |

Great overview for the "downtown area" |

The tour was great. It was very informational and I loved all the little boutiques the tour guide showed us. I would recommend a shopping tour to anyone that wants to find the hidden gems in SOHO. |

The SoHo & NoLito Shopping Tour was very nice. Our guide, Julie, was wonderful, thoughtful, and very informative. The pace was just right, we got some nice samples, and now we know where to go when we visit SoHo & NoLito the next time around. |

This tour gives a good overview of SoHo and NoLita. If your intent is to shop, plan on using the tour as an overview and then returning to the shops later in the day. Our guide, Julie, was knowledgeable of the history of the area as well as the stop along the way. She was enthusiastica and made the day fun. |
