| The shops we toured were very unique, our guide was friendly, enthusiastic and pointed out many interesting facts about Soho. It was a beautiful day to spend outside and the shop owners were very warm and friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back! |

| While the guide was wonderful, I was disappointed in the stores--not much for us to choose from. The one store where they did the demo on the skirt--workers were rude.
We were to attend two sample salels; neither store would let us in. |

Glad we weren't on own!

| So glad we took this tour. My daughter asked "why couldn't we do this on our own?" And as soon as the tour started she saw why. On our own we probably wouldn't have gotten off Broadway and would have missed an incredible amount. We visited a great mix of shops & vendors; got an insiders point of view history of the area (past and present). A great time! Our guide, Christina, was a joy! Pleasant, knowledgable, and very personable. She shared with our group as much as possible in the short time we had ...which simply flew by! We had a wonderful time, would do it again, and will be sure to recommend it to anyone we know who might be going to New York and looking for a unique few hours. |

| I booked this tour so that my daughter and I could become more familiar with Soho. The tour guide immediately tailored the tour to a 17 year old girl. The guide was engaging, smart and professional. We had a really nice time. |

| I enjoyed getting to see know some very interesting stores and using my discounts after the tour at my leisure. tour guide was charming and vibrant. Even though i could have gone on for many hours, i think the timeframe works really well.
And by the way this is the second Shop Gotham Tour I took and I enjoyed them both |

not worth the money

| We had 11 people so it was difficult to go through many of the stores quickly. I would encourage the leader to emphasize that indiviudals can return to stores they like versus holding up the whole group. She did a great job in catering to the younger girls in the group, which made the time more enjoyable for all. Really enjoyed the Nolita "garage" show which was our last stop on the tour. |

| The idea of the tour was great but we did not get to see many places on our tour due to other women who would shop and slow down the rest of us. My suggestion is that shopping in the stores should be saved for after the two our tour. Have a salesperson from each store described the stores and the types of merchandise carried. Then let clients walk around the store to quickly view the merchandise. No more that 5 minutes per store. Provide each attendee with not only the list of stores (very good idea) but also a pen to make notes. The area is small enough , with the map provided, to go back to any locations to shop.
If we could have moved a little more quickly, we could have seen more streets and stores. I went back to Soha on Monday and did some shopping. I bought from one of the stores we saw but made other discoveries while there. I would have also loved to have had more information to NoLita. I went back on my own on Monday but not being familiar with the area, I only went back to the store on the tour. Merchants should appreciate this tour. I bought several things with my discount in Soho.
Tonya, tour guide was great!!!!!!!! |
