| 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 |

| 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!!!!!!!! |

| I really enjoyed this tour It was educational, informative, and almost like a behind the scence pass to a shoppers world. If I had never taken this tour I know I would have never found or even looked for different shops outside if the tourist area. This was a wonderful trip I recommend it to all looking for there own look and taste in merchandise. |

| The tour provided our group with a New York native that was able to explain the history of the area, the neatest unique shops from clothing to candy and even a little celebrity gossip. The 2 hour tour was one of the highlights in our trip. After the tour we knew which boutique was the one started by Project Runway participants or the boutique that carries the latest fashions from Paris.
New York can be overwhelming and hard to determine which street has a great boutique squeezed between every day stores. This tour gives you a expansive over view of the area and the ability to go to the best shops so that you have even more time in this amazing city.
Highly, highly recommend! |

| So glad we did the shopping tour. Our teenage daughters really enjoyed it. We covered a variety of stores which provided something for everyone. Family members who live in NY had never heard of it and were glad to know they could recommend it to visitors. |

| I, my sister, and my son and his wife took the Soho shopping tour on Saturday, Jan. 26. We didn't know exactly what to expect ,but we had hoped for more historical information, architectural information, and to see more places. I think the tour was priced quite high for the information and number of places we visited. Having said that, we did go to places we may have just passed up or never bothered to see. Our guide was pleasant and patient. |

| I took the Soho/NoLita shopping tour on January 10th. The guide was very nice and helpful. She gave a lot of historical tidbits which I appreciated. Overall, I thought the tour was just OK and if you measure the success by purchases made by the group of seven women it wasn't very much. We only visited a handful of stores to be honest although we were given a list of stores that we could visit on our own which was useful. I did better on my own walking around the area. The cost of the tour wasn't too expensive so I don't think that money was lost. |
