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. |

Almost perfect tour... |

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. |

Well Worth It! |

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!!! |

Great SoHo shopping experience! |

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. |

Loved the tour! |

I just wanted to let you know how much I really enjoyed the tour. I was thrilled to learn
how to "navigate" thru the interesting streets of Soho and Nolita on our way to discovering new designers, finding special deals, and shopping at both luxurious and affordable stores! I got some really cute fall items and can't wait to come back with my friends!

Hallie was a wonderful leader, and tailored her tour to the group audience. When I was done at one store, she helpfully pointed me to the next store I could visit ahead of the group. I did appreciate not spending too much time at any one store, so that we could see a maximum number of stores in the area. I never would have known about the Young Designers fair without her help. Thanks so much and looking forward to the Garment District tour in the Fall! |

A great shopping adventure! |

My daughter and I had a great time shopping Soho and Nolita and were introduced to stores that we probably wouldn't have found or gone into on our own. We can't wait to go back.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to New York. We had a fun morning and our tour guide Hallie was terrific and very informative.. |

We had a great shopping trip with Hallie. I brought my 15 year old granddaughter and she enjoyed all of the SoHo shops. I don't think we would have discovered the shops on our own. We had a nice lunch in NoLita at a restaurant recommended by our guide and then continued to shop. I would certainly encourage others to take this tour. |

If you LOVE style, trends & shopping! |

WOAH...my dear friend and I knew we'd love a shopping tour, but we were so blown away with this one! Our guide, Hallie, was so smart and friendly. She really knows her stuff and made it fun. We learned a lot about NYC and had an absolute blast shopping at the hip spots around Soho and Nolita. We actually would have enjoyed a tour that was more than two hours! Thanks SO much. |
