| My sister, 14 year old daughter and I took the Soho/Nolita tour led by Christina on our recent girls weekend to NYC. I can't say enough positive things about our experience.
It was AWESOME!! We visited or window shopped boutiques and stores that we would not have experienced without the tour. My daughter got to "model" a skirt in one of the boutiques for the group which was such a kick for her. We sampled chocolate and went into a taxidermy store that had fossils and all kinds of unique stuff. Christina is knowledgable about the architecture and history of the area so it was more than "just" shopping education!
There was lots of stores and territory to cover in a short 2 and a half hours and the time flew by.
Thank you Christina and Gotham City tours!!!! Have recommended you to all my friends. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

My group was looking for unknown gems.

| 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!!! |

| 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! |

| We enjoyed the tour. Danelle was a great tour.
Weather was not good and a lot of walking. She tried very hard to please all age group.
I would recommend doing a food tour in a smaller area. More time inside and not as great walking in the snow. |

| Two daughters, a cousin and I were in NYC for a long weekend together. Decided to try your walk - have done lots of walks in London and Paris - and was very pleased. The guides were informative, adapative, interesting, fun, and enthusiastic. Have shoped the SoHo area on my own before, and never found all the great shops which you exposed us to. My daughters, who are obviously much younger, loved the variety, trendiness, and quality of all the stores. They are already planning more foreys into the streets of NYC and plan to take more of your walks. We'll watch your web site on the internet for new and interesting trips.
Thanks! |
