| 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!!! |

| My wife and I had two days in New York City. We both love Project Runway and she recently graduated from fashion design school so since neither of us knew anything about where the best shops were we decided to have someone "in the know" show us around so we bought this tour hoping that we'd be shown some of those secret gems or small deginer boutiques you always hope to discover.
When we started at DKNY and one of the members of our group asked to go to Anthropologie it felt like a tour through our local mall, not Soho. After DKNY we hit a place that sells interchangeable tops to flats and then a knick-knack store with the cheapest costume jewelry you'll ever find around the corner.
After a stop at a candy store (yes, candy) and a place that sells very tiny cupcakes (yes, cupcakes) we were brought to one large German deginer's store full of off the rack gear that would have gotten you kicked off Project Runway. Our third legit clothing store was another boring disaster and at this point we saw another couple and a mother/daughter pair say goodbye to our tour guide so we decided to eat the $78 we spent and we left as well.
My recomtmendation is to just have a cab driver drop you off at the corner of West Broadway and Prince Street and hen just WALK every street in a 5 block radius. We did that and got more done in the hour after we left the group than the hour with it. We went into Prada, Michael Kors, Dolce and Gabana and Armani one, right after another on our own and never got a whif of them while on this tour.
It's really all there for you if you aren't lazy like us: just do the walking yourself up and down Prince and Spring Streets. |

| Had a great time. Our guide was informative and had wealth of knowledge of the area and great tips. Highly recommend for those that aren't familiar with the area to get insider's knowledge of the area. |

| i actually enjoyed my self and will say what i saw others write and that is you truly need more than two hours to fully enjoy this tour. the guide was well imformed and did her best to cater to everyone in the group for instance if you were done browsing she pointed you into the right direction of the next place we were going to.. instead of just waiting fro everone to be done.. i accompnaied my girlfrined as this was one of her many birthday gifts and i felt it was not at all painless. i actually would recommend it for a mothers day gift or just hanging with the girls.. |

| Better if the tours could be separated by age. I think it is very difficult to direct a shopping tour to many different age groups |

Good 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. |

| Our tour guide was Hallie. She was energetic, extremely knowledgable and in tune with what we'd be interested in. She took us to a variety of off the beat and path stores and shared interesting trivia and history about Nolita and So Ho. After the tour, my family and I had a feel for the area so we extended our shopping tour and had even more fun. When we return to New York, we'll look forward to doing another Gothan City tour. |
