	we paid for the shopping list........we were coming to newyork for the first time to buy my wedding dress. we paid 100 dollars for nothing. they spent weeks emailing me for our sizes,our ages,what kind of dress i wanted and what else we were looking for so i exspected to get a great shopping list BUT NO IT WAS RUBBISH...... she gave me the address of davids bridal, rk bridal and macys did she think us irish live in a field and have never heard of these. her exact words were "go to macys but you wont buy anything there" and that from a lady who knew we were only going to be in newyork for 2 days. I emailed her a week before i left and asked if she could give me any info on sample sales and im still waiting. I emailed another company who gave me a list of sample sale NO CHARGE. At the end of the day you dont need a shopping list or a private shopper in new york , there are sample sales on every corner and millions of shops to choose from so save your money and buy a nice paris hilton bag instead it will only cost you half what i gave to shopgotham.......
	Almost perfect tour... SoHo and NoLita Shopping 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! SoHo and NoLita Shopping Tour

	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!

	This is the real New York. We didn't go to pretty stores on this tour, but the showrooms and sample sale places were the real thing. The deals were great. I bought a magnificent coat which is currently in the stores for 4 times the price. Lots of walking. We had a ball.

	Halle, our tour guide, was punctual, pleasant and very attentive to what we were interested in. She was extremely knowledgable of the various stores and shops and took us to what we were interested in. This is our second shopgotham tour. We took the Greenwich Village tour last year and LOVED it!!! Two thumbs up from the Castleman women.
	Waste of Time Take the Food Tour instead Garment Center Insider Shopping Tour (For Women)

	Unfortunately our guide did not know where she was going, her apprentice was much more educated on the area. You will wish you had three hours of your life back to go into stores and take advantage of the sample sales fliers that folks hand you in front of the locations where they are. Fortunately our group was small, but the guide would have been wise to provide a time limit in the stores. We ended up in one junk store that was nothing more than a cheap "Target" with clothes that were ripped and damaged but VERY cheap $5.00 shirts etc. A lot of time spent there on purely JUNK! Totally a waste of time. I believe this could be a good tour if it were tailored to something more worthwhile. I was sadly disappointed. Being a walking tour, we did have a lady that tripped on the sidewalk and fell. I was amazed to learn that New Yorkers are concerned and polite peope after all. Many men in suits stopped to help and showed genuine concern in their hectic lives. Traveling as a woman alone, I was concerned about if something occurred, would anyone stop and notice, or would I be the car alarm that goes off with no one taking notice. So all in all, I fell more in love with NYC, and I would highly recommend the other Zerve tours, but this one needs fine tuning.
	Great Intro to New York Shopping Private Shopping Tour

	My niece and I are were not familar with New York City - so this service was great because we were able to go to specific stores and outlets that fit our shopping taste. Our guide, Halle, was knowledgeable and personable. My niece is 16, so shopping for clothes is trying as she is very particular about what she wears. I was impressed with how Halle was able to tune into my niece's clothing preferences and take us to stores that my niece just loved! Great experience, I recommend it to anyone that wants to shop New York but doesn't know where to go or how to move around the city.
	My group was looking for unknown gems. SoHo and NoLita Shopping Tour
	Fri, Sep 1, 06 11:00 AM	lindarosenta	Unspecified	Unspecified	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	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! SoHo and NoLita Shopping Tour
	Sat, Aug 26, 06 11:00 AM	nancyjeanyu	Female	40-49	Combination	Group of Friends
	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.
	Great Sweet 16 Party!! Private Shopping Tour
	Sun, Aug 20, 06 1:00 PM	jbf1254	Female	Under 20	Local	Group of Friends
	This turned out to be a better than I could have ever imagined idea for my daughter's Sweet 16 Party. We arranged for a private shopping tour of Soho/Nolita for about 18 girls and everyone of them had an incredible time. The tour guides, Halle and Molly, were wonderful and really focused in on the girls interests. They took the girls to so many fabulous stores that they would have never known about and all within their budget. Besides having such a fun shopping experience, the girls came away with great memories and a real familiarity for that part of the City. Something that will outlast even the best bargains of the day. Big or small this is a great group activity.
	Loved the tour! SoHo and NoLita Shopping 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! Jocelyn NJ

	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!

	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..
	Trip to NYC with granddaughter SoHo and NoLita Shopping Tour
	Sat, Aug 12, 06 11:00 AM	jspangler	Female	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Other
	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.

	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.
