Great tour and guide!
Sat, Mar 18, 06   1:30 PM kimmcd Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My mom, sister and I (all adults) took this tour on a busy Saturday. Hallie (sp?) was a terrific and friendly tour guide, adept and helping our group through the crowded streets. Even though we were a few minutes late, she was very accomodating to us. We visited several fun places and got some details and history of the neighborhood. She was always careful to help us get our bearings and helpful answering questions. We had a group of about 10, which was a great size. My only complaint would be that a few of the stores were not my taste, but you can't please everyone. The Pearl River Market was fun, and truly a Chinatown condensed, but the merchandise was nothing I hadn't seen a hundred times before. The Japanese chain store was just like a Gap or Banana Republic and probably not worthy of including on the tour, but just a 10 minute stop wasn't awful. Overall, Hallie was great, the group was the perfect size, and we got a great overview of the area and some eclectic shops in just a few hours. I'd definitely do it again!

Our tour thru Soho was fun and informative.....guide was very knowledgable and friendly! The tour was just too short...other walking tours we have taken in NYC were three hours.

Fun morning shopping and chatting
Fri, Feb 24, 06   11:00 AM Janicenewton Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We really enjoyed our morning with Hally. She was lively and informative just like shopping with a girlfiriend. She made lots of good suggestions of places to revisit which we did when we had more time. As two women from England we both were impressed by the areas we walked around and we were sure we would never have found the interesting shops if we had been wandering alone. Thanks it really was good fun.

Leader needed more "ahead" information for better
Fri, Feb 17, 06   1:30 PM lauriebowers Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Our lady who took us around proably needed more information upfront (the age of the participates, desires, etc...) upfront so that she could take us to places that we cuold shop. We were looking to buy but places taken didn't have our price points or either our sizes (some of us are not "toothpicks".) .....she definitely knew the neighborhood and shared the history and artictechure but the shops were not a "hit"...we enjoyed the places we walked by that "famous" people had shopped or eaten but we did want a little "token" to take home. Maybe there aren't shops in that area that have a "fuller figure" or welcome guests. Some of the shops seemd upset that we were walking through--but what do we know. She was pleasant. But we would only recommend if you asked more questons upfront so that the "buyer" could acutually buy something. Thanks

Fun, great to do while in NYC
Sat, Jan 7, 06   1:00 PM george Female Under 20 Unspecified Group of Friends
I took my daughter and 3 of her friends for her 13th birthday. They had a great time. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to do something different while in NYC. We plan to return to the hot spots that our tour guide took us on when we return to NYC. It was worth it.

Mix up
Sun, Dec 4, 05   11:00 AM Candace Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
After making reservations online my friend and I showed up at the designated spot 12 minutes before the designated time. They were already gone and the clerks in the store where we were supposed to meet were unhelpful. We called Shop Gotham and 2 days later Joanne got in touch with us, apologized, explained the problem and refunded our money. She also told me she would send me an email map of where they had gone, which I have not received yet. They were very professional and I am just disappointed I was not able to go on this tour. I would definitely go on another tour the next time I am in New York.

Disappointing shopping trip
Sat, Dec 3, 05   11:00 AM Annettetg Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
Having read other reviews, I had high expectations of this tour. Firstly, Johanna - group leader- was late, as were several members of party. We were advised to arrive at 10.45am but we didn't start tour until 11.25am. I was surprised that the group was so large- 18 approx - little interaction between us. There was a family from out of state - Parents and 2 teenagers - mother and daughter from England, an extentended family from France including non English speakers, some friends of Johanna- our guide- and the rest of the group. I felt that we spent too long in many shops- eg -" Mariebelle Chocolat "- a very small "top of the range" chocolate only shop. We could have all returned here later -if desired- instead of looking at chocolate bars for 20 minutes. The visit to "Rice to Riches" - a rice pudding bar was equally embarrasing - a 15 minute stop as we pretended to be interested in rice puddings - not really, Johanna! As far as I remember, there were 5 other stops - all very near each other - 1. "Pearl River" - interesting -2. "So Good" - a great costume jewelry store - 3. "Zeba" - interior design - indifference expressed by most of group - 4." Find Outlet" - a very small shop with discounted prices but little of interest - more embarassment as we all walked out. We visited"Anthropologie"- a big store which I had alredy heard of and finally we went to "Market NYC" where we saw some interesting accessories The following day, I took a 3 hour food tour(Verve) and there was no comparison with value,information and time spent with guide. I was certainly disappointed with shopping tour and felt short-changed - ie "give me my money back" - I spoke with several of the other shoppers afterwards and they were in total agreement!

Well Worth The Trip
Sat, Nov 5, 05   11:00 AM Felicia Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
Our tour guide was excellent and really loved what she did, it showed. This is a tour to take especially in good walking weather. It gives you shops to consider returning to if you don't have time to shop while on tour. We were alloted about 15 minutes per shop which was just right, after all if you need more time you could always go back. The only disappointment was a stop at a speciality chocolate store the management did not honor the 5% discount and had a bit of an attitude. I would not visit there again, until they adjust their attitude and perhaps consider honoring the discount. Over all a great tour and guide... do take the time to take it......

Great for the Ladies, Poor for the Men
Fri, Nov 4, 05   10:00 AM Antonietta Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
Great designer clothing and jewelry to buy for the ladies. A complete bore for the men. If you're a male, you may want to skip this. However, my wife loved it.

I highly recommend a Shop Gotham tour!
Fri, Oct 28, 05   11:00 AM stephcap Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My girlfriends and I had a fabulous time on our Shop Gotham tour. The guide took us to lots of cool stores. We never would have found such fun and trendy shops on our own. If we hadn’t had our Shop Gotham tour guide to point us in the right direction, we would have spent the afternoon wondering aimlessly around SoHo and NoLita. Also, we learned a bit about the history of the area while strolling from store to store. I highly recommend a Shop Gotham tour!

The most fun I had shopping in NYC...
Fri, Oct 28, 05   11:00 AM LisaBolan Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
Shopping with ShopGotham was a great experience. I was brought to shops and boutiques that I would have never found on my own. I went into places I normally would have been too intimidated to go into. All the shops were very unique. Our guide was great, she was well spoken and friendly. You could tell she enjoys what she does. I loved all the added facts she gave us about the SoHo and Lolita area. It was more that just a shopping tour, it was a great NYC experience. The people on the tour were friendly. It was nice to shop with others. The guide gave us some helpful hints and facts before going into each shop which made each place more exciting. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone living in or visiting NYC.

Wonderful Experience!
Sat, Oct 22, 05   1:00 PM triptonewyor Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
My daughter and I took part in the SoHo and NoLita shopping tour while in NYC for her Sweet Sixteen birthday and it was the best thing we could have done! Even though it was rainy and chilly the tour guide kept our spirits up and introduced us to shopping areas we never would have had the opportunity to see otherwise. We saw an amazing amount of things on Saturday in two hours (obviously it wasn't enough time)...but we felt more than comfortable going back on our own Sunday and shopped til we dropped in all the great shops the tour had introduced us to! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the real NYC! Thanks from Florida...

A great way to experience NYC's shopping.
Big Store Tour
Fri, Oct 14, 05   10:00 AM waskesiu Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We enjoyed our Big Store Shopping Tour. It was a great opportunity to see all of the "must see" stores in NYC. Each store was unique and had varied price points. The tour allowed our group to generously sample NYC shopping of which we were able to decide where we wished to return afterwards. Our guide was exceptional, she provided facts and history on each place we visited and also gave us other suggestions on the places we should see when in NYC. Best of all, our tour guide was patient and very friendly, making our day in the rain a sunny experience! Thanks for everything.
