How many people are on the tour?
Group size varies from tour to tour. Our preferred group size is 12 guests or less. We aim for a high level of personalized attention on all tours. Our guides are trained to provide a significant amount of guide/guest interaction to insure the best possible tour experience.

Is transportation included?
This is a walking tour so there is no transportation for this tour. This tour requires a significant amount of walking, so please wear comfortable shoes and dress weather appropriately.

Where will we be shopping?
We select our shopping stops based on their significance to Fifth Avenue, the uniqueness of the store and its products and group appeal. Our guides are experts at determining the interests of a group and choosing stops that are appropriate for the group as a whole. Please feel free to tell your guide of any particular shopping interests you may have and they will do their best to incorporate related stops into the tour.

How much time do we spend shopping?
This tour is designed to familiarize you with the neighborhood and the variety of shopping and sightseeing it has to offer. About 1/2 the tour will be spent shopping in selected stores. The rest of the tour is filled with neighborhood trivia, history, architecture and celebrity gossip. Please take note of stores/sights you would like to return to and your guide will direct you back to them at the end of the tour.

Are there any places to stop and rest along the route?
Plan for an active afternoon because there is a lot to see and you will be on the move! A number of our shopping stops have seating, so you can take a break while the rest of the group shops.

Should I tip my guide?
It is a customary and very appreciated gesture to tip your tour guide at the end of the tour.
