The Soho and Nolita tour runs about 2 hours long. Depending on the size of the group, the tour may be a little bit shorter or longer.

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.

What stores will we be shopping in?
We select our shopping stops based on the uniqueness of the store, 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 neighborhoods and the variety of shopping they offer. Most of the time is spent shopping, but we visit quite a number of stores, so please take note of stores you would like to return to. Neighborhood trivia, history, architecture and celebrity gossip is shared while walking from place to place.

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.
