| Our Soho Shopping Tour with Molly was great! I took the tour with my daughters, niece, sisters and mother. We all enjoyed getting to see the variety of shops. We returned to many of the stores from the tour later that afternoon, so I'd advise having time for additional shopping. More coupons or discounts would have been appreciated. We would also have liked a map and coupon for each individual, rather than for the group. It was hard to share when we divided into smaller groups later in the day. I would recommend this tour to friends. |

| If you want to find the best places to shop, you gotta take the tour! Our guide Christina was great! Discounts offered and great finds! Not just store info, but history and great places to eat (try the Prince Cafe on Prince street; WE Loved IT). We even had serveral New Yorkers on the tour so they could be "in-the-know" on the newest-best places to shop/eat. Our tour didn't even end at a store but with the Young Designer's Market, out of a school gym, there were so many talented people, just waiting to be discovered. We bought from PASTE for my teenage son (boarder dude/dudette stuff) and another lady (who didn't have a card) for my teenage daughter. We did go back to several stores to make purchases: Min.k , TE CASAN; Yellow Rat Bastard and even BLoomingdales. But you need to take the tour 'cause there are too many great places to mention. You'll be so glad you did! |

| Our guide Christine was wonderful! She gave us a great map and pointed out lots of places we could check out. I think we had adequate time in each shop to look quickly and then return to those areas that we wanted to spend more time in. Christine is very knowledgeable about the area and very willing to help you find whatever you might be looking for. I would definitely recommend this tour for all you shoppers out there! |

| This was a waste of our time and money - there were only 4 people in total in our group and we would have appreciated time to shop in the very few stores we were taken to.
It was ridiculous and again - a waste of our time and money - we were very disappointed. |

| Great tour leader and great information. The tour dragged a little and we were getting impatient towards the end A map depicting our route and the places we stopped would have been helpful. |

| We had a fairly large group and seemed to spend more time walking than we actually did visiting boutiques. Given that we were confined to such a small area of town, I expected exposure to a greater number of boutiques. My teenage daughter enjoyed herself much more than I did so it was worth the time and money. However, they should add more sample sales to the excursion and plan the two hours walking a more logical system. |

| My 16 year old daughter and I enjoyed this tour! The guide was personable and engaging. We visited shops that we will put on our list when we return to NYC in the future. I plan to tell my friends to put this tour on their NYC trip agenda. |

| Had a great time walking through these eclectic neighbourhoods and getting the New Yorker's perspective on where to find cool little boutiques. Our guide could have done a better job of asking up front what people were interested in as there were obviously a lot of choices of places to go and you can’t stop and look at everything. We spent too long in some places that no one was interested in then and had to rush through the end of the tour so missed out on really seeing much in Nolita.
Still, would recommend the tour for first time visitors or those looking for some guidance on good areas to explore. Plan it for early in your stay so you have time to return to the area and hit all the shops you didn’t get time to see while on the tour – lots of great restaurants and shops to explore. |
