NYC Shopping Tour Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Shopping

Overall it was interesting. Our guide Camber was great. The shopping wasn't exactly what I was thinking. I felt that the designers we were taken to were geared more towards the older crowd. I was looking forward to more of " Trendy" shopping. But it was interesting.

I was given this as a gift from a girlfriend last year. We scheduled the tour for my birthday this year and I can't think of a better way to spend the day. We loved meeting a few of the actual designers and the wholesale pricing of their designs was just too tempting. We decided it needed to be an annual girls' trip! I highly recommend!

Sarah was an awesome guide. I am from NY and never knew there were so many great places to shop. She was fun, informative, and honest. This was a birthday present for my mom, who is a true fashionista. We had a ball. Kudos to Sarah!
