| The tour was just ok - not worth the price. NY is easy enough to figure out on your own. Guide was nice but there weren't great deals or great selection. |

| My tour guide was very nice and knew her stuff but I just don't think the amount of stops on the tour justifies the price. We only went to about 6 places. The paper that outlines the tour lists several places that we did not go to. When someone asked the guide why we did not go to theses stops she said they were places they recommended for us to go on our own time. I bought one shirt and some makeup and about half of the people on my tour left early because there was really nothing to buy at any of the places we went to and out the 6 that stayed most left empty handed. The guide said that these sales are hit and miss which I understand, however when all we found were overpriced broken clothing (some clothes still had pins in them because they were unfinished samples) and no variety I really think that the tour should have been extended and that we should have gone to the stops on the tour itinerary that we did not go to. If I had to do it all over knowing what I know now, I would not have paid more than $30 for the tour and I most probably would not recommend it to a friend. |

| Adrienne was great! I wasn't sure what to expect other than the write up on the website, but I wasn't sure if that just propaganda...We were a group of five girls having a girl's weekend. We really enjoyed the shopping and the tour guide was very friendly and informative. It was like having a personal friend who knows the ropes. We were impressed with the "behind the scenes" look. I hadn't planned on buying any clothes, and ended up with some amazing deals that I couldn't pass up. If you are coming to NY to shop and are willing to spend a couple of hours letting someone else lead you, it is well worth the time and the price of the ticket. We were sad that we didn't have time to do more than the Garment Center tour. Thanks for everything, Adrienne. |

| I purchased a ticket to get a behind the scene's look into the Garment industry and I wasn't disappointed. Although the tour caters towards women and sample sales of women's clothing, there were sales for men's clothing as well. I highly recommend this tour to men and women alike. |

| This was so much fun. The tour guide was wonderful and the tour was exactly as billed. I have told friends and family alike that the next time they are in NYC that they have to take this tour. |

| My mom, and my boyfriend's mother and I were visiting NYC and we did this tour and we all loved it!!! Each of us got several great things for a fraction of the cost than departments stores. We would definitely do this tour again in a different season. We didn't find things at every store we went in but at 75% of the places we either purchased things or were interested in looking. Highly recommend! |

| My friend and I really enjoyed the Garment District Tour.
I think this tour is very good for learning about the history of the area and we were able to go into designer workshops not available to the public.
We both were able to find a perfect trench coat at less than 1/2 price.

| Our tour provided us an opportunity to see sections of the garment district we would never have found on our own. The deals really were there and we were able to purchase clothing well below market price. It was a lot of fun. Of the several places we visited, however, two were not open. No attempt was made to compensate for this or find another place to go. Guide should have been more prepared to insure the entire tour was available. |

| Myself and a friend thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our guide Molly was cheerful and enthusiastic despite the rain, and thoughtfully stopped off at a store where those of us without umbrellas could buy one cheaply. It was fascinating seeing inside the garment centre and if we travel to New York again then we will certainly be booking another trip. |
