| What an experience, we were able to meet the designers and see many aspects of the garment district. This was the best tour I have been on. Our tour guide Crystal was well informed and made this tour wonderful. |

| The Garment District tour was fun. The designers we spoke with were very interesting, and everyone in our group found great deals at the sample sales. It would have been an added plus if our tour guide had given the history of the area. |

| I go to Sample Sales in my hometown very frequently. This was a lot of fun, despite the fact that it was "off season" for sample sales. They had a broad range of options - some worked better for people than others but I think everyone in the group bought at least one item. I'd totally go back again. |

| + Christina was a very knowledgeable tour guide, enthusiastic and quickly responded to many changes during the day, even a designer going into labor!
+ The shops were very interesting, and well organized
+ I found each one had items both within my price range and within my dream range
+ My one fear was that the staff would be 'pushy sales,' but that did not occur. You can buy it all, or buy none of it.
+ Just looking at the racks was a lot of fun for me; I stayed within my budget for the day, but came home with a piece of jewelry, a short trench, and a cute skirt.
+ I plan to take this tour again, when I am back in the City. |

| We loved the sites we visited, but a little more history about the district would be good as well. |

| There were 5 women in our group and 3 of the 5 (including me) are plus sized. There was nothing for us to shop for other than a small amount of jewellery and some heavy, fur trimmed coats. We were disappointed, because we were in New York to shop. The designers need to realize there's a whole untapped market out there of plus sized women. We're not all size 2.
The tour guide (I believe her name was Molly) was wonderful. A very pleasant, easy-going and understanding young lady. |

| Only 2 of the 6 stops were interesting and the deals to be had at these two were not significant. The guide took us to the wrong places twice. She had no comments to make on the area and did not seem to be knowledgeable about history, architecture, or even local dining options. We didn't see any showrooms just storage areas. We've been on 2 food tours in NYC and enjoyed those enormously. |
