| My daughters and I had a great time on the tour. Christina was very friendly and knowledgable. She really tried to help each participant find items they could purchase. We found some great deals and found out more about the fashion industry. Something both my daughters are interested in.
We are looking forward to doing the SOHO shopping outing on our next trip to New York. |

Garment District Tour was a great experience.

| My 14 year old daughter and I took this tour while in New York City. Our tour guide was wonderful. She gave us information about each designer we visited and pointers as to what to look for in each shop. The designers were very friendly and happy to see us come into thier shop. I found good deals on designer clothes for my daughter. It is worth the time and the money taking this tour. |

| This was the best tour ever! We enjoyed the sample sales with the best deals! Meeting the designers was a plus as well. It was a good way to experience NY fashion behind the scenes. Our tour guide Christina was great. She gave us the ins and outs of how to shop in NY and not spend a whole lot! |

| I went on this tour with my 16 year old daughter and her friend. Our tour guide, Julie, was fun and knowledgeable. The group size was very manageable. The tour had a nice variety from accessories to clothing (including outer wear and bathing suits). There were styles available for all of the age ranges in the group (two other mother/daughter groups were with us), although there were not a lot of choices in larger sizes (we happen to be small sizes, so it worked out great for us). Deals were terrific and well worth the price of the tour, alone. We loved being able to get into showrooms that aren't open to the public. Julie also gave us a sheet with some other places to visit, and had other shopping tips for the rest of the week. |

| My friend and I had a very good day and I would take the tour again. Although, I wouldn't want to go to the same shops. Grace Hats and Susan Bonomo were terrible and I wouldn't want to go back to either again. I design hats and was especially interested in going to Grace Hats -- what a dissappointment. If I were to do the tour again I, personally, would want to spend more time in trim shops. I was really hoping to come home with some fantastic ribbon. The people at Susan Bonomo made us feel like they were cleaning out their closet and wanted us to buy the stuff they no longer wanted.
Our tour guide was fantastic. She made us feel like a group of friends and I feel she went out of her way to make our day special. The schedule and timing was fantastic and we owe that all to our guide.
Oh yes, the Cosmetic Warehouse wasn't worth it either. In today's world, especially with my age group, we are using speciality make up and there wasn't anything there for us. |

| This is a fabulous and very fun insider shopping tour of the garment district. We bought great clothing and got good information about the manufacturing of designer clothes and accessories. We were fortunate to get Marla, the owner of the company, as our guide, and she was fun, lively, informative and brutally honest when we tried on clothes (always good to have!!).
Two suggestions: a few of our group members had large breasts, and were disappointed that many of the clothes didn't fit or look great on them. The largest size available seemed to be 8. I would suggest letting tour members know this in advance. The second suggestion would be to include more accessory show rooms -- maybe shoes and bags show rooms? This would also help the purchasing power of women who don't wear size 0 - 8 clothing.
Overall, however, this is a tour that is well worth it and definitely recommended!!! |

| Our group of eight friends enjoyed our guide, Julie, and our inside look at the garment district on our shopping tour. We were able to purchase some clothing and accessories at fabulous prices and get a behind the scenes look at the clothing business. |
