| The tour was fantastic and perfect for me and my girlfriends. We have all been curious about sample sales and the fashion world tucked away within the buildings of the Fashion District. It completely indulged the fashionista-wannabes within us. And boy, did we shop! |

| I enjoyed this tour as it provided me with a lot of information about the fashion industry in New York City. It was a terrific way of beginning a shopping week-end with my daughter and if I had not taken the tour I would probably not have even considered browsing through the Garment District. Most of the designer warehouses that we visited had limited samples of clothes that were available for purchase and many of those were in small sizes but all in all there was something for everyone and our tour operator was so informative not only about this area but she provided us with an itinerary of shopping that we could explore on our own in other areas of the city. In addition if you are looking for fabric or accessory trims and buttons and things you definately should go to the Garment District. |

| We enjoyed our tour. We got to see a working showroom and current pieces being marketed to buyers. It was a good overview and something we wouldn't have been able to do on our own. Several of the showrooms were geared towards older women so my daughter was a bit disappointed. It would have been nice to be able to choose a tour designed for 15-25 year olds. There seemed to be something that appealed to everyone on the tour, so that was nice. My daughter enjoyed the warehouse with the prom dresses. One of the locations we visited was open to the public, so it wasn't anything special getting to go in. |

| My sisters,16 year old niece, and I took the garment district tour on March 28. We had a wonderful experience! Marla, our guide, was like having an insider friend show you around town. She was funny, personabIe and knew a lot about the garment district. I was excited to get into designer showrooms and actually meet some of the designers we know by labels. My niece said afterwards that she hadn't thought she would actually get cool stuff - she came away with 3 prom dresses ($30 each - a steal), tops and accessories. We all found bargains that we loved! There was something for everyone - but no pressure to buy. We saw a lot in 3 hours! It would've been a fun tour w/o buying a thing! Marla helped our whole group capture the charm and experience of the fashion district! She gave us plenty of time to shop, but knew when to move on to the next place - quite a feat given the variety of our group - 3 college students, a young woman, 1 teen and 6 middle age women. She even told us NOT to buy a pair of jeans that had writing on them - she said it wouldn't come out in the wash! This tour is definitely a "must" when you visit NYC. We are looking forward to booking the Soho Nolita tour when we return. I have only been back 2 days and have already recommended this tour to many of my friends! |

| 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. |

| 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. |
