| 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. |

| I was overwhelmed with the thorough and professional manner of Mollie. She was completely charming, adorable and enthusiastic with our group and equally knowledgeable about the fashion business. Mollie brought us to sample sales that had amazing clothes and incredible prices - most importantly the sales were full of merchandise that was of great quality which meant great value. The best part of the tour was that there was something for everyone - whether you were young and wanted something a little daring and hip or older and wanted a little more conservative item. These were places that I would never have found on my own and I am so thankful for her guidance and mastery of the sample sale world...and hi to the ladies on my tour who were so much fun!! |

| Our leader, Molly, was terrific -- very accommodating, enthusiastic, and helpful. In this tour, you basically go around to whatever sample sales are on that day, so it's partly a matter of luck whether you will find great clothes for a bargain price. The smaller you are and the less specific your needs, the more chance you have of finding something. I just enjoyed seeing a small part of this world, even though I didn't buy much. You meet at M&J Trimmings, the biggest notions store I've ever seen, and for me, that alone made it worth doing. Have fun! |
