| 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!!! |

Great! Would love to do it again!

| 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. |

| My 15 year-old daughter and I both agree that the Garment District Tour was the highlight of our long weekend in NYC. We had a wonderful tour guide, Molly, who was able to steer us through the shopping district with ease and expertise. We went to designer showrooms that were NOT open to the public and were able to get some beautiful designer clothes for incredibly low prices - like 10% - 30% of the cost of the items in the stores. We know this for a fact - because later we were shopping in Bloomingdales and some Soho boutiques and saw the same clothes for 10 times the price! We even met the designer in one of the showrooms and she helped my daughter put together some amazing outfits. We will be sure to book this EVERY time we come to NYC. Thank you Zerve and Shop Gotham for a wonderful experience. Mary and Lily Bernuth - Denver, Colorado |

| I signed up for this activity by myself, but felt very welcomed by our guide and the group as a whole. I felt I was the perfect customer being a middle-aged female customer. I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed it so much had I been male or a teen. I was the market customer the outlets were looking for in a customer.
We had more than enough time at every shop, sometimes too much time.
I really loved being able to go behind the scenes of the industry and get a peek of this retail experience.
I'd recommend it wholeheartedly and would love to do another tour. |

| My mother and I went on this trip and had a great time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to some very cool shops. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has been to NYC a few times and who would like to delve into the city's great shopping a little deeper. I'd do it again! Marian |
