| My thirteen year-old grand-daughter and I both enjoyed the tour and found some good bargains. Our guide was cheerful throughout, and considerate of the group, and we were well received by the designers and wholesalers. |

| Christine was very good, lots of information of the area and the industry. We had our daughters (ages in mid to late 30's) with us but felt there was not as much interest for them. Another tour might have been more suitable for them. |

| Our out of town group of 3 women loved the idea of the shopping. There were a couple of places we went that only had 3 small racks and that is not worth it for a group of16 women to crowd in and try and see anything. Our guide was excellent but wish the quality of showrooms and selections had been a bit better.
I would recommend it but with the caveat that you will see a variety of clothes and half of them might not be acceptable for older women. |

| 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. |

| My daughter is 23 and we were in NY for a girls trip. I wanted to experience the garment district and go bargin shopping at sample sales. We had so much fun and while not every stop had clothing that we were interested in, about half of them did. We bought lots of great things and got a real sense of that part of town. Our guide was very helpful and did everything she could to make it a great experience. |

| We enjoyed our tour with ShopGotham. Our guide, Christina, was more than helpful and enthusiastic and even gave us ideas of places to visit and other shops to find in the city for good buys/specific things we were looking for. I was expecting a bit more of a "tour" than what we encountered. For the most part, the 5 stops we made were to shop off-the- rack designer items which were a bit short on sizes and selection as well. We were actually thinking we would be taking a tour of at least one or two designer offices and work sites but that really wasn't included at any of the stops. That would have been a nice complement to the shopping excursions. |

| My 19 year old daughter and I went on the shopping tour and we both loved it. We enjoyed it so much that the next time we are in New York City we plan on going again. Our hostess was great! All the designers were so friendly and very helpful. Thank you for a great experience! |
