| + Christina was a very knowledgeable tour guide, enthusiastic and quickly responded to many changes during the day, even a designer going into labor!
+ The shops were very interesting, and well organized
+ I found each one had items both within my price range and within my dream range
+ My one fear was that the staff would be 'pushy sales,' but that did not occur. You can buy it all, or buy none of it.
+ Just looking at the racks was a lot of fun for me; I stayed within my budget for the day, but came home with a piece of jewelry, a short trench, and a cute skirt.
+ I plan to take this tour again, when I am back in the City. |

| Never heard of most of the brands. The items clothes,jewelry,etc.look like they were last years better store clearance leftovers from 2007. No sizes after 12 thats for sure. Never saw a designer I,d heard of. The gift bag was a laugh. A tape measure and catalogue to make more money on. The guide was nice. |

| I was really excited about this tour, but it seems there wasn't much. You can easily walk around Fashion Avenue and there are lots of people handing out brochures on sample sales going on at the time. You could also probably hop online and figure it all out yourself. There were a couple of showrooms we visited, but not much stock. Most people hardly bought anything, and the pics on the tour webpage are definitely misleading. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

Good value for insider view on NYC fashion world

| I took my 16 year old daughter, who is interested in in a career as a Fashion Designer. I thought the tour helped to give her to a more realistic glimse of what a career in fashion might look like. Even though the showrooms lacked the glits and glammer that she is use to seeing on TV, she really enjoyed it. We both found a few bargins. However, I don't feel that the savings offset the cost of the tour. Samples ranged from $20 (scarfs) to $300 (high end winter coats). Although our guide was adequate, I would have preferred a guide that had more knowledge of the fashion industry. Overall though, I thought that the tour was worth while and suited our needs. |

| The Garment District tour was fun. The designers we spoke with were very interesting, and everyone in our group found great deals at the sample sales. It would have been an added plus if our tour guide had given the history of the area. |

| We had a wonderful time with Crystal. She was enthusiastic, fun and knowledgable of the fashion industry. I would love to do another tour when I come back to NYC. |
