Wonderful

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!

Well Worth the Time and Cost

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. Wendy R. Calgary, Canada

Interesting opportunity
Fri, Apr 20, 07   10:00 AM mercilane Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Well worth the trip to go on this tour
Fri, Apr 13, 07   11:00 AM sburke34 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of SoHo and Nolita. Our guide was knowledgable providing history as well as pointers to great shops. She even found a sample sale going on in the neighborhood and took us to the sale. I found that the discounts that came with the tour covered the cost, so it was all very reasonable. I was from out of town. The tour helped me feel comfortable in the area. I was more comfortable shopping after havnig had the tour. It gives a good overview of the area. My friend and I stayed for several hours and shopped in many stores. It was great. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful tour even in the rain!
Wed, Apr 4, 07   10:00 AM Shopping2 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

FABULOUS FINDS
Wed, Mar 28, 07   10:00 AM SusanFaust Female 40-49 Local Individual
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!!

A fun and different side of New York
Wed, Mar 28, 07   10:00 AM annetpfeffer Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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!

Good way to get your feet wet in Soho
Sat, Mar 24, 07   11:00 AM Trinityrose Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I enjoyed the tour. It got us to Soho and showed us around the streets. There were a few shops that I enjoyed and returned to after the tour but a lot of the shops were of little interest to me. Also there was a group of women who felt the necessity to buy at each stop. Each shop was alotted about 10 minutes. Therefore we were always waiting for them. The guide, Molly was fine but as she dropped us off at our last location, she disappeared so quickly that I did not have an opportunity to tip her. For that I felt badly. I recommend the tour for newcomers to New York who feel unsure of being independently adventurous. It was a cofortable way to prowl the streets of Soho and do great window shopping. It should be stated at the beginning of the tour that purchases should be made after the tour so as not to hold up the entire group.

Great Tour to get to know the Fashion District!
Fri, Mar 23, 07   10:00 AM mmesman Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The Gotham Garment Center Insider Tour was fanatastic! Three hours flew by as we were introduced to designers and products at wholesale prices. It was helpful to get to know the fashion district for future trips and our guide was wonderful.

Highly Do Not Recommend This Tour -- RIP OFF
Wed, Mar 21, 07   10:00 AM BMorrison Female 40-49 Unspecified Family With Children
Our tour guide, Marla, had NO fashion experience. We had 3 adults and 2 teenagers on the tour. Out of the 12 places listed we DID NOT go to all of them. One show room was closed. You saw selected "designer" names unrecognizable. The H&M, DAFFY's, and Felines Basement Discount Designer Store, which we went to outside of the tour, were great bargains with alot of designer merchandise. TJMaxx Store and Marshall's Store in NC have merchandise from known designers that put this tour to shame and you do not pay a "rip off" fee of $65 each. One showcase "Marla" took us to gave us a discount of only 2 to 3 dollars. The merchandise shown was of "poor" quality. On show room had only a small rack of approximately 30 items available to look at. Another bathing suit store sold unrecognizable name suits beginning at $100 and no one in our group purchased anything there. This was a waste of $65 per person and the tour was not even complete. I am very disappointed that your agency sold us a bill of goods. Our time in NYC was valuable and your "advertisement" made it sound to a teenager researching the internet you had access to purchase top names at 50-80% below retail. I am still waiting to see that merchandise. I bought nothing, my girlfriend bought nothing, and my 13 year old purchased 1 pair of shoes, a top and a dress which were no big deal. I guess when you spend 3 hours running in and out of buildings you puchase something for no real reason. The "tour" guide acted guilty that we were not impressed as we tried on not 1 single item. I would say "WARNING WARNING RIP OFF OF A TOUR". Save your $65 each and go shopping at all the glorious discount stores and vintage shops open to the public. When we booked this tour I asked for feedback from your company. I was told that only "6" people had responded with good remarks. I also asked if any of these so called sample sales were open to the public? I was told no they were not. This is false information. We saw "signs" at some places on the street announcing "sample sales". We stayed at the"Westin" Hotel. I showed the Hotel the information and they had never heard of your company or this tour. I will make sure it is not recommended at the hotel either. I am extremely disappointed and quite frankly feel a "refund" is in order. Again, we did not visit all the showrooms indicated by our not so knowledgeable tour guide. Most stores advertise "satisfaction guaranteed". Where do you stand behind this rip off tour????? FYI: My daughter purchased dresses valued at $450 for $50 at Daffy's Store. Great Place to Shop. She purchased designer Rock Port bluejeans valued at $200-$300 for $50 at Feline's Basement. Another great discount spot. Shop there my friends without any gimicks and a guarantee for your purchases. Brenda Morrison Charlotte, North Carolina

WORTH THE TIME FROM TEXAS
Fri, Mar 16, 07   11:00 AM LanaSikora Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We had a fantastic time. All the stores we visited were one of a kind and each of them had a unique history as to how they started and the items they carried. Marla, our guide was so informative on each store and everyone in the stores were very gracious and treated our tour group well. We even saw a celebrity :) in one of the stores, so that made our day. I would do it again in a heartbeat, a MUST to do if you enjoy unique stores and shopping. Lana-Texas
