Disappointed
My girls were looking forward to some style help. Isra did try a bit but mostly was shopping for her online vintage resale business and put things on hold at several locations when she thought we weren’t around. When the stores weren’t quite my girls taste, instead of pivoting and going elsewhere she said those were the ones on the list and we ended an hour early. Disappointed given it was a private tour so was hoping for a bit more attention.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this honest and insightful review! We completely understand the disappointment. In full transparency I did not do enough to fully understand if we could fulfill your daughter’s style preferences. My lesson now is to send more specific questions when a guest inquires about whether the tour is right for them or not. I apologize for my oversight. Please visit nycvintagemap.com for a very updated list of secondhand stores across all boroughs to help with your next shopping adventure. ❤️🙏🏼

Fantastic day with my daughter!
If you want a fun day of thrifting this is a MUST!! I have to admit I am not a big thrifter as those stores overwhelm me! But my daughter loves to thrift. Having our own personal shopper made ALL the difference. She know where to go, knew the people, and picked out great finds for us that we would have never found on our own! For about $500 my daughter practically has a whole new wardrobe! we actually had to buy another suitcase to take it all home! LOL. I had the ultimate find of a Chanel duffle bag for an unbeatable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks Isra. You are the best!
Operator response
yahooo!! New wardrobe success! We are so grateful your daughter had such success on the ultimate NYC secondhand shopping experience - and that YOU (the mom!) had a great time too! We really try to create an experience which speaks to everyone. We hope to have you back next year for another wardrobe revamp!

The best shopping spree!! 💗
I cannot recommend this secondhand shopping day tour enough! It was our first time in NYC and it can be so overwhelming with all the choices. What’s so brilliant about this tour is it makes the shopping experience so effortless and fun, you have all the best shops mapped out for you! Our tour guide Mecca was fantastic. She was so lovely and welcoming, it felt as if we were shopping with a friend! She has the best eye, took the time to get to know our style and gave tips on what would suit our shape and colouring. This shopping tour made us feel so inspired and excited to try new things and looks. We left with several bags of goodies and the biggest smiles on our faces. Thanks so much Mecca and Samantha, it was the best!!
Operator response
We are so grateful to YOU! Thank you for this lovely review and for your kindness. We are beyond grateful for guests such as yourself. Come back and book with us again soon!
