She helped me find clothes I love
Suzanne has a great eye for fashion and a real talent for finding styles that work for you, not just what’s trendy. As someone who is new to NYC and still figuring out my style here, shopping with her was incredibly helpful. She is patient, encouraging, and makes the most of your time together. She genuinely seems to enjoy helping people find clothes that make them feel good, and her honest feedback gave me more confidence in my choices. She’s also warm, fun, and easy to spend time with, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Shopping has never been one of my favorite activities, but Suzanne made it far less overwhelming and much more productive. I left with clothes I really like and a better sense of what works for me. I highly recommend her and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Fun!!
This is a private tour - the guide is knowledgeable and fun! She has a great eye for style and knows her way around the city!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! 😊 I'm so glad you had fun! It was a joy showing you around and sharing my favorite spots. I love helping people discover pieces that feel just right for them. Thank you again for the kind words — they really made my day.

Fabulous afternoon vintage shopping
Fantastic experience. Suzanne is very knowledgeable and able to grasp quickly what my style is. She included so many shops, definitely exceeding my expectations
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! 😊 I'm absolutely thrilled that you had such a fantastic time! It was a pleasure shopping with you. I really enjoyed getting to know you. You have an amazing style. So happy to hear I was able to include so many great shops and even exceed your expectations! Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review — it truly made my day. Please reach out on your next trip to New York City! Warmest regards, Suzanne

No Smiles Here
Our Tour Guide was supposed to take us shopping for a dress for a special occasion. She was not present with us and seemed to be preoccupied with buying fabric from the stores we visited. We never found anything and we ended the tour early when she suggested we go to Macy’s. Suzanne should probably stop being a guide sooner than later and find something she wants to do vs. feels obligated to do. My recommendation: choose a different tour, no smiles to be found here.
Response from the operator: I was truly surprised and disappointed to receive your 1-star review, as I went above and beyond to help you and your wife during our time together. Prior to the tour, I spent an entire day scouting vintage shops on my own time to ensure they had a good selection of long formal and special-occasion dresses, knowing how quickly inventory changes. During our shopping, I actively worked with the sales staff, pulling dresses from the racks specifically for your wife — I was NOT shopping for fabrics, as your review suggested. Before the tour, we had a pre-call at your request where you shared that your wife was looking for a nice dress for her niece’s wedding. I clearly let you know that vintage shopping involves uncertainty (“you never know what we will find”) and encouraged you to keep other options open. You mentioned that your wife would enjoy the experience of looking. When I asked about her size, you described her as “proportionate” for her height of 5’4”. Based on that, I expected she would fall in the US size 4–8 range. Unfortunately, she wasn’t any of those sizes and only one dress fit her that day. I even suggested we visit Macy’s afterward, where they carry a much wider range of sizes and styles. In addition, I again went beyond and met you at the end of your morning tour and escorted you back toward the city. When you mentioned hoping to locate your car, I took you to Katz’s Deli, a recognizable landmark from which you could easily find it. I was especially surprised by the review because you handed me a $50 tip at the end of the day. I’m sorry the dress shopping didn’t turn out as hoped. Vintage clothing comes with inherent limitations I’m sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations. Vintage stores have real limitations on sizing and availability, which I had mentioned upfront.

It was awesome!
Our guide Susanne was wonderful!! We loved her!!! She went above and beyond!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you!! This made my day! 😊 I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour and that you felt I went above and beyond. It was a pleasure spending the day with you both. Thank you for the kind words — I’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 119 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 21. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day?
+
Around 42 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private New York City Vintage + Secondhand Shopping Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
