    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.

    Response from the operator: 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. ❤️🙏🏼

    Amazing!

    Isra was absolutely fantastic! My mom and I had a great time shopping around the city with her and she was extremely accommodating! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in luxury shopping!

    Response from the operator: Jacqueline, we are so glad that we were able to host you and mother for an Upper East side luxury shopping experience!!! The weather was on your side. Isra loved working with you. <3

    Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper cost?

    +

    Prices start at $195 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 Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 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 Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper?

    +

    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 Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper?

    +

    Around 8 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper 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 NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. 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.

    What is included in Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper?

    +

    Included: Bags & bags of NYC shopping bargains. Not included: Cost of Goods Purchased at the Stores; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper?

    +

    Each private group meets at the cafe of the ACE Hotel lobby and cafe for a pick-me-up perk before our marathon session of secondhand bargain shopping!! ACE Hotel is located at 20 W 29th Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Private Secondhand Bargain Shopping & Styling Tour with a Personal Shopper if the weather is bad?

    +
