Five star shopping trip
I took my 20-year-old daughter and my 16-year-old niece on a shopping trip with Kate. It was excellent. Kate was great with the girls. She quickly learned their style and was suggesting things from the racks. We had enough time to really dig in to each place. Thank you for a really memorable day for me with these two girls.

Fashion lovers dream date
Quentin was well versed in consignment! He was fun and helpful. Worth every penny to have his assistance shopping. I found some real treasures.

Touring as a fashion/textile student
I chose this tour as a way to find reference garments for my final project in fashion school. I'm from a city mostly known for sportswear fashion and NYC is of course an awesome playground of fashion creativity. I get easily overwhelmed but being on the tour with Quentin was like having fun, "structured" play. He helped me by pulling items he thought I would like and set aside the pieces I pulled. The other people on the tour were so cool too. I am happy by my first experience and would sign up again when I return to NYC.
Response from the operator: Cielito! We are so so happy to hear that the tour was everything you needed as a design and fashion student. I am THRILLED you were able to work with Quentin. Thank you for choosing our small business and we hope to host you again!

Thrift adventure
We had the best time! Mecca was lovely and helpful and just really knowledgeable about all the shops. Highly recommend - takes the pressure off and you can just relax and take in the experience. My son found so many great finds and is so excited for his new wardrobe.
Response from the operator: We are so so grateful that you booked the Ultimate NYC secondhand shopping experience! We are thrilled that the tour offers a TON of finds for both genders and that your son found what he was looking for in the Big Apple. Please don't hesitate keeping in touch, we would love to host you again!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience 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 The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 111 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience?
+
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 The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience 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 The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience?
+
Around 39 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 The Ultimate NYC Secondhand Shopping Experience 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.
