This was thee coolest and most unique tour I’ve done! It was like thrifting with a personal shopper. Susanne was great! She asked me questions to learn my style, then took me to different stores around the city. She then searched the store for try-on options which allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. I walked away with some amazing finds! She has an eye for great fabrics and quality pieces! 10/10 would recommend! Really cool experience!

It's always nice to know that it was worth your time shopping with me. When visiting the city most people want to make the most of their time. So thank you for the lovely review and feel free to reach out with any question you may have if you are ever in the city again.
