Suzanne was amazing and took us to places we would never have found. A truly fabulous experience and worth every cent as the savings and bargains we found more than covered the cost of the experience !!

My teens and I loved our tour with Suzanne! It was my birthday present to both of them. They felt so taken care of by her and loved the personal shopping experience. She asked the right questions to understand both of my daughters' tastes. While we were walking she could keep up a random conversation with me and find clothes to show them while they were shopping thru the racks. I can't wait to book a private shopping tour with Suzanne next time I'm in NY. We had so much in common, I feel like I found a new friend!

I had a great day with Suzanne on my recent trip to New York. It was like going shopping with a good friend! Plenty of quirky, interesting shops to see that you would never find on your own. Lots of chat on the way round & lots of support looking for items that you might like. I bought lots of lovely things to bring home to the UK that I’m sure will get lots of admiring comments on! Thank you Suzanne for a lovely day out and about in New York and thank you for taking the time to walk me back to my hotel! I would highly recommend the trip for any age, on your own (as I was) or in a group of friend together.
