Sandra was great fun and very knowledgeable about the fashions and the designers plus she personalized her recommendations for each tour member. I was a most enjoyable tour; highly recommended!

The cost of this trip was too expensive for what it actually was. We visited 1 large department store and 2 resale shops. We attempted to visit 2 other shops but they were closed. We learned more from other participants on the tour than the guide about other resale shops in Paris. Would suggest the guide provide a list of shops that we could visit on our own after the tour to provide more benefit for the cost.

Sorry, you don't have to share with visitors to your web site, but this was awful...guide shopped more than we did. We dressed more for the occasion than she did. Started late, and she ran us through the Bon Marche, which we were capable of examining on our own. I had trouble confirming the appointment. I left several voice mails and she finally called back the day before. We were in Paris ten days and this was the low point. Also, in rereading the paperwork, I realized we were supposed to receive a map, but we didnt. Very disappointing! I don't know who got the money, but it wasn't worth it.

Do not book this tour! There was no discount couture. In the first half and hour we went across the road from the meeting place to Bon Marche department store to shop then to a jeans shop and then Converse. It is a misleading and waste of money and time tour. It reads so well on the tour description but delivers none of it. Everyone on the tour left the tour disgusted and disappointed. I have since contacted Viator and the tour operator in Paris and to complain. Viator doesn't have a complaints email address and the tour operator in Paris is only an answering machine. Viator should investigate these tours before offering them to the public. I have eventually received a response from Viator but they now need to deal with the tour operator. What a sham and a waste of my $149. I repeat - do not book this tour.
