See flowers being made by hand.

2 person tour. Seeing the process of making beautiful flowers in the actual factory. Everything was done by hand. Meeting the workers and seeing the whole set up. Friendliness of everyone.
Must See

Such a lovely surprise this tour was. Was fascinating how much goes into making these beautiful flowers of all shapes and sizes. I highly recommend this tour if you are traveling to NYC!
A fun unique and different activity to do in NYC

I had a brief stay in New York City and decided to give this a try as it seems something unique and different to do. I'm glad I did! Definitely a fun and educational experience. I have no fashion background and was just looking for interesting things to do during my brief trip, and I had a great time. You really get to see the whole factory and production process behind how they make beautiful fabric flowers. My guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it felt like he was very excited to give me the tour and show me what they do! He demonstrated specific parts of the process, as well as specific products and how they are crafted. At the end I was allowed to pick out a souvenir flower and shop around for more if I wanted. Side note, the location can be a bit hard to find - it's inside a building with several businesses and isn't really obvious from the street, so you will want to pay attention to directions.
Girls day out!
