      Shopping with a New Yorker that knows her stuff!!!!
      Kimberly_M, Apr 2024
      Suzanne was our guide for the vintage fashion tour. I wasn't really sure what to expect since it was a small group (only 4 of us). My daughter and I both enjoyed the variety and how cool Suzanne was. I scored some sweet vintage cargo jeans, beautiful sheer duster and my daughter purchased a cute handbag. There were so many other things that we bought but those were our favorites. I liked the ease of how she navigated us to multiple shopping places that had something for everyone. The follow up maps and shopping ideas that she sent us were so cool, we were able to visit some sample sales the next day. I would recommend this tour with Suzanne because she is a gem. Thank you my friend. It was such a great mother/daughter time.
      Suzanne is amazing! We...

      Suzanne is amazing! We went to find my 18 y.o. daughter a dress for prom. She wanted unique and like most teens, she can be picky!! We went to about 8-9 different stores (I lost count). It was so much fun. She knows where to go to find what you’re looking for and stay within your price point. I would recommend her to anyone! Just let her know what you’re shopping for and enjoy the walk around the city!!
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Thank you for the lovely review. I have to say that she made the dress what it is. Ending our day, walking away with something special is what it's all about. She will be the bell of the prom!
      Made me feel alive again!!
      Kristen_S, Feb 2024
      Suzanne helping us take the subway to Brooklyn and exploring a few stores there was our favorite part! Found some GREAT stuff and even went back the next day on our own to check out the restaurants and see more of that area.
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Happy to know that your time was well spent! Thank you for the review.
      Wonderful!

      Extremely enjoyable! Thank you
      Linda_B, Dec 2023
      Suzanne is so fun and informative. She customizes the tour to your interest. I felt like she was my personal shopper as she tried to find things that she thought I would like and help me decide on others. It was fun to see other areas of the city. She also helped me to understand the subway system better. I highly recommend her and the service she provides. She’s great!

      Hi Linda, I hope to see you another time!

      Great tour. Even got to visit a fantastic chocolate store. Tour guide was very accommodating, even started later for us due to train schedule.

      Linda, You girls were wonderful! Please reach out to me for an updated map and I'll be happy to provide you with one! I Thank you for the lovely review.
      Highly recommend!!

      Suzanne was super knowledgeable. My two late teens had a hugely successful and fun day of shopping. Suzanne expertly tailored the experience to our taste.
      Response from Host, Jan 2023
      Thank you Lisa. We could tell by the number of bags...the kids had a very successful shopping day! Remember if you do come back to the city just reach out to me for a new map. I'll be happy to share it with you.
      Fantastic day!
      Abigail_J, Dec 2022
      Suzanne really knows vintage shopping and has a fabulous eye for quality vs fake or poorly made items. She also knows the city well and tailors the experience to what you want. It was so great to see shopping in nyc like a local :)

      Laura_E, Oct 2022
      I love shopping with Suzanne, she is my best new shopping friend whenever I plan to go to New York. She has the knowledge and knows the designer society. I truly felt that she has a compassion for helping everyone find what they are looking for or learning to gain more knowledge. Please take care Suzanne and I hope to see you in Dec 2022, . We love you, from Hawaii….
      Lots of stops!
      Anne_B, Jul 2022
      My daughter found a lot of great clothes! Suzanne was a great guide. We were exhausted by the end. The prices were reasonable.
      Response from Host, Jul 2022
      I'm glad she had a good time and now will know more spots to shop in the city where she can shop nice reasonably priced clothing with her friends at their own pace .

      jennifer_R, Jul 2022
      Susannah was a wonderful guide and helped us find some great pieces! She took us to several great stores! We had a great time and really enjoyed her company.
      Response from Host, Aug 2022
      Hi Jennifer, please excuse my late reply. I'm happy to know that you ended up with some new pieces. Shopping with you was a pleasure!
      Excellent vintage shopping excursion
      ndbkcprksq, Jul 2022
      Suzanne did a great job showing us around the vintage world of New York. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable and listened carefully to our input to shape the experience for us.
      Response from Host, Aug 2022
      I'm happy you enjoyed your time shopping with me! Hopefully I'll see you again.
      So much fun!

      Suzanne is an excellent listener and she takes the time to really understand what we were looking for. It was so fun and she’s an excellent resource.

      City shopping
      Kristin_T, Jun 2022
      We had a really great day with Suzanne taking us to a variety of places. Beacon’s Closet was our favorite! My 21 yr old daughter has a very alternative and unique style and she found several great pieces including a beautiful silk wrap skirt and some fun wingtip shoes. Suzanne made several suggestions and emailed after the fact with more locations for us to check out. Definitely recommend!
      Response from Host, Jun 2022
      It was a wonderful time shopping with you and the girls. I am happy they found pieces they will enjoy wearing while remembering their trip with you to New York. Have a beautiful summer.
      My best tour so far in NYC
      Gowriarthi_G, Apr 2022
      What can I say about this tour, its more than a tour. It was personal shopping experience in NYC brought to life by Suzanne and I am just so glad it was with her. I had the privilege's of having her all to my self yesterday. We went to at least 5 different stores and with her knowledge of designers, fabrics, cut and garment care, I was able to get at least 5-7 outfits. She not only brings you to these stores but also helps find your outfits that fit your body shape, complexion and style. She also shares a list of other contemporary designer stores after the trip for shopping at your leisure. Honestly this was one of the best tours I have done and it felt like I was going shopping with a friend. Definitely recommend her if you enjoy shopping and wanting to experience the fashion scene in NYC!
      Response from Host, Apr 2022
      Thank you for taking the time to write such a raving a review! I so appreciate it. I love shopping and likewise had a lovely day shopping with you. You were so lucky to have me to yourself where we could shop the stores I felt would suit you. As the city heats up, ZTrend's tours will too. Next time you are planning a visit through New York reach out to join another group or maybe plan a private day where we shop alone for 5 full hours! It would be lovely to shop with you again.
      The NY you wouldn't see otherwise, the real thing.
      Daniele_T, Apr 2022
      Suzanne carries to you the deepest soul of New York: she is not "in" NY she "is" NY. She kindly accepted to adapt her tour to a somewhat younger audience, with a volatile and difficult to read taste, but managed to have everybody delighted both by the treasures they found and by the constant feeling of curiosity on what would be coming next. Besides the tour as such, the way Suzanne navigates the subway is almost magical, as if each single step she does had been tuned for years for maximum smooth efficiency.
      Response from Host, Apr 2022
      I thoroughly enjoyed shopping with your young family and it delights me that you too enjoyed your time shopping with me. Who knows... maybe I'll shop with the girls another time in the future!
      Fun Fashion Tour!
      Shanna_N, Apr 2022
      This was a wonderful tour! My niece loves secondhand and vintage clothes. Our tour guide Suzanne was extremely knowledgeable and fun. She got to know my nieces taste and then took us on a journey through lots of NYCs vintage and secondhand shops. She helped my niece pick out some fun finds and my niece found plenty on her own. Would definitely recommend this tour for the fashionistas or even the unfashionable like myself! Lol!
      Response from Host, Apr 2022
      It's nice to hear that you both enjoyed your time with me. I absolutely love shopping and it's always a pleasure when I'm with those who also enjoy shopping. Have a beautiful summer.
      Teen Birthday Vintage/Thirft Store Tour
      Erica_H, Dec 2021
      Had the best day in New York City with my two teen daughters and Suzanne! The meet up location was perfect my teens were able to grab a snack and there was a bathroom. Walking distance from Penn Station. We chatted a bit with Suzanne so she got to know what the girls interest were and what they were looking for and then we set off. Suzanne did a great job of pulling pieces and taking us to many different stops she even gave us some historical fashion background and walked us by some of the murals that we have been wanting to see. She knows the best places to get snacks and at the end provided us with a list of stores and a map in case we wanted to come back on our own. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Guide was very knowledgeable and tailored it to our interests. My daughter was looking for a specific piece of clothing and she went home with exactly what she wanted.
      Response from Host, Dec 2021
      Thank you for the lovely review. I enjoyed spending the day shopping with you and your girls. It makes me happy to know you enjoyed your time with me. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Who knows, maybe we'll shop together again some day!
