The best thing in life is shopping! best thing ever!! i have never found myself surrounded with so many great brands in one place. The choices were unlimited, to the extent that it was actually confusing! i did not know what to buy, so my advice to any woman who wants to join a shopping tour is to write down exactly what she needs. and of course bring a lot of money LOL!! also i would like to say that the tour was well organized and the tour guide was really friendly and helpful. I just wish his English was a little better.

I love shopping, so as any other woman. Of course, my husband also loves buying brand stuff. That made him come to this tour with me. We had a great time together after a very long time. Thankfully we made to this tour that took us to such an amazing shopping outlet center. We never knew there were tours conducted to offer us a buying choice of the best available and our tour guide was very helpful in making the choices or even in identifying the shops of our choice. We were given time to consider and reconsider, I recommend 5 stars.

I loved this tour for the first time in my life. It is always that my mom does all the shopping for me and I always either run short of time, lack decision that what my mom says. Anyway, this time I had no one correcting me or overruling my choice of clothes. I bought all the stuff I like and I am very happy to be on this tour. The guide was a great man, but he did not have time to attend to everyone. I would have appreciated him to help me in buying, but he lacked time.
