Seek New York Tours is pleased to kick off their full schedule of New York shopping tours for the spring/summer 2014 travel season.

Seek’s NYC shopping tours provide a unique perspective on the shopping and fashion in New York City. Led by a professional designer and licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide, Seek tours combine aspects of design, shopping, fashion history, sightseeing, and more.


Beginning April 1, Seek will offer a selection of affordable small group public tours, including:

Garment District Tour
An introduction to the New York City Garment District. Includes fashion landmarks, history of the garment and retail industries, popular TV locations, famous fashion design schools, and more.

Tour customers receive exclusive discounts at neighborhood fabric stores, trim stores, and restaurants. $39/person.

Fabric & Trim Shopping Tour
A tour designed for those who sew, craft, quilt, or just love fabrics!

Ideal for fashion history buffs and anyone with an interest in New York City history. $36/person.

Public New York City shopping tours and fashion history tours are affordable group excursions which are open to the general public. Most public tours are capped at eight (8) people to guarantee a personal experience for each guest. Tickets must be purchased online in advance of the tour.
