Holidays always include shopping, but who wants to spend precious time and dollars trying to find the best buys in unfamiliar territory? This year, shoppers can avoid the pitfalls and rely on Urban Shopping Adventures to hook them up with great sources for fashion and gifts at discount prices. Pioneering the concept with guided walking tours in Downtown L.A.’s teeming Fashion District, and now expanded to include Melrose Heights, Robertson Blvd, Rodeo Drive, West 3rd St., Pasadena’s dense shopping districts and other areas, as well as themes such as Vintage Shopping Adventures, the concierge guided outings share in-depth knowledge of locations and merchandise mix, and are tailored to the tastes and needs of each group.
Throughout November 2008, Urban Shopping Adventures celebrates their Five-Year Anniversary in business, providing guided shopping tours, with a "4 For 5 Offer". With four paying guests, the fifth person tours at no charge. Shoppers just need to mention this offer when reserving their group’s tour.
For the 2008 holiday season, special research uncovers the newest trends in fashion and gift buys, taking shoppers to hidden treasures in a wide range of price points and shopping environments, including sample sales and wholesale boutiques. Holiday fashion trends will include lots of scarves, leggings and other accessories that can adapt to many gifting needs and update a look with limited investment—a real necessity for more shoppers than ever this year.
Holiday shopping with Urban Shopping Adventures is fun and informative, turning a chore into a memorable holiday experience. Many groups of family and friends make the outing a holiday celebration in itself. The concierge guided tours offer a range of itineraries, price points and transport options. Bargain shoppers will be especially pleased with a trek through key parts of the 90-square block LA Fashion District, where the city’s newest designers often hold individual sample sales. Familiar labels abound at pricing 30% to 70% below retail. Guests can shop for everyone on their holiday list while browsing through a selection of the latest styles in denim, dresses, sweaters, jackets, trendy handbags, belts, sunglasses and more. There are optional stops to textile warehouses with bolts of fabric and trim in an array of styles and price points. They’ll also find shelves stocked with beads and crafting materials, party supplies, and home décor items.
The Holiday Shopping Tour includes basic amenities found on all Urban Shopping Adventures tours, including the "five-minute shopping school" orientation and a sturdy shopping bag loaded with maps, snack bars and bottled water.
Several tour packages are available including, the "Walking Adventure" option, in which two or more shoppers meet their guide, saving the added cost of tour transportation. For larger groups, the "Mini-Shuttle Adventure" includes transportation for groups from 14 to 24; the "Luxury Coach Adventure" offers a full-sized coach for groups from 40 to 57; and the "Custom Concierge Adventure" provides highly personalized service with pre-reserved appointments and mini-van or limousine options. Additional features, such as a fixed price lunch at one of several trendy eateries, can also be arranged at an additional charge for larger groups.
Most tours last three hours, and all tours can be custom-designed. Prices vary depending on the number of participants, transportation needs, and preferred dates. All packages offer personalized guidance to selected stores along the route with ample free time to shop at will. Group discounts are available for students, scouts and seniors. Advance reservations are required for all tours, which are offered Mondays through Saturdays, year-round (certain holidays excepted).
