Your day starts with a hotel pickup—whether you’re in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Boca Raton—and a comfortable ride in a private SUV. This means no worries about parking or traffic, and you’ll start the day feeling relaxed.
Stores most interest you
You’ll visit stores that match your shopping list, from thrift and specialty stores to high-end boutiques. The guides boast years of experience, so they’ll suggest options you might not find on your own, helping you access exclusive stores such as Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJ’s Wholesale Club—some of which require membership.
Midday break
Between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., you’ll pause for lunch (not included in the price). This break allows you to recharge and discuss what’s been working so far, or plan your next stops.
Afternoon shopping spree
Post-lunch, the shopping continues until about 6:30 p.m., with your guide suggesting additional stores based on your interests. You’ll have ample time to browse, compare prices, and secure the best deals—knowing you’re getting familiar, personalized treatment.
The Value of Expert Guidance
One of the standout features of this tour is the presence of two professionals who know the local shopping scene inside out. They’ll give you advice on finding great deals, recommend stores you might not have discovered alone, and guide you through the shipping process if you wish to send your purchases home. This last point is especially handy for international travelers or those worried about lugging heavy bags through airports.
The Stores & Unique Access
You’ll enjoy access to stores that often require memberships, such as Sam’s Club, Costco, or BJ’s Wholesale Club. This access can be a game-changer for those looking for bulk deals or exclusive items.

Who Will Love This Experience?
This tour is ideal for travelers who prefer a tailored, private shopping experience rather than wandering alone or joining larger, generic tours. It suits those wanting insider access to exclusive stores, and who appreciate professional guidance on shopping and shipping logistics. It’s especially good for people who value comfort and convenience, and who are willing to pay a premium for personalized service.
However, it might not be suitable for people over 95 years old or those unprepared for a full day of shopping. Also, if your priority is sightseeing rather than retail therapy, this tour might not be the best fit.
What’s Included & What’s Not
The price covers a personalized shopping plan, transportation, advice throughout the day, access to affiliate stores, and bottled water. Meals and shipping are not included, though assistance with packing and shipping is available for an additional fee—helping you avoid the stress of international shipping or bulky luggage.
The Real Experience from Previous Travelers
Reviewers highlight the friendly, knowledgeable guides who go out of their way to tailor the experience. One said, “Carlos and his team were incredibly helpful, guiding me through the best stores and giving great tips on shipping.” Others appreciated the exclusive access to members-only stores, noting they couldn’t have accessed such deals on their own.
Some reviewers mention the full-day format as both a pro and a con. While the experience is comprehensive, it demands a full commitment, so if you’re looking for just a quick shopping trip, this might feel intense.
The Bottom Line: Is This Tour Worth It?

If you love shopping and want a stress-free, personalized experience, this tour offers excellent value. The tailored itinerary means you’re not wasting time on stores that don’t interest you, and the insider access can lead to real savings. Plus, having professionals help with shipping ensures your purchases arrive safely at home.
This experience suits those who prefer a luxurious, guided shopping day with all the logistics taken care of. It’s particularly ideal for travelers who want to maximize their shopping time without the hassle of navigating Miami’s busy retail scene alone.
It’s not the cheapest way to shop, but the personalized service, exclusive entries, and storage assistance can make it worthwhile—especially if you’re buying in bulk or splurging on higher-end items.
