Shopping tour to Milan
I want to tell you a little about my shopping in Milan.
A trip to a shopping tour in Milan was planned by me for a long time, but because I knew nothing about this country, nor about shopping in it, I scanned the entire Internet, all sites and forums in search of at least some information on my topic, but because I am a budget traveler and did not want to overpay a lot of money in a travel agency for such a tour, given that all the outlets they offer to visit can really be found on the Internet and follow the directions, while saving a good amount.
The main problem I faced was that I could not find a companion I needed, flying from St. Petersburg, who was interested in shopping, etc. , one really did not want to travel, especially with ignorance of the language.
And then one of my friends told me that she went on a tour to France in a group and there probably are such people in Italy, I began to search and found..... and I want to notice quite a lot of them, all are different both in cost and in routes. I stopped at one of them, where photos from trips, a program and an adequate cost were already presented, and most importantly for me, they promised to find a couple in the room if they would save money on the hotel. I read reviews about this tour, even wrote to one girl who visited Milan with this company to make sure of the reliability. All arranged and I started to act....
A little about the shopping tour program: the trip was for 5 days, included a sightseeing tour of Milan on the day of arrival, a trip to shoe factories, this is certainly something... shoes are stunned, but not about that, then we visited the Armani outlet, until that moment I thought, that Armani is an unattainable brand for me, but it turned out to be the opposite, jeans for 30 euros, T-shirts for 10 euros, a windbreaker for 40 euros, in general, I understood the whole buzz of sales, even one Armani.
After that, we went to the D&G outlet, of course, apart from underwear, glasses and jeans, I couldn’t buy anything else, until I can afford dresses for 300-400 euros
The next day we visited the Seravalle outlet, there are a lot of reviews about it, both negative and positive, I will tell my opinion, for those who travel to Milan for the first time, this is an amazing place, when you see the prices, you think... well, nevermind Calvin Klein jeans for 20 euros - I take them!! ! Many of the group went here more than once and say that, they say, the things are old, there are no sizes, the prices are so-so....I think... oh my God, wow people, how can you not choose anything or say such things... nonsense, then I look They come in packages, and then I thought, why then such conversations, once with purchases.
Also the next day we visited the lake. Como, where the tour was included, plus we rode a boat and climbed the funicular into the mountains, an unforgettable experience, after the lake they brought us to the Fox Town outlet, I can say briefly, of course, things are more expensive, but because. I already got a taste, 100 euros for Chanel ballet flats didn't matter
A little about the cost of my trip, as well as what kind of cash limit you need to have for purchases, now I know for sure, otherwise some wrote at least 3 thousand euros, and who generally said not to take less than 5 thousand euros, otherwise the trip won't pay off.
The price for the tour cost around 23 thousand rubles. for everything and included: flights, 4 * hotel, breakfasts, excursions, transfers on all routes and more escort, as I was told for escort and organization, which in my opinion is deserved and budgetary. The tour was arranged in parts, tickets were immediately bought for the group, the hotel was paid for about a week later, as they found a couple in the room. Transfers a couple of weeks before the trip, and money for escort was collected only in Italy.
How much money to take with me, I’ll tell you by my own example, I took 35 thousand rubles with me, of course I spent everything, but I also dressed myself completely and my husband got something, I bought shoes and bags only at factories, as the attendants advised, because here it was 2-3 times cheaper than in Milan itself or in the outlet, plus they can stretch the shoes for free if they are a little small, the girls who dressed only in Gucci, Chanel, etc. went with me. they spent about 3 thousand euros. updating the wardrobe, well, something like that.
I want to say my opinion about group tours - it's cool, not only is it really cheaper, because. the group is large and the fare costs a penny, you won’t save one, but you also spend time in a cool company. Everyone is positive and loves wine, but maybe I came across such a group...
So I advise everyone to Milan, shopping there is super, I think it’s clear from my packages
