Example Tour Itinerary: Knowledge and Shopping
Day 1: Knowledge (4 hours)
We'll meet at your hotel and visit a large antique jewellery store to learn about different eras, examine examples of each, and get an idea for pricing. Then after we head to the V&A to admire the jewellery exhibit while we refine your shopping strategy- or relax over a meal while discussing the day and planning the adventure ahead.
Day 2: Shopping (4 hours)
I'll pick you up from your hotel in a car, and we'll head to a market and its trusted dealers that I know will have the pieces you are seeking. Together, we'll hunt for the perfect pieces, negotiate deals, and celebrate your finds over lunch (with my time eating/drinking off the clock).
