Experience the Comfort and Exclusivity of a Private Trip to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets
If shopping for luxury brands at discounted prices sounds appealing, a private trip to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets might be just what you need. For $995 per group (up to five people), this approximately 8-hour journey offers a luxurious, hassle-free way to escape the city and indulge in some retail therapy. The trip includes pickup in Manhattan, private transportation in a climate-controlled vehicle, and flexible departure times tailored to your schedule.
What we love about this experience are two key details. First, the personalized nature—you’re the only group on this journey, which means flexible timing and a tailored experience. Second, the convenience of door-to-door service, saving you from navigating public transit or crowded buses. The ride itself is part of the luxury—quiet, comfortable, and equipped with bottled water to keep you refreshed.
One consideration is that meals are not included, so you’ll want to budget extra time and money for dining or snacks during your shopping spree. Also, while the trip is perfect for serious shoppers, it might not be suitable if you prefer guided tours with commentary or a less flexible schedule. This experience is ideal for those who want to maximize shopping time and enjoy privacy.
This tour is great for fashion enthusiasts, bargain hunters, or anyone looking to combine luxury shopping with the comfort of private transport. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to treat yourself, it caters well to travelers who value convenience, privacy, and premium brands.

Prefer personalized experiences? Here are other private options we've covered in New York
The Journey Begins: Comfort in Transit
Starting in Manhattan, this trip offers the rare luxury of being picked up directly from your hotel or any preferred location within the city. The private, climate-controlled vehicle—either a van or sprinter—sets the tone for a relaxed day. As we headed north, the city faded behind us and the scenery shifted to open fields and retail signs, building anticipation for the shopping ahead.
The ride itself is an underrated part of the experience. With bottled water provided, the journey feels like a mini retreat from the city’s hustle. The size of the group—up to five people—ensures that you won’t be jostled in large crowds, allowing for a quieter, more exclusive experience. Plus, the private vehicle means you can leave your larger purchases safely inside, avoiding the hassle of carrying bags while browsing.
Arriving at Woodbury Common: An Outlet Paradise
Once at Woodbury Common, you’ll find over 250 stores, including flagship outlet stores for Gucci, Saint Laurent, Prada, Burberry, and Moncler, among others. The shopping environment is sprawling but well organized, with a good mix of luxury and more accessible brands. We loved the fact that many stores offer discounts of up to 65%, making high-end brands more accessible than ever.
The outlets are housed in a spacious, open-air setting, which makes browsing more comfortable, especially if the weather is nice. The layout is designed for casual strolling, and with over 80 stores dedicated to luxury brands, there’s plenty to explore. Whether you’re after a designer handbag or a pair of sneakers, this is the place to find bargains.
Shopping and Dining Options
At Woodbury, you have the freedom to take your time. The six-hour shopping window is ample for most, and you can pop in and out of stores at your own pace. We appreciated the ability to leave your shopping bags in the vehicle, eliminating the weight and clutter as you move through the stores.
When hunger strikes, you’ll find a variety of dining options. Favorites include Shake Shack, Bareburger, Parm, and Kinton Ramen, along with quick bites from Cinnabon, McDonald’s, or the Market Hall at Chipotle. For a sweet treat or afternoon pick-me-up, Lady M Cake Boutique offers decadent cakes and desserts. Since meals are not included, plan ahead if you want a sit-down lunch or a quick snack.
Personalized Service & Flexibility
One of the standout features of this private tour is the flexibility. You choose your departure time, which makes it easier to coordinate with your plans in Manhattan. Since it’s a private experience, you’re not constrained by bus schedules or group itineraries. This means more time for shopping and less time waiting or traveling.
The private transportation also allows you to store your purchases safely in the vehicle. We loved the peace of mind this provided, especially as some of us bought larger or more expensive items. After hours of browsing and buying, the ride back to Manhattan feels like a luxury retreat, with plenty of time to relax and reflect on your haul.
Authenticity and Value
While shopping at outlets is often about savings, this trip enhances the experience by eliminating common pain points like parking, navigation, and carrying heavy bags. For $995 per group, the value lies in the personalized service, convenience, and access to top brands at significant discounts.
Some reviews highlight that the trip is especially suited for serious shoppers and fashion lovers. The ability to customize departure times and avoid crowded group tours makes it stand out. However, keep in mind that this isn’t a guided tour with commentary—it’s a shopping trip designed for those who know what they want and want to go straight to it.
Who Should Consider This Tour?

This experience is ideal for travelers who prioritize comfort and privacy over guided commentary. If you love shopping and want access to discounted designer brands without the stress of navigating alone, this trip delivers. It also suits those celebrating a special occasion or looking for a unique way to spend a day outside New York City.
It’s less suitable if you prefer a structured tour with cultural or historical insights, or if you’re not a big shopper. Also, remember to budget for meals and extra expenses, as these are not included.
The Sum Up
The VIP private trip to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets offers a luxurious, flexible, and stress-free shopping experience in a world-class outlet destination. From the comfort of private transportation to the freedom to browse at your own pace, it combines convenience with access to some of the most sought-after brands at significant savings.
This tour is best suited for fashion-conscious travelers, groups seeking privacy, or anyone eager to maximize their shopping with minimal fuss. The value is in the personalized service and comfort, making it a worthwhile choice for a special day out.
