Where Wanderlust Meets the Perfect Find
Shopping is storytelling. The silk sari you bought in a Jaipur haveli, the leather bag chosen in a Florence market, the Japanese ceramics wrapped carefully in tissue in Kyoto — each purchase carries a story that no online cart can replicate. ShopNSave Tours are built on this truth.
We have spent years mapping the world's finest retail landscapes: the hidden outlet villages off the Paris ring road, the family-run spice merchants three lanes deep in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, the certified jade dealers in Hong Kong's Jade Market that only locals know. This intelligence is your advantage.
Every ShopNSave package layers expert shopping guidance onto a proper holiday — so your days are never just about stores. You'll dine at local institutions, visit the sights that give a city its soul, and still have enough hours to hunt for the pieces you'll treasure for decades.
Our personal shopping concierges are not just guides — they are stylists, translators, negotiators and cultural interpreters. They know when to push, when to walk away, and when the vendor's third price is still too high. They also help you get every rupee of your VAT refund back at the airport.
The best souvenir isn't bought — it's discovered. We just know where to look.
What Makes ShopNSave Different
Every package is built around the retail calendar, seasonal sales, and local market rhythms so you shop at exactly the right time.
Personal Shopping Concierge
A dedicated local expert who knows every store, price tier, best deal and hidden gem. They negotiate, translate and carry bags — so you focus on choosing.
Tax Refund Assistance
We handle all VAT and GST refund paperwork at every destination. You can save an additional 10-25% on qualifying purchases — and we make sure you claim every penny.
Luggage Upgrade Allowance
Extra checked baggage is pre-arranged with partner airlines so you never stand at the airport counter recalculating your finds. Shop without limits.
VIP Mall & Outlet Access
Priority passes, private shopping hours before public opening, and VIP lounge access at partner malls in Dubai, Singapore, London and Tokyo.
Local Market Deep Dives
Beyond the malls — guided walks through bazaars, flea markets, artisan workshops and street vendors that tourists walk past every day without stopping.
Currency & Bargaining Masterclass
Pre-trip briefing on the best exchange methods, tipping customs and bargaining etiquette unique to each country. Never overpay again.
Gift Curation Service
Tell us who you're buying for and we'll brief the concierge before you arrive. Arrive to a curated shortlist of gift ideas for every person on your list.
Shop & Ship Home
For large or fragile purchases — furniture, carpets, ceramics — we coordinate secure international shipping straight to your door.
Culinary Shopping Trails
Food markets are the heart of every culture. We weave the best food halls, spice markets and gourmet stores into every itinerary.

ShopNSave Destinations Worldwide
Ten retail capitals where our concierges know every store, market and hidden gem
When to Shop Where
Seasonal sales, festival discounts and retail events vary by destination. We time your trip to match the best shopping calendar.
Insider Knowledge Before You Go
Hard-won wisdom from our travel experts — things the guidebooks don't always tell you.
Keep Every Receipt
VAT refund claims need original receipts. Never pocket-crumple them. Our concierge will collect and file them chronologically throughout your trip.
Use a Zero-Forex Credit Card
Cards that waive foreign transaction fees save you an additional 2-3% on every international purchase.
Know Your Measurements in Advance
Before your trip, write down your clothing measurements in EU, UK and US sizing. Saves enormous time in fitting rooms.
Bring One Empty Bag
Pack a collapsible duffel in your check-in luggage — it folds flat on arrival and holds your purchases on the way back without extra baggage fees.
Shop Malls in the Morning
The first two hours after opening have thinner crowds and more attentive staff. Afternoon and weekends are chaotic. Let your concierge plan accordingly.
Trust Your Concierge on Authenticity
Counterfeit luxury goods exist everywhere. Our concierges have verified every vendor and can spot fakes. Never buy from street hawkers without asking first.
A Price for Every Dream
From value-for-money escapes to ultra-luxury experiences — we cater to every budget without compromising on quality.
How We Plan Your Journey
From first conversation to final boarding pass — a seamless process designed around you.
Share Your Shopping Wishlist
Tell us what you want — brands, categories, budget per head — and which destinations appeal. Our concierge team will match you to the perfect ShopNSave route.
We Map Your Retail Itinerary
Store appointments, market timings, outlet schedules and sales calendars are all mapped into a day-by-day plan that maximises your time and savings.
Pre-Trip Briefing
We brief you on tax-refund process, local currency tips, store hours, bargaining etiquette and a personalised shopping guide for your destinations.
Shop, Explore & Return Richer
Your concierge handles all paperwork while you shop. At the airport, we walk you through the VAT refund desk so not a penny of your savings is left behind.
Destinations We Cover
And many more — if it exists, we can take you there.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a personal shopping concierge actually do?+
Your concierge is an expert local guide who knows every store, price tier and hidden vendor at your destination. They navigate language barriers, spot counterfeits, negotiate prices, file VAT paperwork, carry bags and flag the best daily deals.
How much can I really save with the VAT refund assistance?+
VAT rates vary from 5% in Singapore to 20% in France and Italy. On a large shopping spend, our full-service refund handling can recover significant amounts that most independent tourists never claim.
Is extra baggage really included?+
Yes — we pre-arrange an additional 10-20 kg of checked baggage with our airline partners for all ShopNSave packages. You'll never have to repack at the check-in counter.
Can I customise my shopping focus?+
Completely. Tell us your priorities — electronics, fashion, jewellery, home decor, food, cosmetics — and we'll build the itinerary around them.
Does sightseeing happen or is it only shopping?+
Both, always. We build proper sightseeing into every itinerary — iconic landmarks, local food experiences, cultural visits. The best shopping trips also have the best memories beyond the stores.
What Our Travellers Say
Real experiences from real people. 4.8/5 from 570+ verified ratings.
“I've shopped in Dubai before but never like this. Our concierge walked us through the Gold Souk like a local, saved us nearly Rs 18,000 on a single purchase in 20 minutes, and filed our VAT returns without us lifting a finger.”
“The Orchard Road styling session in Singapore was something I'd never have found on my own. Our guide had a private appointment lined up at a boutique that isn't even listed online.”
“Bangkok's Chatuchak Market is overwhelming alone. With our ShopNSave guide, we navigated it like veterans in three hours and found things that made every friend back home jealous.”
