The Hamptons, Sag Harbor and Outlet Shopping Day Trip from New York City
New York City, United States of America
Enjoy a day away from Manhattan and journey to the ever-popular Hamptons on Long Island. You will also have the opportunity to explore Sag Harbor, a quaint 300-year-old seaside village. Your day is finished off with a shopping visit to the Tanger Outlets in Riverhead.
You will depart New York through the borough of Queens, leaving the hustle and bustle of the big city behind. You'll begin to appreciate why the rich and famous chose to make Long Island their own personal playground when the scenery transforms from tall buildings to magnificent landscaping and gorgeous flowers in the springtime.
You will continue east, passing the Long Island Duck before arriving to the famous Southhampton -- home to residents such as Jerry Seinfeld, Paris Hilton, David Letterman and Steven Spielberg. This is definitely the place to see and be seen!
You will start your tour strolling down the picturesque main street, before heading down through the historical area the harbor and along Ocean Drive, passing some of the homes of the rich and famous along the way. After you have had your fill of the rich and famous, you will continue to Sag Harbor, a picturesque and quaint town that invites its visitors to enjoy its unique atmosphere. Take your time to tour the harbor and see the yachts that are the toys of the rich, then stop at the antique stores or the old world shops for some real bargains.
After lunch (not included) you will head west towards the Tanger Outlets where you will receive mall goodies and then explore the stores - find your own bargain with brand name stores for less. In the late afternoon you will depart west for an evening arrival in New York City.
Good commentary and an enjoyable day. Good to see the Hamptons and the great houses and some monstrosities. Shopping on the way back was good. Long day but enjoyable.

Great day out, would not recommend going this far out of season as most of Sag Harbour and Southampton was closed. Tour guide had a lot of knowledge. The outlet centre was very good.

Though I'm glad I took this trip, there were pros and cons. I was happy for a refresher on some of Long Island since it had been many years since I last was there. The bus was comfortable. It was lovely weather and I enjoyed each of our stops: Southampton Beach and town, Sag Harbor where I had a very lovely lunch at The American Hotel. A bartender there provided some info about visiting Long Island that wasn't mentioned on the tour, and I really appreciated his info. The tour info focused on how difficult and very costly to visit the area, and the rich/famous people who live or summer there. The stop at the Winery for a wine-tasting was friendly and informative. A couple of hours stop at the discount mall was fine. Though I could have skipped this with all the shopping in NY, I can see where it was a really nice perk for some guests. Some improvements I'd recommend: it would be a nice, welcoming gesture to provide a small bottle of water to guests. But perhaps they don't since you can't use the bus' toilet. . . . ??? It was a turn-off that the first announcement on the bus was about this. Were I traveling with my elderly but active mother, we would have wanted to know this before booking. It's a long bus ride with no option for a toilet and I imagine this would cause some people stress. I don't think it was necessary to emphasize throughout the day that if you weren't back at departure time, the bus would not wait AT ALL and would leave without you. The guide even told us how much it would cost if we had to find a cab back. I'm a prompt person and this had me checking the time all day vs. just having a relaxing time. I understand needing to make an announcement, but I thought the lack of diplomacy set a negative tone. Some of us joked about it throughout the day: don't be late! they won't wait! It would have been nice to have some small effort to connect the people in the group since there were people from many different places. It was a nice touch that a couple of Billy Joel's songs were played as we approached NY on our return.

Really great tour, great guides,. But spent far too long at the outlet stores. Would rather have spent more time in the various towns.
Review by: Denis A, October 2017
Glad I did it, but 4 hours of the day was getting to and from the area and made it a long day. Also, it was the end of the season, so a lot of shops and restaurants had closed. That being said, the tour of the great houses, beach and wine tasting were very good. The Tanger Outlets were a highlight, but again because of the need to battle the traffic back to New York, this felt a little rushed, although I don't have too many suggestions if you want to take it all in. Crew were very knowledgable and professional.

Fun day by the sea. End of September, shops closed and no locals in sight. But fun to see the luxurious homes of the rich._br/_ And to breath some fresh air, after a long stay in NYC.
Review by: Keith W, September 2017
Second time we have done this. It poured with rain the first time but better luck this time. It is a long day but well worth it. First time the guide was excellent, but second time a bit ordinary. Luck of the draw.
Review by: Kathryn T, September 2017
Really enjoyed this tour. It was great to get out of New York for the day and see the beautiful homes in The Hamptons. Eddy did a great job as tour guide. The visit to the shopping outlets was better than I thought it would be. It is a long day in the bus, but worth it.
Review by: JJ, September 2017
Excellent tour! It is a long day but you get to see so much! The tour started at 7am and we made a coffee stop in Riverhead around 9am. We made stops at Cooper's Beach and Southampton about 30 mins at the beach and a bit longer for Southampton. We got to see quite a lot of houses along Meadow Lane and stopped for lunch in Sag Harbour - plenty of recommendations were given for where to eat and still had enough time to do some shopping. We stopped at a winery and sampled around four or five wines. Lastly we stopped at the Tanger Outlet mall in Riverhead, we were given a tote shopper bag, a map and discount vouchers and had approx two hours there. The driver was excellent throughout and the guides - Eddie and Bruno were full of information and provided plenty of humour throughout the day. We returned to New York around 8:30pm. Highly recommend that you take this tour and experience a different side of New York!
Review by: Bevo, September 2017
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Eddie and the other guides did such a great job, managing 4 different languages to the groups on the bus without a problem. They were witty and and went the extra mile, so it was a great day. The Hamptons were just as I had imagined and Southhampton and Sag Harbour were gorgeous. The wine tasting was in a beautiful winery and the outlet shopping did have great bargains. All in all a really wonderful well organised day. No shortcuts were taken and got back after 8pm. Loved it!

Boring trip! Toooo much shopping!
Review by: Hellen D, July 2017
Pleasant day out but expensive.
Review by: sueascott, June 2017
So glad I did this tour. It was highly informative and was great to see more of New York and the surround suburbs. The tour guide was fantastic and we all had a good laugh as well. Would definitely do this again. The Hamptons were great and the beach was beautiful. Sag Harbor was a place I knew nothing about but it was such a gorgeous town. The wine tasting was an added extra and then the factory outlet at the very end of the day topped it off._br/_ Not to be missed tour if you want to see more of New York!!!
Review by: nicol_maureen, May 2017
Great day trip, just to get out of the busy city. Our first stop when we left New York was the best run bakery/roadhouse, so organised, spotlessly clean and the selection of the food was great. We were unfortunate that the weather was not the best and it restricted our view of the magnificent homes on Billion Dollar Row but we got the general overview. Still managed to take some great photos though. Sag Harbor was a gem, the shops that were open were beautiful. Some of the shops close in the colder weather but we could see plenty of them in preparation to open in the warmer weather. We had lunch at a burger placeBT BURGER which I have to say were the best that we tasted all the time we were away in USA. Our tour guide Hugo was very informative and approachable, an extremely nice young guy. I like the idea that there was three guides on the bus to cater for the different languages. We found the service in some of the shops at the Outlets was extremely lacking and the quality of the goods seemed inferior to the actual shops in New York. We got some cheaper than retail goods but ended up buying in New York and got the service we needed when looking for sizes. Overall a good day out, well worthwhile

Not my cup of tea. Consider Boston day tour.
Review by: Mrs_Inma, March 2017
A little boring but enjoyable. Not much to do around town. Outlet shopping was good but not enough time there.
Review by: VICTORIA C, March 2017
Best trip we have ever done what a fantastic trip even dipped out toes in the ocean , sag harbour is beautiful
Review by: Allison H, February 2017
Absolutely fantastic day, loved it. Could have done fine without the outlet shopping stop, would have preferred more time in the Hamptons. Sag harbour just gorgeous, we had lobster down at the harbour it was delicious. So glad we did it and ignored the bad reviews.

Fantastic day.
Review by: kbertrand, January 2017
We had a really good day, tour guide was fun and bus driver was very helpful. We spent a good amount of time at the beach to get the perfect photo momento and enjoyed a lovely wander around a couple of towns including a beautiful lunch in Sag Harbor. Picked up a few bargains on our way back at the outlets to top off a very enjoyable day!
Review by: Kyra J, October 2016
Didn't really go much on the tour. There was too many stops on the way that took up a lot of time. One stop would of been plenty, then we got limited time in the Hamptons and less than one hour at the shopping which is not enough time for a Shopping Outlet. The tour guides however were fantastic and that is why I have given the tour 3 stars. They were great at suggesting places to eat and shop at.
Review by: Vania P, October 2016
I loved this bus trip. It was awesome. I am a native New Yorker, and going to see how the other half lives, was truly fun to see. The little shops on Main Street, Cooper Beach, the beautiful homes, the lobster BLT at the American Hotel restaurant, was delicious. I enjoyed this bus tour, the history, wine tasting, the shopping at the outlets, was truly an enjoyable time, had by all. We had the most perfect weather, to see the sights.
Review by: Joannis G, October 2016
Excellent tour. Very well put together with interesting places to see. Our tour guide, Bruno, was fantastic. Provided us with enough information without overwhelming us and he also gave us some very valuable tips on how to enjoy our time and our tour. He was also a lot of fun!
Review by: Carrie R, October 2016
This was a lot of fun! Personally I would have spent less time in the Hamptons and more time in Sag Harbour and at the outlets, but our guide was great and the trip was enjoyable to get out of the city and see some more of the area. The bus was comfortable and the guide had a good sense of when to give us info about the area and the city and when to let us just relax, sleep etc. It's a long day but it really does fly by.
Review by: Margaret S, October 2016
I was disappointed in this tour. The tour guides were great but the overall tour was not what I expected.
Review by: Dee, October 2016
Most wonderful tour. Fantastic guide in Beatrix. Plenty of time in each place. Only suggestion was winery visit was not necessary - would of preferred longer shopping time
Review by: Claire R, October 2016
Excellent tour with an informative and friendly guide. Full day but worth it. Shopping outlet not that great for bargains and they throw in a sneaky wine tasting too.
Review by: Gaynor A. R, September 2016
Thi tour was great! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful and the Hamptons lived up to my expectations.
Review by: Where_to_next?, September 2016
Although we were let down by the weather, storm Hermine in fact, this tour was brilliant taster of The Hamptons. Our guide Beatrix was simply wonderful. She really tried to make the most of the day despite of the weather. She even planned a quick stop at Walmart so we could gear up with waterproof ponchos and umbrellas. The Hamptons stops were lovely. Beautiful to wander around. Beatrix recommended a Pizzeria in Sag Harbor to grab a bite and although it didn't look like much from the outside, it was great and honestly one of the best pizza's I have ever eaten. From The Hamptons we took an unexpected stop at a vineyard for a short wine tasting visit. It was at no additional cost and with no obligation to buy. However, the wine was lovely and very affordable so I'd recommend grabbing a bottle if this is a normal part of the tour. From there we went to the Outlet. A day previous we had visited Woodbury Common Outlet so we were slightly over shopping at this point but it was still a great place. However, I would say Woodbury Common has more to offer and was better overall. We had about an hour and an half here so if you wanted to do some serious shopping then this isn't enough time. From the Outlet we headed back to Manhattan. As we neared the city our guide welcomed us back to New York by playing Billy Joel's ''New York State Of Mind'', a lovely touch to end a fab day.
Review by: Mary K, September 2016
We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the Hamptons. Our tour guide, Beatrix, was informative and helpful. Speaking personally, I would have liked more time in Southhampton, the beach and Sag Harbour and no shopping trip at the Outlet at the end of the day.
Review by: Moira B, September 2016
Wonderful trip, a great day
Review by: mel, August 2016
Overall it was a great tour. The only thing that I didn't think was required was the stop to have wine tasting. I would much have preferred to have more time in Sag Harbour. The Hamptons was what I wanted to see, not to taste wine .
Review by: Diane W, July 2016
Excellent trip enjoyed winery and the outlet shopping. We didn't know that the Hamptons would be all put closed for the winter a bit disappointing.

Great tour. Nice to escape the city.
Review by: betshepherd, June 2016
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, as it was very informative. The tour guide was very friendly and the bus driver drove very well and with care. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wishing to visit the Hamptons.
Review by: Helmut B, May 2016
This was a great day tour. Our guide Richard was great and very informative. We saw a large part of the Hamptons. The Tanger outlets were great with many bargains to be found. The only negative I could say about the tour was we needed more time at the outlets. Highly recommended tour.
Review by: Barbara J. J, April 2016
Totally enjoyed it - thought they did a good job showing us what they were able to do. Off season - so a lot of the shops were closed.
Review by: Melanie S, April 2016
Great tour, had an amazing time exploring the Hamptons
Review by: Thelma R, December 2015
The day trip to the Hamptons was fantastic. Our guide was super prepared with history, not only in the Hamptons, but along the way as well. She and the driver were most accomodating to my husband who had some leg problems. We never felt rushed, I loved the small group._br/_ Thelma/Howard Robinson
Review by: Trudi T, December 2015
If you don't have enough spare days don't worry about this one, a lot of large estates and that's about it
Review by: Snooz, November 2015
A very relaxing tour and great day out.
Review by: Robin F, November 2015
Very comfortable coach. Great tour guide and driver. We would highly recommend this tour. Sag harbour was wonderful and the outlet shopping stop was not as bad as we thought it might be.
Review by: Beverly C, November 2015
Very good tour!
Review by: spideysensestingling, November 2015
Long, excellent day, well worth the money, excellent guide.
Review by: Janet H, October 2015
We enjoyed the days out, very interesting. We felt the shopping was too long and that we could have seen something else of interest.
Review by: Patrice C P, September 2015
The tour was very organized, prompt and relaxing. Our bus driver ended up mostly being late for pick-ups but our tour manager did not cut any of our lost time off sight-seeing. We still got to see and enjoy the different areas in The Hamptons and even though we returned later than the indicated time, it was worth it.
Review by: Emma W, September 2015
A good taster for the Hamptons, but quite expensive for what you get. The stops are often too short, especially the lunch stop at Sag Harbour. There was just enough time to eat, but no time to explore the town. The wine tasting was an unexpected bonus albeit quite rushed. The outlet mall is so huge and spread out that 2 hours wasn't nearly enough time. The guide was good, but her laboured plea for tips at the end left me feeling rather uncomfortable and less inclined to tip as much!. Finally the organisation at the departure point at the crack of dawn was so chaotic that we nearly missed the bus despite having been there half an hour early as instructed. I enjoyed the day, but if I reflect on how much it cost in s it wasn't really worth the money.
