Picture
Please join us for our annual "Black Friday" Christmas Shopping Weekend from Toronto to tax-free Pennsylvania. This is the 3-day tour. Advantages of this 3-day tour vs. our classic 2-day tour are as follows:
​
  • Duty-free shopping allowance goes up to $800 per person.
  • We will be stopping at the Duty Free store before crossing back to Canada. You are allowed to purchase and bring back alcohol & tobacco.
  • Tour has a more relaxed schedule with more shopping outlets and more time for bargain hunting.
  • A buffet lunch is included.

We want to caution you. This tour is called the "Shop, shop, shop till you drop" tour. We're not kidding! Although you will be very tired when you get back to Toronto, it will have been totally worth it. Sometimes the prices at the outlet malls in Pennsylvania are so low, they're just plain silly! And there's no sales tax in PA on clothes, children's products and many other categories!

We hope you will join us on this tour that sells out every year.
