Bus - Cruises - Car
Our Mystery Resale Shopping Bus Tours are always a hit! We don't disclose the shops until our "Resale Queens" are on the bus.
We provide lunch, snacks, swag bags, contest, guest speakers, games, laughs, and more on a huge AC motor coach bus.
** We welcome BYOSB (Bring Your Own Shopping Bags) on our tours **
Check out our 2025-2026 Mystery Resale Shopping Bus Tour schedule below and purchase your tickets today. Grab your seats before we sell out!
