Perfect tour - The tour was held on a cold and rainy day, but it was still perfect. Tour guide Jim was witty and knowledgeable, continuously reciting facts about the different boroughs. The diversity of each borough was impressive. And the bus driver was amazing---I don't know how he could maneuver that large of a vehicle, but he was flawless. I would strongly suggest this tour if you want "something a little different".
