Clueless about the boroughs other than what I saw in movies. Lulu made it very interesting with her own experiences. She gave us a glimpse of NY life. I didn't have a very high expectation of the tour but we actually had a great experience. Lulu is very pleasant. Two thumbs up.

Carlos loves New York and it shows! He was a very pleasant and helpful guide who went above and beyond to help every one of us, he even went by each person to give them addresses as to where to go for the things they were looking for. Very knowledgeable as well. Freddy was a great driver!
