| Brooklyn being such a big borough, it was great to be able to explore even a small part of it with a knowledgeable guide. Anyone who is interested in the local history and/or the architecture will surely love this tour. I appreciated that "Big Rick" pointed out several places I could check out on my own after the tour. For anyone considering this tour during the week-end, allow extra time to get to the meeting place, since the subway detours are getting more common these days. |

| We had a brilliant time with Rick - he truly knows his neighbourhood and brings a unique perspective to discovering Brooklyn, as well as great delivery. You feel like you see things that you would never notice by yourself, and the tour covers a great mix of history, architecture, culture and pizza! The time flew by, and we really felt we came away with an understanding of the neighbourhood. We can't wait to go back, thanks for a great time Rick! |

| I have lived in Brooklyn for over 10 years and you forget how big it really is!
"Big Rick" gave a great tour, a must if you want a detailed history of Park Slope and the surrounding areas. He pointed out things that you would certainly miss if you weren't looking. The first 5 minutes in, he got 3 shout outs by other locals so you know he is the real deal, not to mention the Brooklyn accent...
Had a great time with Rick and would recommend this tour for those who are interested in learning about his Brooklyn. |

| I have never been to Brooklyn and did not know what to expect. Rick was knowledgeable and very customer friendly. He gave us great information and was thoughtful because it was so cold. I would recommend this to others. |

| Ricky, native of Brooklyn, gives a detailed, lively narrative. The three hour tour is inclusive both of past and recent history of this NY borough. My wife and I would recommend this event to anyone who wishes to learn more about New York City. Ricky is a firecracker -- energetic and personable. Brooklyn Rules!

| I had previously booked this tour for myself and a group of visiting friends, and then this time a visiting relative who wanted a fun activity to do while spending the day on her own in NY. She is from Brooklyn originally and now lives in Ohio. She wanted to see her old neighborhood again and have the benefit of a guided tour. She was literally blown away by Big Rick and his tour, just like I knew she would be. She said that he knew everything there was to know about the neighborhood and made it a fun, memorable day for her. She wants to go back on the same tour during her next visit to New York and also asked me to send her the link to the website so that she could send her Ohio friends on the tour also! It seems like everyone who goes on this tour becomes a big fan right away. Great job again, Big Rick. I really highly recommend this tour to one and all. Definitely one of the best tours of Brooklyn and even New York in general around. |
