| Just wanted to drop a line that I took one of your "A tree grows in
Brooklyn" walking tours on 1 Jul and it was great. Our service provider, Rick, was
exceptionally knowledgeable and made the tour so very interesting and
educational. I felt that I was getting a genuine tour from a genuine
"local" and felt that my money and time was well spent. Rick even changed the schedule a bit to meet our unique requirements.
I would highly recommend this trip and this trip and Rick to others who are interested in learning about the real Brooklyn.

| We had a great time seeing Brooklyn. Never realized there was so much history and beauty there. While many stereotypes were challenged, we also felt like our guide was out of a movie--a real Brooklynite! It was a great way for us to spend a few hours on a beautiful day and see a different side of NYC. |

| The day we took the tour was gorgeous. We lucked out and were the only two people on the tour so it was super personal, fun, informative and we would go again in a heartbeat. Rick was friendly and knowledgeable about the neighborhood, the architecture was amazing, the pizza was great. What a fun way to spend the afternoon exploring the neighborhood in which we live. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Big Rick's walking tour through neighborhoods that were filled with wonderful architecture. Rick identified Romansque, Queen Ann and Victorian detail along with specialities like Eggs and Dart designs and original Tiffany stained windows.
We also enjoyed listening to Rick's boyhood stories describing how it was in his younger days in Brooklyn .
This tour was definitely worthwhile and extremely enjoyable to all in the group. |

| This was the best activity I have ever participated in while visiting NYC. Rick was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, interesting and fun. I never visited Brooklyn before our walking tour...we fell in love with Park Slope and plan to visit again in the future. I highly recommend this tour. Be brave and venture beyond Manhattan into Brooklyn and TAKE THIS TOUR. You will not be disappointed. |

| the tour was awesome! it felt authentic and much more like you were on a walk thru a neighborhood vs. a tour because Rick is a local. |
