| The tour was great. We´re a couple of Aussie friends on a 3 day trip to NY and wanted to see a bit more than Manhattan.
Tour was just the right length, with just the right balance of history and local stories to make it real without being academic. It was lovely to see the area through the eyes of a local.
Pizza slice was delish!!! Just what was needed after 2 hours walking.
Thank you! |

| Very enjoyable walking tour of the Park Slope region of Brooklyn. The tour guide, Rick, was a local and very knowledgeable in the history of the area. It was definitely the best $30 I have spent in New York in a long time. Trip is capped off by a good slice of Brooklyn pizza! |

| Since none of us had ever been to Brooklyn, we found this a wonderful way to have a "taste" of the borough. We thoroughly enjoyed the information on the architect of the buildings as well as the personal additions from Rick. The slice of pizza at the end was a fine treat as we have heard that brooklyn is known for it's top notch pizza !!! |

| We freqently visit New York, and had read that Brooklyn had a lot to offer, but had never ventured over the bridge. We greatly enjoyed all of the facts provided by Rick, the comprehensive tour, as well as his own personal recollections of growing up in Brooklyn. We definitely felt as if we were seeing the place through the eyes of someone who knows every nook and cranny and who has a deep love for Brooklyn and had a great time on the tour. In fact, the time went so fast that we could have gone on for a few more hours! Everyone in our group would enthusiastically recommend the tour to others. |

| We are from Argentina and have been many times in NY.
With this tour we learned that NY is much more than Manhattan.
We discovered a beautiful neigborhood full of history, quiet and peace.
Our guide really seemed to know every inch of the area.
We usually travel by ourselves, but we would never have got to see what we saw if we had not taken this tour.
We highly recommend it to everybody that likes to learn and discover something new on every trip. |

| It was a beautiful fall day and as it turned out my wife and I were the tour group for the day. Big Rick knows his stuff. The tour time was jam packed with information and even better, personal insight...things only a native of the area would ever know. Besides being a great story teller with a wonderful sense of humor, Rick has done his homework and shares detailed architectural, cultural, social, and general sight seeing information in an entertaining way. Park Slope is fascinating...do yourself a favor...do this tour. This is what all tours should be like. |
