| We walked by my house!
I always wanted to know what this guy was doing pointing at my house, so I signed up for the tour. I lived here for over 20 years and never noticed the gargoyles and hobbits over my doorway. Cool...
This was a lot of fun. If you are visiting NYC, this is a great way to see a neighborhood not just the touristy things. But, I will will be recommending it to my neighbors, it is a great way appreciate you own borough! I will be giving this tour as a gift.
I even blogged about it. |

| We really enjoyed the history and architecture of Brooklyn. Rick was exceptionally versed in the history, architecture and nuances of the neighborhoods. It was a crash course learning about the rich heritage of people and buildings that make up the neighborhoods of Brooklyn where we walked. I'm glad we made this part of our NYC trip. |

| I had my Graduate Interior Architecture students attend this event for their class. The feedback was very positive from my students. Rick the tour guide was very infomative on architecture details, history and Brooklyn trivia. The tour enable the students to see a variety of styles. This was very helpful for hands-on experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

| Wonderful tour - and we've been on many tours. Rick is knowledgable and fun. He has a wonderful way about him and runs his tour as though he is showing friends some of the most exciting things about his city. Join him for the day and you'll see what I mean. You'll learn, you'll have fun and you'll feel like you have in Brooklyn. |

| The tour was wonderful! Rick was very informative and enjoyable. He grew up and still lives in Brooklyn so he knew who, what, and where about Brooklyn. He knew about the history and architecture.He showed interesting architecture on the Brownstones all around Brooklyn. He knew local gossip about actors in the 1940-70's. He knew where to eat. |

| I took the Brooklyn Walking Tour when staying there last week. The guide Rick was
extremely knowledgeable about the area having lived there all his life so it was
very interesting and enjoyable as it was more personalised. The pace was relaxed with plenty of stops to look at and talk about different aspects of the area. The various types of architecture of the buildings and houses was fascinating especially when attention was drawn to points you'd never have noticed yourself. This is a
much to be recommended tour with a difference with a great guide with a great personality who really looks after his customers. Highly recommended. |
