| My daughter and I had spent time in Manhattan on various visits but hadn't yet ventured over to Brooklyn until this tour. Rick knows the borough like the back of his hand and has lots of history to share. We loved the list of famous Brooklynites that he gave us. By the end of the 3 hours, he seemed like an old friend; it was fun seeing him run into lots of HIS friends in the area, too! Feet and stomachs enjoyed the pizza stop! Walking back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge was a great end to a fun afternoon!

| Big Rick pointed out interesting landmarks, architectural features and historical perspectives of Brooklyn. Our family of five, three teen boys and two parents, all found it held our interest. We loved the pizza lunch and recommendations for water ice. Rick, we were able to enter the "Magic Johnson apartment building" former bank building and walk through the lobby. It was magnificent. Thanks for the fun tour! |

| Rick did an excellent job with details and local flair. We felt stopping for pizza at the end wasn't necessary and would have preferred more of the tour. |

| 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. |
