| 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. |

| This was a fabulous walking tour from start to finish. It was a picture perfect day - Prospect Park, the architecture, the flavor of the area all brought to life. The pace was just right and Rick, our guide and lifelong Park Slope resident was colorful, knowledgeable and authentic ("My grandmother and I had the same grade school teacher"). The complimentary water at the start, the delicious local pizza at the finish and everything in between left our group all agreeing that this was a fun and interesting way to spend an afternoon. We left with a new appreciation of the history and beauty of Park Slope. Thanks, "Big Rick"! |

| I really enjoyed the knowledge that our tour guide had about the neighborhood. I have lived in the Park Slope area for over a year and he was able to point out so many things that I have always wondered about and other things that I never noticed before. It definitely gave me a new appreciation for my neighborhood. I would recommend this tour for any one. |

If you are interested by architecture just one word: GO!
Furthermore, Rick, the guide, is really nice and a real brooklynite! |

| Big Rick was a real character - born and raised in Brooklyn as though he stepped right out of a movie set - his Italian hospitality and genuine love of this Borough made the tour fun and resourceful, and was an interactive and exciting way to learn historical facts and tidbits.
I recommend that you state more explicitly on the website that the tour will be covering ONLY park slope and prospect park. This is not clear. |

| For some three hours in late September, Rick Kadlub provided us with a time machine - a vivid, unforgettable walk through Park Slope that was a journey through the ages. Rick's fabulous commentary took us back into history with political, architectural, artistic, literary and other insights that brought these areas to life. Most insightful and poignant were his personal recollections -- of Aunt Tootsie and Uncle Joe, his grandmother, the nun who taught his grandmother and him, and others in a cast of characters that brought Brooklyn, past and present, vividly to life. It was a mini-vacation, basically for the cost of a meal, accessible with a MetroCard! We look forward to exploring Brooklyn's other areas with Rick. |
