| I recommend this tour because you learn a lot about the aera of Brooklyn.
If you are interested by architecture just one word: GO!
Furthermore, Rick, the guide, is really nice and a real brooklynite! |

| 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. |

| 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"! |

| My wife and I were the only ones on the tour with Rick, and we were really impressed with his knowledge of the neighborhood. The amount of detail he went into, describing the history, architecture, and personality of the area was great.
We would highliy recommend this tour. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
