| Rick led us on a very interesting and informative tour of a small part of Brooklyn. It was obvious he loved the area and the people and wanted to share it.
This was a glimpse of what life is -and was - like for the average person in Brooklyn. A must for visitors and locals who want to get beneath the surface glitz and glamour of Manhattan.
We thoroughly enjoyed it! |

| Our guide Rick, did a fantastic job of infuesing history, fact, and folk lore of the area. He really understood the architecture of the beautiful buildings around his town. I have already, and will continue to recommend this tour, and on our next visit we look forward to any other tours he'll be doing. |

| Cannot reccomend this tour highly enough. I did this tour on a freezing February day and when I turned up I was the only person booked for this day. Speaks volumes that Rick was more than happy to go ahead with the tour with just me on it. I have been fortunate enough to visit NYC on many occasions now and was looking for an alternative tour to find out more about the real neighbourhoods away from usual tourist haunts. This was by far the most informative, personal tour that I have been on. Rick was an absolute top bloke, lost count of the amount of locals who stopped said hello and had a few words with us. The areas we walked were full of character and interesting architecture with lots of stories from Ricks childhood being thrown into the mix. Spot on tour and if you read this please book as you wont be dissapointed. |

| It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon learning about South Brooklyn,
Park Slope, Prospect Park etc. from someone who has lived in the neighbourhood all his life. It didn't really seem like 3hrs. |

| The tour guide really gave a good flavor of the neighborhood he grew up in. I got a good sense of how it was in the seventies and how it gentrified to become the nice area it is today. I received a good cultural and historical perspective of the neighborhood and the Grand Army Plaza area. Would highly recommend. |

| 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. |

| 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!
