| Our tour guide was not only an expert on history and arquitecture of the neighbourhood, he was a real brooklynite, who could enrich our walk with his personal views, interesting stories and impressions. Thus the tour turned out to be truly interesting and full of life. The guide likes his job and loves his neighbourhood. I got a very good impressions of Brooklyn and had a great time. |

| The guide is very charming, enthusiastic, and amusing. His personal perspective is what sets this tour apart. It's an enjoyable introduction to the area. However, if you have a keen interest in history or architecture, this might not be the tour for you (although the guide offers plenty of names and dates). Those seeking a fun survey won't be disappointed. |

| Our tour guide had a great knowledge of alot of the architectural design on the many homes/brownstones. He was a local of the Brooklyn area and knew the area very well. A very funny man! Would greatly recommend this walking tour! |

| The tour guide was charming- very much a real brooklynite. I enjoyed most his comparisions of park slope in his childhood and youth to today. The local history of a real life that had spanned some time in the neighborhood was the best part- to imagine the changes was fascinating. The architectural details that were pointed out were nteresting but I would have liked more hostorical context as to why those details may have been in vogue at the time- and a better understanding of who first lived in park slope and why they moved here. Maybe more statistics too about the park slope of today.
The tour guide, Rick, was very enjoyable and personable and took good care of the group during the tour. We enjoyed the tour. |

| My friends and I really enjoyed our few hours we spent with Rick walking through Park Slope. He is passionate about Brooklyn; his combination of personal stories and historical facts makes for a very interesting tour.
We were a small group, he was personal and accommodating to any of our requests. He was also funny which made the time fly by. The pizza at the end of the tour makes you feel like you have had a little taste of Brooklyn and would want to come back again on future trips.
Overall we all enjoyed our morning and would highly recomend it. |

| I was entralled with this tour from beginning to end. A history lesson on Brooklyn, and the many architectural gems in the area. Also Rick the tour guide is awesome. Since he has grown up in the area, and still resides there. He had many of a story to tell. It brought so much more to the tour. Since my return to Boston, I still can't stop talking about it. And would recommend to everybody. |

| Big Rick's tour of Brooklyn was one of the highlights of my most recent trip to New York! His tour was specifically recommended to me by friends & I would not hesitate to highly encourage anyone visiting New York City to spend a day in Brooklyn and enjoy the BEST walking tour around. Rick’s knowledge and passion for Brooklyn based on his experiences of living there his entire life are what makes this walking tour an absolute amazing time. Local history, architecture, trivia, points of interest – Rick knows it all! |

| Big Rick was a great tour guide. He gave us first hand and factual information as only a Brooklyn native could do He went out of his way to accomodate us and was a very friendly host. We would definitely recommend his tour to anyone wanting to see Brooklyn. |
