| This tour was exactly what we'd been looking for, only better. We enjoyed immensely not only the things we saw and were told about on the tour, but also the local color provided by our guide, based on his growing up in the area. We have already recommended this tour to several friends, and we'll keep on doing that.
Thanks again. |

| Some friends and I took this tour one year ago and it was great fun. So much so, that we brought back another friend, who was born in Brooklyn. As usual, Rich was terrific; knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about his hometown. If you want something that makes three hours feel like three minutes, then this is the tour for you. Bravo Rich! Can't wait to see what else you some up with!

| A group of us went on Ric's Brooklyn Tour, A Tour Grows in Brooklyn, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ric was knowledgeable and pleasant and full of information about what we were seeing. It was a treat to be introduced to this neighborhood by a 'home boy'! |

| Rick was an enthusiastic, well-informed, and entertaining guide. A native Brooklynite, he knew the dish on the area. From infamous mobsters to beautiful architectural details to historical revolutionary battles to well-known actors and musicians, Rick's got something of interest for everyone. His colorful stories made the tour!! I recommend it to locals and tourists alike!! You won't walk away disappointed. |

| I have been on many, many tours through the years and this one definitely tops the list. Tour guide is born and raised in Brooklyn, has seen with his own eyes many changes through the years, and is very well versed on the history of individual homes and historic sites. He knows personally much of what has happened in Brooklyn because he was part of it. He has personality and enthusiasm to spare and obviously cares about this area. |

| The tour takes you through a the neighborhood of Park Slope and the guide explains the history of the neighborhood and how much it has changed over the last century. It's hard to believe that a neighborhood full of boutiques and cafes was derelict and blighted a few decades ago. The guide stops along the way to talk to friends and passersby, which makes you feel like you're part of the neighborhood.
I recommend it to anyone interested in Brooklyn. |

| My wife & I toured with Rick mid April '09. He's a one man show - leading all tours himself. If you're looking for a 'Big Onion' large group, pre-scripted experience - this is not the place. If you are looking for good stories and the perspective of a 40 something, life long Brooklyn-er this is it ! I don't think that you will be disappointed. Thanx again Rick for your own view of this beautiful part of NY. Bravo ! |

| Loved this tour - what a surprise - Brooklyn is gorgeous, funky, and fun ! Rick, the tour operator and guide, is incredibly knowledgeable, (seems like there's nothing he doesn't know about Brooklyn) affable, flexible, funny, and fun. We had two generations in the group and everyone had a great time. Prospect Park seemed particularly lovely in Spring., with everything in bloom. Imagine it's also gorgeous in the Autumn. Lots of good stuff to eat in Brooklyn, too, including complimentary slice of pizza pie! |
