| Recently, a friend & I signed up for the Park Slope tour & strolled around this beautiful Brooklyn neighborhood with Big Rick. After the tour was done, we met other friends & found ourselves relaying what we'd learned on this informative tour that took place in an area that neither one of us knew much about at the start.
Hearing stories from Rick's childhood days, growing up in Brooklyn, brought a warmth to the tour that is hard to beat since most tours of other cities are given by 'hired guns' who simply memorize details while Rick actually experienced the ones that he portrayed. He pointed out many sights & architectural details - both past & present, that would surely have been missed had we done our own walking tour.
Thanks for providing this service! One Brooklyn neighborhood 'down', others to follow! |

| I'm not one for walking but this tour has really turned me off bus tours! With only five people on the tour we didnt have to strain to hear and could ask as many questions as we liked. The tour guide was really informative especially with architecture and dates etc. Don't let the 3 hours walking put you off, you really don't realise it so much walking because the tour is interesting. Plenty of time for photographs too. Most importantly we now know how to eat a slice of pizza brooklyn style! |

| Wonderful tour - and we've been on many tours. Rick is knowledgable and fun. He has a wonderful way about him and runs his tour as though he is showing friends some of the most exciting things about his city. Join him for the day and you'll see what I mean. You'll learn, you'll have fun and you'll feel like you have in Brooklyn. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
