| Big Rick pointed out interesting landmarks, architectural features and historical perspectives of Brooklyn. Our family of five, three teen boys and two parents, all found it held our interest. We loved the pizza lunch and recommendations for water ice. Rick, we were able to enter the "Magic Johnson apartment building" former bank building and walk through the lobby. It was magnificent. Thanks for the fun tour! |

| Focuses on the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. Rick, the tour guide, grew up and lives in the neighborhood. In addition to the usual history and architectural highlights, he fills in with stories of growing up and describes how the neighborhood has changed over time. Most walking tours seem to run about $10 per hour, so at $30 for 3 hours with water and pizza thrown in, this is a good value for anyone who wants to see some of NYC outside Manhattan. |

| It was nice having a true local guiding us around. He knew tons of information about Park Slope from the architecture to the types of neighborhoods to dirty secrets/legends about particular places. I plan on going again when my parents come to town! |

| This tour provides more than just the dates, facts, etc. It also provides real memories of the neighborhood, and a more personal overview of how Brooklyn has changed during the previous decades. Finally...a tour with a personality. |

| We had a great time seeing Brooklyn. Never realized there was so much history and beauty there. While many stereotypes were challenged, we also felt like our guide was out of a movie--a real Brooklynite! It was a great way for us to spend a few hours on a beautiful day and see a different side of NYC. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Big Rick's walking tour through neighborhoods that were filled with wonderful architecture. Rick identified Romansque, Queen Ann and Victorian detail along with specialities like Eggs and Dart designs and original Tiffany stained windows.
We also enjoyed listening to Rick's boyhood stories describing how it was in his younger days in Brooklyn .
This tour was definitely worthwhile and extremely enjoyable to all in the group. |

| This was the best activity I have ever participated in while visiting NYC. Rick was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, interesting and fun. I never visited Brooklyn before our walking tour...we fell in love with Park Slope and plan to visit again in the future. I highly recommend this tour. Be brave and venture beyond Manhattan into Brooklyn and TAKE THIS TOUR. You will not be disappointed. |

| 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. |
