| We really enjoyed the history and architecture of Brooklyn. Rick was exceptionally versed in the history, architecture and nuances of the neighborhoods. It was a crash course learning about the rich heritage of people and buildings that make up the neighborhoods of Brooklyn where we walked. I'm glad we made this part of our NYC trip. |

| 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!

| 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. |

| We booked Big Rick's tour because of the amazing on-line reviews, and we weren't disappointed. He knows this part of Brooklyn, top to bottom ("My family's lived in this neighborhood for 100 years."). He has a story for every intersection and brownstone ("Al Capone got his start right here."). And you get some of the best pizza around ("We have to get there before the kids get out of school.") Go for it! You won't be disappointed either. |

| It was an overcast day; but, Rick certainly brightened our experience! He knows the neighborhood in which he grew up, and his stories were really good. We took the morning tour of Park Slope including Prospect Park; stopped for pizza in Brooklyn; then, on our own, we headed to Coney Island for a hot dog at Nathan's. Rick even told us how to order the Nathan's french fries in a bag with salt. If you like to walk in the upscale Park Slope neighborhood, don't miss Rick's tour! He knows the place. |
