| The day started pretty rainy, but as soon as we (two girls) came to Brooklyn on the subway, it all cleared up. We'd had this trip highly recommended, so we were very excited to experience this tour in Brooklyn with a local guide. And indeed, we had full value for our money! It was all the more a personal experience as we had our great guide to ourselves. His enthusiasm in telling us the local history of Park Slope, the Williamsburg bank, Prospect Park, etc was great - a contrast to the more hectic experience of midtown and downtown Manhattan.
Good luck with creating this tour!! |

| Big Rick has a great personality. So much information, you will be pleasantly surprised if not amazed. How he remembers it all is impressive.
My husband and I are from Central Jersey, and have been around brooklyn before. It is amazing how much you miss if you don't have a guide pointing out the special little things that you have probably walked past a hundred times, but never noticed.
I look forward to Big Rick's other endeavors. We will definitely be back to take his future tours. We can't wait for the cemetry tour. Rick will undoubtedly make it as interesting, if not even more so than the walking tour of Brooklyn.
Not only was Rick happy to tell us everything we ever wanted to know about Brooklyn, but also was happy to recommend places for us to eat and drink after the tour since it was our anniversary.
Thanks again for giving us a taste of how friendly the folks really are in Brooklyn. |

| I took the 3-hour tour on a cold morning of February. Despite the crisp temperatures, time flew by and l learnt a lof about the history of this neighborhood of Brooklyn. After an architecture walk, we went for a stroll in Prospect park and came back to the shopping/dining area for lunch. The guide, Rick, was very knowledgeable and generous with stories. I shall recommend this tour to my friends and take a new tour soon. |

| After spending several days in Manhatten, this was a chance to see a different side of New York. Not only did we learn lots about Booklyn history we really enjoyed our guide - "Big Rick".
Thanks Rick for a fun time! |

| On July 11, three of us had a tour of Park Slope given by Rick. Rick is very, very knowledgeable about this area, its history, and architecture. Rick himself is charming, fun, and colorful.
This tour was exactly as promised - - even more!
We look forward to another adventure with Rick! |

| My brother and I went on this tour, because it had been recommended to us by a good friend. We had never visited Brooklyn before, but had high expectations, which were met fully. Rick met us at 10am with a bottle of water, a big smile, and great enthusiasm. He showed us around the major areas of Brooklyn and demonstrated extensive knowledge of its architecture, history, and culture. We had so much fun and think this tour was definitely the best thing we did during our stay in New York City. Rick was also very helpful with suggestions for other enjoyable activities in the area. Booking our tickets online through Zerve was very convenient. |
