| Rick was very knowledgeable about the area yet what really distinguished this from other walking tours I've done was the genuine love for the neighborhood and it's history. Hearing about the how neighborhoods in and around the slope had changed through the years (for good and bad), as well as hearing trivia about Rick's family and friends and their place in the neighborhood, made for a very rich experience. |

| Recommended for those who don't want an ordinary Gray Line or Double Decker tour in Manhattan. The tour guide is a really great guy. You indeed walk and walk and walk on this tour but don't have to bring your own water bottle. Find out why for yourself. |

| Rick grew up and still lives in the neighbourhood so he was able to explain how everything changed over the years which was very interesting. He knew a lot of the buildings, the ages and details behind and he knows everyone in the neighbourhood. We were even able to walk into one of the great brownstones as it is owned by his friend.
All over the tour is great, very intersting and Rick is a great guide!! We loved it!! |

| Kevin is a character who knows a tremendous amount about Brooklyn and Park Slope. In particular he has detailed knowledge of architectural features of this great neighborhood and that was what I was most interested in. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn and check out more about Brooklyn. |

| I'm a long-time NYC resident (residing in Brooklyn for many years) and found plenty of stuff on Rick's tour that was new and exciting. I think this is a great way to spend a few hours, whether you're a local or here visiting for the first time.
If my observations are an accurate gauge, I'd imagine that the majority of tourists spend litte, if any, time in the outer bouroughs. Too bad because they're missing out on an an integral part of what makes NY the world class city that it is.
This tour gets you out of Manhattan, away from the most obvious tourist traps, and provides an opportunity to explore a wonderful Brooklyn neighborhood. |

| 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! |
