| I have been on many, many tours through the years and this one definitely tops the list. Tour guide is born and raised in Brooklyn, has seen with his own eyes many changes through the years, and is very well versed on the history of individual homes and historic sites. He knows personally much of what has happened in Brooklyn because he was part of it. He has personality and enthusiasm to spare and obviously cares about this area. |

A true slice of Brooklyn!

| Rick was a totally engaging, knowledgeable tour guide and my parents and I learned a lot about Park Slope and Prospect Park, without being overwhelmed. The best part of the tour is that Rick is from the neighborhood, he knows it's history first hand and he knows the people! My parents are from Germany and I've been a New Yorker for 10 years and we all had a great time. My dad hates walking and he had a blast! I would take anyone that comes to visit NY on this tour and I will recommend it to all the locals!! |

| Rick led us on a very interesting and informative tour of a small part of Brooklyn. It was obvious he loved the area and the people and wanted to share it.
This was a glimpse of what life is -and was - like for the average person in Brooklyn. A must for visitors and locals who want to get beneath the surface glitz and glamour of Manhattan.
We thoroughly enjoyed it! |

| Rick was an enthusiastic, well-informed, and entertaining guide. A native Brooklynite, he knew the dish on the area. From infamous mobsters to beautiful architectural details to historical revolutionary battles to well-known actors and musicians, Rick's got something of interest for everyone. His colorful stories made the tour!! I recommend it to locals and tourists alike!! You won't walk away disappointed. |

| A group of us went on Ric's Brooklyn Tour, A Tour Grows in Brooklyn, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Ric was knowledgeable and pleasant and full of information about what we were seeing. It was a treat to be introduced to this neighborhood by a 'home boy'! |

| I have travelled to Manhattan several times but had not had the chance to see Brooklyn prior to this trip. I happended to be the only person booked on this date, and Rick was still very enthusiastic to share his knowledge and stories about the area with me. The three hours flew by and I got to have a fantastic insight to how the area was, and continues to evolve. Highly recommended - and thanks Rick! |

Just as great as I remembered!

| Some friends and I took this tour one year ago and it was great fun. So much so, that we brought back another friend, who was born in Brooklyn. As usual, Rich was terrific; knowledgeable, helpful and passionate about his hometown. If you want something that makes three hours feel like three minutes, then this is the tour for you. Bravo Rich! Can't wait to see what else you some up with!

| 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. |
