| Our tour guide had a great knowledge of alot of the architectural design on the many homes/brownstones. He was a local of the Brooklyn area and knew the area very well. A very funny man! Would greatly recommend this walking tour! |

| We enjoyed Rick's tour very much. He is a Brooklyn native and has a great perspective on his neighborhood. He is familiar with the architecture of Brooklyn and pointed out many interesting homes and buildings on the tour. We covered a lot of ground, so wear your walking shoes. Rick provides a bottle of water to begin the tour and a slice of pizza to end the day. Nice touch! |

| This was one of the most interesting and enjoyable tours of New York we have been on. We have been to Brooklyn a couple of times, but have always done tours in Manhattan. Rick does a great job. He knows the area very well, made recommendations about other places to go, and thoroughly answered all our questions. We would highly recommend this tour to others who want to see Brooklyn. |

| Rick knows lots about the neighborhood, and tales of his youth brought the tour to life. Rick is very knowledgable about the late 19th century mansions on the surrounding streets and pointed out interesting architectural details and tidbits about the people who used to live in the homes in the 1890s and thereabouts. An engaging personality, Rick made the tour fun, and for those interested in Brooklyn, yesterday and today, this is a must tour. |

| If you are considering doing a tour in Brooklyn, I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Rick, having grown up in Brooklyn, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The meeting spot for the walking tour was very easy to get to on the subway from Manhattan. The walking tour itself was enjoyable and informative. My three friends also thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Whether you are a first time visitor to New York City or have visited many times, I think you will have a good time on this tour. |

| Rick did a fantastic job of orienting us to the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. The tour focused on the local history, architecture and some interesting cultural aspects of the area. We felt like we were visiting with an old friend. Put your walking shoes on and plan for a wonderfull 3 hours. |

| I was entralled with this tour from beginning to end. A history lesson on Brooklyn, and the many architectural gems in the area. Also Rick the tour guide is awesome. Since he has grown up in the area, and still resides there. He had many of a story to tell. It brought so much more to the tour. Since my return to Boston, I still can't stop talking about it. And would recommend to everybody. |

| Rick was the highlight of our weekend. We knew virtually nothing about Brooklyn, and although there was only so much one can cover in a 3-hour walk, the commentary made it a very rich experience. Rick is a delight . He peppered the tour with personal stories of growing up and living in Brooklyn, and it made the whole experience come alive. He is interested in architecture, and he pointed out some of those highlights along the tour. I didn't expect that, but I loved being able to learn more about the fabulous architecture that we saw up close and personal. |
