| Rick was the best guide! He knew the neighborhood well, because he has lived there his whole life. He also appears to have heavily researched the history behind many of the homes in the community, down to the arcitecture. He was very personable, and it was obvious that he cares about his home town. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to learn more about Brooklyn and its history. |

| Rick provides a unique opportunity to take a tour led by someone who not only has a lot of "book" knowledge of the area, but also brings a lot of personal knowledge, as he was born and raised right in the neighborhood. The personal stories that Rick adds to the tour gives an unexpected exclamation point to an already great tour. Rick loves what he does, and that makes for a most enjoyable tour. Anyone who enjoys walking tours through neighborhoods and learning about history, architecture, and sociology will certainly enjoy this tour. Thanks, Rick! I had a great time! |

| We had a wonderful time on the Walking Tour of Brooklyn. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject matter. There is much more history in Brooklyn than I ever realized, even though I am a native New Yorker! I would heartily recommend this fascinating slice of Brooklyn. |

| Even though we were 15 minutes late, Rick waited for us in the pouring rain. He didn't try to rush us and, in fact, gave us an extra half hour (maybe because we ducked in for cover in a few buildings along the way). He was a great guide, very warm and with an obvious love for his city! |

| I really enjoyed Rick's tour. I already had extensive knowledge of Manhattan and knew very little about Brooklyn. Rick has lived in Brooklyn his whole life and did a great job explaining how the city has evolved. He explains how the city was first settled to the current neighborhoods of today. |

| 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 guided my friend and me throught the most interesting part in Park Slope.
His knowledge and good humor made this tour special. I would highly recommend it. I hope he will do more tours like this in Brooklyn.
I found it especially nice to finish off at a Pizza Place, gave us a chance to talk.
Well done.
