We very much enjoyed our tour with Rick ! He is a native
of Brooklyn so he is very well versed and just a lot of fun to be with. It is a fun thing to do on your next trip to NYC. |

We booked Big Rick's tour because of the amazing on-line reviews, and we weren't disappointed. He knows this part of Brooklyn, top to bottom ("My family's lived in this neighborhood for 100 years."). He has a story for every intersection and brownstone ("Al Capone got his start right here."). And you get some of the best pizza around ("We have to get there before the kids get out of school.") Go for it! You won't be disappointed either. |

It was an overcast day; but, Rick certainly brightened our experience! He knows the neighborhood in which he grew up, and his stories were really good. We took the morning tour of Park Slope including Prospect Park; stopped for pizza in Brooklyn; then, on our own, we headed to Coney Island for a hot dog at Nathan's. Rick even told us how to order the Nathan's french fries in a bag with salt. If you like to walk in the upscale Park Slope neighborhood, don't miss Rick's tour! He knows the place. |

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 tour was a lot of fun. The guide is a real local character and very knowledgable about the architecture and history of the neighborhood. The slice of pizza at the end was a great way to finish the tour. |

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. |
