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.

overall enjoyable

The tour guide was charming- very much a real brooklynite. I enjoyed most his comparisions of park slope in his childhood and youth to today. The local history of a real life that had spanned some time in the neighborhood was the best part- to imagine the changes was fascinating. The architectural details that were pointed out were nteresting but I would have liked more hostorical context as to why those details may have been in vogue at the time- and a better understanding of who first lived in park slope and why they moved here. Maybe more statistics too about the park slope of today. The tour guide, Rick, was very enjoyable and personable and took good care of the group during the tour. We enjoyed 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.

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.

Rick was a fantastic tour guide with personal and historical knowledge of the neighborhood. He knows everyone in the neighborhood, is full of anecdotal stories, and has his facts about history and architecture down cold! I have a new appreciation of Brooklyn. I highly recommend his tour.

We loved seeing Brooklyn through Rick's stories

My friends and I really enjoyed our few hours we spent with Rick walking through Park Slope. He is passionate about Brooklyn; his combination of personal stories and historical facts makes for a very interesting tour. We were a small group, he was personal and accommodating to any of our requests. He was also funny which made the time fly by. The pizza at the end of the tour makes you feel like you have had a little taste of Brooklyn and would want to come back again on future trips. Overall we all enjoyed our morning and would highly recomend it.

Fun tour of Park Slope

my daughter and I met Rick right at 1:15 and had a great time with him on the tour. Even though it was about 90 degrees, we laughed a lot and saw some beautiful homes. Rick was very informative and it is obvious he loves his town. He is definitely the real deal.

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.
