| My brother and I went on this tour, because it had been recommended to us by a good friend. We had never visited Brooklyn before, but had high expectations, which were met fully. Rick met us at 10am with a bottle of water, a big smile, and great enthusiasm. He showed us around the major areas of Brooklyn and demonstrated extensive knowledge of its architecture, history, and culture. We had so much fun and think this tour was definitely the best thing we did during our stay in New York City. Rick was also very helpful with suggestions for other enjoyable activities in the area. Booking our tickets online through Zerve was very convenient. |

| I joined the Brooklyn tour with "Big Rick". He knows "his" area ver well and I enjoyed it so much walking and talking with him. Besides his great knowledge and the lively explainations, he is a very nice and caring person. |

| Very enjoyable walking tour of the Park Slope region of Brooklyn. The tour guide, Rick, was a local and very knowledgeable in the history of the area. It was definitely the best $30 I have spent in New York in a long time. Trip is capped off by a good slice of Brooklyn pizza! |

Great overview of a piece of Brooklyn

| Rick was very knowledgeable about the area yet what really distinguished this from other walking tours I've done was the genuine love for the neighborhood and it's history. Hearing about the how neighborhoods in and around the slope had changed through the years (for good and bad), as well as hearing trivia about Rick's family and friends and their place in the neighborhood, made for a very rich experience. |

| Recommended for those who don't want an ordinary Gray Line or Double Decker tour in Manhattan. The tour guide is a really great guy. You indeed walk and walk and walk on this tour but don't have to bring your own water bottle. Find out why for yourself. |

| Kevin is a character who knows a tremendous amount about Brooklyn and Park Slope. In particular he has detailed knowledge of architectural features of this great neighborhood and that was what I was most interested in. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn and check out more about Brooklyn. |

| I'm a long-time NYC resident (residing in Brooklyn for many years) and found plenty of stuff on Rick's tour that was new and exciting. I think this is a great way to spend a few hours, whether you're a local or here visiting for the first time.
If my observations are an accurate gauge, I'd imagine that the majority of tourists spend litte, if any, time in the outer bouroughs. Too bad because they're missing out on an an integral part of what makes NY the world class city that it is.
This tour gets you out of Manhattan, away from the most obvious tourist traps, and provides an opportunity to explore a wonderful Brooklyn neighborhood. |

| Rick, a native of Brooklyn, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the buildings and neighborhood. Even though I live in the New York area, I am not a native of Brooklyn; but I felt like I lived there after my tour. I never knew there was such rich history in Brooklyn.
I highly recommend this tour even if you already live in Brooklyn! |
