| I live in the neighborhood and brought my sister and son. Rick gives a great tour and an amazing amount of architectural history. I would recommend the tour to anyone whether you are local or out of town just visiting. |

| My wife and I had a great experience with Rick as our guide as he took us through the Brooklyn that he knew as a child, the Brooklyn in the early 1900's with an emphasis on the architecture, and the Point Slope section of Brooklyn that is today.
Bring home the 4-pack of the monthly wine specials from Red, White, and Bubbly.
We finished a beautify day by stepping back in time and eating dinner at "2 Toms" Italian restaurant that probably hasn't changed since Rick was a kid living down the street. Be prepared to take home plenty of left-overs. The steak was 3" thick.
We can't wait for more tours and we will bring our friends. An informative and fun day.

| We had a fantastic tour guide who knew everything there was to know about Brooklyn and more. He was friendly and always ready to answer any questions, and also gave a personal history as well, which made the tour feel more genuine. I would definitely recommend it to out-of-towners but also to locals who want to learn more about their surrounding neighborhoods and local history. |

| Our guide really enjoys what he does, and it is apparent. We had a great, informative walking tour with alot of additional, unexpected "perks". His knowledge and love of Brooklyn is infectious! Good job! |

| My husband and I learned so much on this walk around Park Slope. Our tour guide Rick was fantastic; he's a great story teller and always had a joke up his sleeve, we had a great time hanging out with him for the three hour tour. He was very considerate given the 100 degree weather, keeping us in the shade when possible and places to stop in for A/C and cold water. We learned about the history, the architecture, and the transitions the neighborhood has gone through over the years. What amazed me the most was all the architectural knowledge the guide had memorized. If you would like to know all there is to know about Park Slope, this is the tour for you! The tour covered everything, from 4th Avenue to through the park, very comprehensive! |

| This was a tour I had been longing for for some time and it filled all my expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable, and chose many details that were interesting to comment on. A plus was that he had lived in a "south Park Slope" neighborhood all his life. The tour was never boring! |

| 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. |

| 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.
