| Rick was a totally engaging, knowledgeable tour guide and my parents and I learned a lot about Park Slope and Prospect Park, without being overwhelmed. The best part of the tour is that Rick is from the neighborhood, he knows it's history first hand and he knows the people! My parents are from Germany and I've been a New Yorker for 10 years and we all had a great time. My dad hates walking and he had a blast! I would take anyone that comes to visit NY on this tour and I will recommend it to all the locals!! |

| My husband and I appreciated this wonderful opportunity to experience the architecture and historic sites of this fabulous Brooklyn neighborhood, guided by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic native son. Our guide was a storehouse of Brooklyn lore, and the tour covers quite a range of picturesque streets, including the fabulous brownstones, Prospect Park, churches, and Brooklyn's charming Fifth Avenue with its alluring shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the pizza break, and look forward to coming back to spend more time here. The guide couldn't be more friendly, he even gave as a ride to the Brooklyn Museum of Art at the end of the tour. Thanks for a great introduction to Brooklyn. |

| Excellent tour guide, great tour, informative, safe, great exercise. Brooklyn is a borough that should be explored as much as Manhatten,. Queens not so much.
The guide was friendly and had lots of tidbits of info that contributed to an interesting 3 hours. |

| Our guide Rick, did a fantastic job of infuesing history, fact, and folk lore of the area. He really understood the architecture of the beautiful buildings around his town. I have already, and will continue to recommend this tour, and on our next visit we look forward to any other tours he'll be doing. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed this tour! So fun to get to know this part of Brooklyn with Ric, who has been part of the community all his life. He gave us (myself and 2 of my adult children, who live in Brooklyn) the opportunity to see it through the eyes of someone who has lived it. Anecdotes of growing up in the neighborhood enhance the tour tremendously and his thirst for and research of tidbits of information give him an amazing knowledge of the high points of the area. It was fun and I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in getting "off the beaten track" from the usual highly touristed areas of NYC. |

| We did the tour the day after Thanksgiving and it was freezing but it was a blast. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to know something about everything we saw. He said he grew up in Brooklyn so he really interested us with his memories from his childhood.
Highly recommend this tour. It is very affordable and all had a great time.
By the way, the pizza we had on the tour was the BEST I'd ever eaten. Honest to goodness! It was delicious.
We had our children with us, one of which is a 6 year old who doesn't hesitate to ask to be carried and even he worked the entire tour. He loved all the fallen leaves on the ground so I guess this tour had something for everyone. |

| My guide, Rick, knew everything there is to know about Brooklyn. He was patient while I took numerous photos, and gave me wonderful insight into what we were seeing. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the "real Brooklyn" from a true native who loves his town. |

| Rick grew up and still lives in the neighbourhood so he was able to explain how everything changed over the years which was very interesting. He knew a lot of the buildings, the ages and details behind and he knows everyone in the neighbourhood. We were even able to walk into one of the great brownstones as it is owned by his friend.
All over the tour is great, very intersting and Rick is a great guide!! We loved it!! |
