| My wife & I toured with Rick mid April '09. He's a one man show - leading all tours himself. If you're looking for a 'Big Onion' large group, pre-scripted experience - this is not the place. If you are looking for good stories and the perspective of a 40 something, life long Brooklyn-er this is it ! I don't think that you will be disappointed. Thanx again Rick for your own view of this beautiful part of NY. Bravo ! |

| Rick is a great guide. He really knows the area, has taken time to research history and architecture, is able to throw in some interesting and funny stories, and has a good rapport with area residents, which allows for some nice surprises along the way. He keeps a good pace on the tour and his demeanor makes it fun and comfortable. All of this makes for an enjoyable time. Another good thing about this tour is that you can wait to see what the weather is before booking it (must book before 11:00, tour starts at 12:00). I definitely recommend the tour and hope that Rick expands to include other areas of Brooklyn. |

| Loved this tour - what a surprise - Brooklyn is gorgeous, funky, and fun ! Rick, the tour operator and guide, is incredibly knowledgeable, (seems like there's nothing he doesn't know about Brooklyn) affable, flexible, funny, and fun. We had two generations in the group and everyone had a great time. Prospect Park seemed particularly lovely in Spring., with everything in bloom. Imagine it's also gorgeous in the Autumn. Lots of good stuff to eat in Brooklyn, too, including complimentary slice of pizza pie! |

| Big Rick is a very proud member of his community. He gave us a good sense of the history of the Park Slope area. We enjoyed the tour. It would enhance tour if Rick added visit to inside of some buildings - or even a few stops at shops we passed on the avenues. Some hints on places to eat if we come back to the area would be great - might be nice to add a stop in the library as part of tour. |

| 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. |

| Everybody has heard both good and bad things about Brooklyn. This tour acknowledges the negatives and celebrates the positives. By the end of the tour, I think we all felt that Brooklyn had been "disarmed" and we'd all feel comfortable exploring more on our own. The beauty of the borough really shown through. |
