| 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!! |

| Cannot reccomend this tour highly enough. I did this tour on a freezing February day and when I turned up I was the only person booked for this day. Speaks volumes that Rick was more than happy to go ahead with the tour with just me on it. I have been fortunate enough to visit NYC on many occasions now and was looking for an alternative tour to find out more about the real neighbourhoods away from usual tourist haunts. This was by far the most informative, personal tour that I have been on. Rick was an absolute top bloke, lost count of the amount of locals who stopped said hello and had a few words with us. The areas we walked were full of character and interesting architecture with lots of stories from Ricks childhood being thrown into the mix. Spot on tour and if you read this please book as you wont be dissapointed. |

| It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon learning about South Brooklyn,
Park Slope, Prospect Park etc. from someone who has lived in the neighbourhood all his life. It didn't really seem like 3hrs. |

| Enthusiasts always make the best leaders and teachers. Rick was born in the neighbourhood and lives there today; he is passionate and informative. Having a walk with him in the winter sunshine was a pleasure.
By chance I live in an area of Glasgow that boomed around 1880 and built sandstobne town houses and apartment blocks at the same time. I was taken by surprise to find the same pattern of house building and street scape in Brooklyn.
Doing low key tours like this is much more rewarding than the A list or glamour sites.

| I'm not one for walking but this tour has really turned me off bus tours! With only five people on the tour we didnt have to strain to hear and could ask as many questions as we liked. The tour guide was really informative especially with architecture and dates etc. Don't let the 3 hours walking put you off, you really don't realise it so much walking because the tour is interesting. Plenty of time for photographs too. Most importantly we now know how to eat a slice of pizza brooklyn style! |
