| The tour was wonderful! Rick was very informative and enjoyable. He grew up and still lives in Brooklyn so he knew who, what, and where about Brooklyn. He knew about the history and architecture.He showed interesting architecture on the Brownstones all around Brooklyn. He knew local gossip about actors in the 1940-70's. He knew where to eat. |

| I took the Brooklyn Walking Tour when staying there last week. The guide Rick was
extremely knowledgeable about the area having lived there all his life so it was
very interesting and enjoyable as it was more personalised. The pace was relaxed with plenty of stops to look at and talk about different aspects of the area. The various types of architecture of the buildings and houses was fascinating especially when attention was drawn to points you'd never have noticed yourself. This is a
much to be recommended tour with a difference with a great guide with a great personality who really looks after his customers. Highly recommended. |

| This was a fabulous walking tour from start to finish. It was a picture perfect day - Prospect Park, the architecture, the flavor of the area all brought to life. The pace was just right and Rick, our guide and lifelong Park Slope resident was colorful, knowledgeable and authentic ("My grandmother and I had the same grade school teacher"). The complimentary water at the start, the delicious local pizza at the finish and everything in between left our group all agreeing that this was a fun and interesting way to spend an afternoon. We left with a new appreciation of the history and beauty of Park Slope. Thanks, "Big Rick"! |

| We enjoyed Rick's tour very much. He is a Brooklyn native and has a great perspective on his neighborhood. He is familiar with the architecture of Brooklyn and pointed out many interesting homes and buildings on the tour. We covered a lot of ground, so wear your walking shoes. Rick provides a bottle of water to begin the tour and a slice of pizza to end the day. Nice touch! |

| Rick was a fantastic tour guide with personal and historical knowledge of the neighborhood. He knows everyone in the neighborhood, is full of anecdotal stories, and has his facts about history and architecture down cold! I have a new appreciation of Brooklyn. I highly recommend his tour. |
