| We freqently visit New York, and had read that Brooklyn had a lot to offer, but had never ventured over the bridge. We greatly enjoyed all of the facts provided by Rick, the comprehensive tour, as well as his own personal recollections of growing up in Brooklyn. We definitely felt as if we were seeing the place through the eyes of someone who knows every nook and cranny and who has a deep love for Brooklyn and had a great time on the tour. In fact, the time went so fast that we could have gone on for a few more hours! Everyone in our group would enthusiastically recommend the tour to others. |

| We are from Argentina and have been many times in NY.
With this tour we learned that NY is much more than Manhattan.
We discovered a beautiful neigborhood full of history, quiet and peace.
Our guide really seemed to know every inch of the area.
We usually travel by ourselves, but we would never have got to see what we saw if we had not taken this tour.
We highly recommend it to everybody that likes to learn and discover something new on every trip. |

| We had a great time learning about and seeing Brooklyn. Our guide, Rick, was very imformative and was able to answer in detail any question that was asked. I have a new understanding of the old and new Brooklyn and greatly appreciate the time and effort Rick puts into his tour! Thanks so much! |

| Never ever realized that Brooklyn was so cultural and historical!!! This tour had the flavor of the community mixed with personal stories of the guide. Walking down the past and imagining the future if this "kid sister" across the river from NYC was a magical day... topped with a cheese pizza!!!! |

| My 24 year old daughter and I are both architecture nuts so this tour was ideal for us. Rick was so knowledgeable regarding different architectural styles and pointed out details that we'd never have noticed on our own. The 3 hour walking tour took us up and down some of the major streets in the neighborhood and we even went into Prospect park to have a look at the Long Meadow. We asked a few questions and there wasn't one that Rick couldn't answer. We were thoroughly satisfied with the tour. After we finished this tour we walked the Brooklyn Bridge over to Manhattan which was a real treat as well. We really enjoyed our day in Brooklyn. We highly recommend this tour! |

| This is an excellent tour of the Park Slope and Prospect Park areas of Brooklyn. The leader is very knowledgable about the history of the area, a bit about the architecture and has a lot of enthusiasm. The only minor hiccup is that the talks a bit much about himself and his experiences in the neighborhood. At first this provides a firsthand perspective but it wears a bit thin and he talks about himself rather than asking about those on the tour. |

| We signed up for this tour around 10:30pm the night before. Turns out we were the only ones on this tour - but even though Rick had to come out for a group of only two, he was enthusiastic. We could tell he really enjoys what he's doing. We learned a lot about the Park Slope area - and the pizza was delicious! |

Why go to Manhattan, when there's Brooklyn!

| My husband , two 20's daughters, and I went on a tour with RIck on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009; it was fantastic. He really knows the neighborhood and his tour was both informative and entertaining. My daughters want to move there, and my husband and I can't wait to go back to visit! Forget Manhattan; call Rick for a tour. |
