| There were only my husband and I on the tour but Rick gave us the full 3 hours and with his full attention. He is so enthusiatic about his Brooklyn and conveys the changes that have taken place over his 45 years of living there. If we could all be so enthusiastic about a special something! His extensive research is impressive and he is on the Net constantly to get more information. We recommend the tour for anyone interested in learning of the history of Brooklyn and wanting to see the fantastic brownstones in the area. Thanks, Rick. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Rick. He was very knowedgeable ( a virtual encyclopedia) of the area with little stories for each site. I would highly recommend his tour. He is witty and informative-- a great way to spend the afternoon.... |

| 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. |

| My husband and I are Northeasterners (NY & NJ), my husband was acually born in Brooklyn but neither of us had ever spent time there. When I came across Rick's tour description, the first thing I liked about it was "a slice of pizza included"!!! Everyone knows the best pizza in the world comes from Brooklyn,so what could I do but sign up?! As it turned out, while the pizza was, indeed, the tastiest I've ever had, it paled next to experiencing Rick's absolutely CRAZY amount of knowledge about the neighborhoods and their histories, the amazing architecture and the people and places that were a part of his growing up in the area...Rick is so personable and so enthusiastic about the places we went that the 3 hours could easily be doubled and still he'd have things to show and places to visit...We'll definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something different, off the beaten path, and even educational! Thanks, Rick!! |

| Our daughter recently moved to Brooklyn and we were visiting her so we thought it would be a good idea to know more about her "neighborhood" as she now lives in the Prospect Heights area. We, including her, were all very happy with the very informative and entertaining guide who has been a Brooklynite his whole life. Everything from recent to more distant history of Brooklyn, architecture information, gossip and local color were part of the tour. Also the cold water bottle provided at the beginning and the slice of real Brooklyn Italian pizza towards the end were very appreciated. We would all highly recommend it. |

| The tour was made more interesting since the tour guide not only knew his Brooklyn history, interesting facts regarding the architecture and history of the buildings on the tour, but also included interesting vignets about growing up and living in Brooklyn.
A really nice way to get to know more about Brooklyn! |

| My husband and I learned so much on this walk around Park Slope. Our tour guide Rick was fantastic; he's a great story teller and always had a joke up his sleeve, we had a great time hanging out with him for the three hour tour. He was very considerate given the 100 degree weather, keeping us in the shade when possible and places to stop in for A/C and cold water. We learned about the history, the architecture, and the transitions the neighborhood has gone through over the years. What amazed me the most was all the architectural knowledge the guide had memorized. If you would like to know all there is to know about Park Slope, this is the tour for you! The tour covered everything, from 4th Avenue to through the park, very comprehensive! |
