| 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. |

| Rick provided a wonderful and very personal introduction to Brooklyn. He provided local color, history and architecture of the various neighborhoods. I would recommend this tour to my family and friends. |

| my daughter and I met Rick right at 1:15 and had a great time with him on the tour. Even though it was about 90 degrees, we laughed a lot and saw some beautiful homes. Rick was very informative and it is obvious he loves his town. He is definitely the real deal. |

| Rick was a knowledgable tour guide who kept us laughing throughout the tour. Although the tour is 3 hours long, it never felt too long nor too rushed; Rick was always willing to answer any question we had. My parents were in from out of town and it was a good way to begin their stay and also gave me and my wife information about the neighborhood we have lived in for a couple of years that we would probably never have known. |

| I'm a long-time NYC resident (residing in Brooklyn for many years) and found plenty of stuff on Rick's tour that was new and exciting. I think this is a great way to spend a few hours, whether you're a local or here visiting for the first time.
If my observations are an accurate gauge, I'd imagine that the majority of tourists spend litte, if any, time in the outer bouroughs. Too bad because they're missing out on an an integral part of what makes NY the world class city that it is.
This tour gets you out of Manhattan, away from the most obvious tourist traps, and provides an opportunity to explore a wonderful Brooklyn neighborhood. |
