The real Brooklyn
Tue, Nov 10  12:00 PM jbohannan Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was great. We´re a couple of Aussie friends on a 3 day trip to NY and wanted to see a bit more than Manhattan. Tour was just the right length, with just the right balance of history and local stories to make it real without being academic. It was lovely to see the area through the eyes of a local. Pizza slice was delish!!! Just what was needed after 2 hours walking. Thank you!

Brooklyn at its best
Tue, Nov 10  12:00 PM leesde Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Very enjoyable walking tour of the Park Slope region of Brooklyn. The tour guide, Rick, was a local and very knowledgeable in the history of the area. It was definitely the best $30 I have spent in New York in a long time. Trip is capped off by a good slice of Brooklyn pizza!

Tour of Brooklyn
Fri, Nov 6  12:00 PM KMCDOUGALL4 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Since none of us had ever been to Brooklyn, we found this a wonderful way to have a "taste" of the borough. We thoroughly enjoyed the information on the architect of the buildings as well as the personal additions from Rick. The slice of pizza at the end was a fine treat as we have heard that brooklyn is known for it's top notch pizza !!!

Excellent and fun by a knowledgeable guide
Thu, Oct 29  12:00 PM kbrody1960 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

DO NOT MISS THE BROOKLYN GUIDED WALKING TOUR
Wed, Oct 21  12:00 PM Martinhoraci Female 60-69 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Insight from a Brooklyn insider. Nothing better!
Tue, Oct 20  12:00 PM Clarkkcarlso Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
It was a beautiful fall day and as it turned out my wife and I were the tour group for the day. Big Rick knows his stuff. The tour time was jam packed with information and even better, personal insight...things only a native of the area would ever know. Besides being a great story teller with a wonderful sense of humor, Rick has done his homework and shares detailed architectural, cultural, social, and general sight seeing information in an entertaining way. Park Slope is fascinating...do yourself a favor...do this tour. This is what all tours should be like.

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!

Excellent tour guide, great tour, informative, safe, great exercise. Brooklyn is a borough that should be explored as much as Manhatten,. Queens not so much. The guide was friendly and had lots of tidbits of info that contributed to an interesting 3 hours.

WOW..what a city to explore!!
Sat, Oct 3  12:00 PM denisehench Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!!!!

We're architecture nuts!
Tue, Sep 29  12:00 PM Maurred Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
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!
