| My wife and I had a great experience with Rick as our guide as he took us through the Brooklyn that he knew as a child, the Brooklyn in the early 1900's with an emphasis on the architecture, and the Point Slope section of Brooklyn that is today. Bring home the 4-pack of the monthly wine specials from Red, White, and Bubbly. We finished a beautify day by stepping back in time and eating dinner at "2 Toms" Italian restaurant that probably hasn't changed since Rick was a kid living down the street. Be prepared to take home plenty of left-overs. The steak was 3" thick. We can't wait for more tours and we will bring our friends. An informative and fun day. Karen and Mike, Manasquan, NJ | ||||||

| Big Rick's tour of Brooklyn was one of the highlights of my most recent trip to New York! His tour was specifically recommended to me by friends & I would not hesitate to highly encourage anyone visiting New York City to spend a day in Brooklyn and enjoy the BEST walking tour around. Rick’s knowledge and passion for Brooklyn based on his experiences of living there his entire life are what makes this walking tour an absolute amazing time. Local history, architecture, trivia, points of interest – Rick knows it all! | ||||||

| We had a fantastic tour guide who knew everything there was to know about Brooklyn and more. He was friendly and always ready to answer any questions, and also gave a personal history as well, which made the tour feel more genuine. I would definitely recommend it to out-of-towners but also to locals who want to learn more about their surrounding neighborhoods and local history. | ||||||

| The tour exceeded our expectations. Rick was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his neighbourhood. I would heartily recommend this tour and hope that visitors manage to make the effort to leave Manhattan for a few hours to appreciate this great area. | ||||||

| We were hoping to get a sense of the history, architecture and general flavor of South Brooklyn but what we got was so much more. Rick is a native of these neighborhoods and while he is a master of the facts of Park Slope and environs, it is his stories of the day-to-day life over many decades that he, his friends, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents actually experienced that really bring the place alive. And the pizza was great. | ||||||

| Our tour guide Rick (also company owner) was informative, energetic, and enthusiastic about presenting the best of his city to us. Rick is a proud native who loves his city. As visitors, Rick welcomed us and was eager to instruct our group so we could better appreciate the history of his Brooklyn community. He is versed in the historical minutae regarding both local neighborhoods as well as landmark structures. If querried, Rick is willing to share from his vast plethora of insider tips/hints for a successful visit (eg: When I expressed my disappointment at not being able to purchase Yankees tickets prior to our trip departure in Chicago, he recommended we check for tickets the day of the game as a small amount of tickets are held back and released at face value at that time! Kudos, Rick! We were able to purchase two tickets for the game at prices significantly less than Cubbie tickets!). My husband and I savored the authentic pizza lunch which was included mid-way through our walking tour. This was the real deal, not some cookie cutter place like those scattered along every suburban strip across our country. The bottled water (also included with the tour ) was a thoughtful, classy touch. This is a great way to spend an afternoon or morning, but do wear comfortable walking shoes and clothing as this is a brisk walk covering quite a distance. Keep purses/backpacks to a minimum. Photo enthusiasts should bring an extra set of batteries for the digital camera. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is also a worthwhile activity for visitors; however, I suggest a taxi and/or subway ride to the base of the Bridge from the spot where the tour concludes. Visitors will want to save their beans for the actual walk across the Bridge! There are numerous entreprenurial types offering ice cold water for a buck as you cross the Bridge. This is a fabulous way to cap off the walking tour. Also, the TKS booth near the Brooklyn Bridge closes for a couple of hours in the middle of the day for lunch. Better to purchase Theater tickets at the actual theater box office than to find out there is a 2+ hour time period mid-stream in the day where they close up shop. After Rick's Brooklyn Walking Tour, spend the time walking across the Brooklyn Bridge instead! We highly recommend the Walking Tour. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| We did not know what to expect of this private tour, but it was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to know Brooklyn more intimately. Rick our guide brought his past, the history, the architecture, the food, tthe stories and the future of Brooklyn to us in only a way that he could do. His is the Brooklyn personal touch- and his knowledge was actullly unbelieveable. I want to thank him for one of our best tours ever- and we have done many of them throughout the years in NYC. | ||||||

| We were a family of 5 (including 3 daughters of age 19-24) from Denmark visiting New York for the first time. We were told that Brooklyn tours was worth the effort and the money spent, and it certainly was. Our tour guide Rick showed us around his home environment, and we saw many areas of Brooklyn that we would never have discovered ourselves. It was amazing to listen to wealths of details concerning the history of the neighborhoods, their inhabitants (some of them famous) and the architecture of houses, churches, parks etc. Everything told in an entertaining tone, including answers to all the questions we had. Close to the end of the tour we were fed with large slices of pizza, and we were offered water bottles already when starting our tour on this very hot day. Highly recommended! | ||||||
