Good tour!
Fri, Sep 25  12:00 PM roxann14 Female 50-59 Unspecified Unspecified
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.

Fun tour of Park Slope
Thu, Sep 4, 08   1:30 PM jtb328 Female 50-59 Unspecified Family With Children
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.

Fun- and Fact-filled Tour

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.

Tour guide was GREAT! You really got a sense of what it was like to grow up and live in this neighborhood for the past 50 years, as well as how it has changed.

Great tour- wonderful borough to explore
Fri, Aug 21  10:00 AM johnmale Male 30-39 Local Individual
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.

Very nice architectural & cultural experience
Mon, Aug 17  10:00 AM DayTrips Female 40-49 Local Individual
Rick, a native of Brooklyn, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the buildings and neighborhood. Even though I live in the New York area, I am not a native of Brooklyn; but I felt like I lived there after my tour. I never knew there was such rich history in Brooklyn. I highly recommend this tour even if you already live in Brooklyn!

Excellent Tour with an Excellent Guide
Sun, Jun 7  10:30 AM Bunny92 Female 30-39 Local Other
The day we took the tour was gorgeous. We lucked out and were the only two people on the tour so it was super personal, fun, informative and we would go again in a heartbeat. Rick was friendly and knowledgeable about the neighborhood, the architecture was amazing, the pizza was great. What a fun way to spend the afternoon exploring the neighborhood in which we live.

the tour was awesome! it felt authentic and much more like you were on a walk thru a neighborhood vs. a tour because Rick is a local.
