Tours of Brooklyn or more specifically Park Slope

Has anyone ever done the tour and what are your thoughts?

Ringrunner has done the Park Slope one and he said even though he has lived here for mucho years, he thoroughly enjoyed it. I am sure he will turn up and tell you all about it

Yes, it was great fun, Rick gives a great tour.

I never look at the streets of Park Slope the same anymore. Even my own building.

Here is my review from my blog

That looks fun! A three hour tour....


Good exercise ,too.


I wanna do it .If anyone else is interested let me know and we can all go together. :cheers:

Never done any of the walking tours, but I think Big Onion also has a Park Slope one.

The tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost....

Norman Oder, the guy behind the Atlantic Yards Report website, also does tours.

Was OP talking about the bike tour?

I met a guy selling tours at the GAP Greenmarket.
An actual licnesed tour guide no less

negative. I was talking about a walking tour not bike tour.

TIA.

Your URL has a typo: "whatyourdonotknow" instead of "whatyoudonotknow" (no "r"). What's up with that??

They're rich. They're expected to change outfits every hour of the boat trip. (BTW, if they're rich, why aren't they on their own yacht??)

I made a mistake two years ago

If I was mean, I would register the correct spelling and then try to sell it to you. It's available. Grab it.

I did it but if I transfer my blog both people who bookmarked me will be confused.

Remember, the rich are different from you and me

Oh, wait a minute, is this about Boomburg? I think maybe that is a different thread
