Wonderful day exploring Coney Island

Shermann_S, Jul 2025

Dom was the perfect guide for our Coney Island adventure! Funny, charming, and incredibly knowledgeable, he brought the history and culture of the area to life in a way that was both entertaining and deeply personal. His own connection to Coney Island added a unique and heartfelt layer to the tour that you just can’t get from a guidebook. From iconic boardwalk stories to hidden local gems, Dom made every moment feel vibrant and authentic. The ride we shared at the end made the tour even more memorable! We had such a great time, we’re already looking for other Brooklyn tours led by Dom—he’s a an amazing guide. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

A birthday tour for friends!w

This is my third tour with Dom. Since I have given tours myself, I am pretty critical. That being said, Dom is a pros pro. He is knowledgeable and passionate about all his subject matter. But, if he gets overexcited, and you cannot absorb it all, then just tell him, and he will tailor his tour to you. I highly recommend recommend taking this tour with Dom!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

It's true. I get all excited and I just can't hide it! So happy to have guests who appreciate Made in Brooklyn Tours. See you on another one in the near future I hope.
