So informative and fun!

Laurie_S, Jul 2025
We had an opportunity to meet business owners & artists who shared information and their work. So fun and informative without feeling pressured to buy anything. Truly a magnificent day, learning about the area and its historical importance to Brooklyn. Dom was an amazing guide!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

It's very nice to get feedback from my guests. Thank you for taking the time for this. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again on other Made in Brooklyn Tours! Thank you!

Book this trip it’s a perfect way to discover hidden New York .

Dave_C, Oct 2024
Wow what a walking tour this turned out to be! Dom knew everything you could ever want to know about the area, pointing out historical artefacts that would otherwise go unnoticed. He was amusing, attentive, inspiring and fun. We were so very lucky to have him to ourself as no one else had booked in- and our tour lasted longer- he didn’t rush us at all. Met some very interesting characters too. Such an unusual trip, a perfect combination of history and real life in Brooklyn. Thanks Dom!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Made in Brooklyn Tours! See you on the next one!

A lovely walk through artsy quarters

vinitagc, Jul 2024
If there’s a way to see the artsy side of Brooklyn, it’s to take a walking tour with our guide Dom. He walked us through the Dumbo area, acquainting us with artisans, painters, weavers, who we would never have interacted with , up close and personal, otherwise; learning about their craft. Dom gave us an informative lowdown on the industrial past of Brooklyn and took us to the points that offered the most beautiful sightings of the Brooklyn bridge and the NYC skyline. Cherry on the cake we’re the creamy icecream and warm chocolate drink, on the house:)

Response from Host, Jul 2024

I appreciate your review especially because you write that while there is sightseeing, there's also history and visits to creative people and businesses. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour - see on the next one!

Tamara_L, Jul 2024
It was a great personalized tour. I was the only person. Dom know so much about Brooklyn, its history, have a great relationship with small bussiness which we visited. I learned a lot of facts about products that began manufacturing in Brooklyn. In the end we went to a great place for ice cream and i got a present that i will display in my office!! Thank you Dom!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Don't miss the best Brooklyn walking tour

Janice_F, Mar 2024
The Made in Brooklyn walking tour was excellent. Dom is very knowledgeable. He not only shared interesting historical facts (supplemented by photos) but also provided a unique opportunity to see the work of and meet artists, creators and small business owners making it in Brooklyn. You'll see the best that DUMBO has to offer and Dom is the right guy to lead the way.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Janice. So glad you enjoyed the tour! I look forward to seeing you the next time your in town. Thank you!

Great experience!

filipe_b, Feb 2024
My wife and I had a absolutely blast spend few hours with Dom exploring and learning a lot about Brooklyn! Thank you Dom!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

I'm blessed to be in such good company coming from right here in NYC or from far away places like Australia. Hope to see you again sometime in another one of Brooklyn's characteristic neighborhoods!

Great Tour of Dumbo

Alan_L, Dec 2023
Great way to get to know Dumbo and learn about both its history and some of the interesting artisans there now. Dom was an excellent tour guide who is passionate about Brooklyn, knowledgable about the local history and willing to personalize the tour. Worthwhile for local residents and tourists from out of town.

Brooklyn and DUMBO Brought to Life in 3 Short Hours

Andrew_G, Aug 2023
Our tour was led by Dom, who is the creator and guide for this experience. He is a lifelong New Yorker and, more specifically, Brooklynite, who has a deep knowledge of the city and how it evolved, which he demonstrated amply as we made our way around DUMBO. His ability to convey the time and place in terms of history alongside contemporary happenings in this corner of Brooklyn helped generate a similar sensation to us. Along with the samplings included, this was a well rounded experience. I would recommend his tour to pretty much everyone but, honestly - this is a shout-out to those who live in NYC. Take this tour - you have the benefit of one of your "neighbors" telling you about the city and it gives you a deeper appreciation for the vast history your city has already created in a few very short centuries. Consider it a one-day vacation at home and a way to reconnect with where you live. And you can finish it off at Juliana's Pizza... one of Dom's recommendations.

Don't Miss Out

Rachelle_M, Jul 2022
Such a great tour of the area. Dom is so knowledgeable and friendly. He takes great pride in Brooklyn and his enthusiasm for the area makes for a fascinating tour. We highly recommend booking any tour specifically with Dom.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you! Thank you! Looking forward to the next one!
