It was a humanly and culturally enriching experience and our guide was open, easy-going and very efficient.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. I would recommend if you are going to Brooklyn to take this tour.

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.

Dom took my wife and I on a great personalised tour of the Dumbo District in Brooklyn last week. He not only provided us with insight into the history of Dumbo, from its early warehousing to its Arbuckles coffee-making roots to Brooklyn being the home of Brillo pads, international pharmaceuticals firms, et al. He also took the time to introduce us to a number of the artisans in the area with whom he clearly has long-standing friendships, including local artist Craig Anthony Miller, Yukako Satone's Loop of the Loom studio, and last and definitely not least, Mark Thompson's Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory! The time flew by, and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dom. He loves sharing his passion and knowledge of his backyard with visitors like us. I cannot recommend Dom's tour highly enough; thanks, Dom, we had a blast.

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

We loved our Made in Brooklyn Tour! As locals, it was great getting to dive deeper into the history of our own neighborhood. Dom was such a great guide, he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the neighborhood, and New York City, history. He personalized the tour and made it worth coming out on a rainy day!

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.

Great walking tour or the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn. We learned a lot of history about the area, why it has that name, interesting stories about products and industries from the area. We also got to visit some local artisans, see great views, and taste some local products which were amazing.

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.

Dom was wonderful!! It was such a personal, well thought out tour. We not only saw many great places, but Dom introduced us to many artist and business owners in the community. Highly recommended this tour for anyone! Price is a steal for the service he provides. :)

Our tour guide, Dom, was friendly and welcoming right from the start. His love of Brooklyn based on his personal experiences was evident. We enjoyed the hands-on experience weaving and the take-away that came with it. I would highly recommend this tour to both visitors and native New Yorkers!

Very informative and entertaining visit of BROOKLYN from the "Made Locally" angle. Dom Gervasi told us the great history of Brooklyn, with some amazing anecdotes. Great! "MADE IN BROOKLYN TOUR" [email protected]

My group attended the DUMBO neighborhood tour and it was very entertaining and enlightening. As someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn, there was so much information that I was not even aware of. Dom was great at providing information in a way that was relatable to everyone on the tour and he did a great job of including everyone. Meeting shop owners was a highlight!

Dom is truly a great host and a great event. Really unique way to get to understand a neighborhood that many only know the surface of.

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.

Dom curated a perfect walking tour of Red Hook for a private corporate event. We were 7 people and the tour was well planned start to finish. We stopped at some local businesses, and Dom is a wealth of knowledge of all things Brooklyn - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer including "Who is the park named after and why?". Our group was particularly interested in housing and real-estate history (we told him in advance) and he made sure to incorporate this theme into the tour as well. Highly recommend you take a walking tour with Dom - it seems like he can curate something special for any Brooklyn neighborhood!

Fantastic tour of DUMBO! We not only learned a lot about DUMBO, its history, and Brooklyn in general from Dom--a witty, informed, and great guide--we got to visit local establishments and meet the creative people who make DUMBO thrive. On top of meeting DUMBO artists of all types, we were treated to delicious hot chocolate, rode the carousel and finished the day eating delicious pizza. This is a tour for all who wish to discover Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods. Whether you're a tourist visiting New York City or a city resident, put on your walking shoes and join Dom for the best day ever!

My daughter and I toured Dumbo with Dom on Saturday,April 30. As a native, lifelong Brooklynite I thought I knew a lot about my borough - boy was I wrong! Armed with flip charts -Dom presented so much fascinating historical information - very thoroughly researched- and gave us insight into present day Dumbo as well. The highlight of the tour was four stops where we met and spoke with some unique and diverse artists and artisans who contribute to the vitality that is Dumbo. Enjoyed meeting them and learning about each craft. In addition Dom made recommendations of stops to make and places to eat should we come back to visit Dumbo on our own. Dom’s an engaging, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide- my daughter and I eagerly look forward to visiting other Brooklyn neighborhoods with him. Sneakers ready- we’re all set to go!!!

This small group tour is the best way to get to know the DUMBO neighborhood. It’s great when a guide actually does his research, and actually likes people! We will give Dom a call next time we are in town and want to see some other neighborhoods. Highly recommended!

Although we've been to NY a few times (from UK), we've never been to Brooklyn, so this tour was an absolute treat to discover! Despite the snow, Dom put together the most wonderful programme and introduced us to some lovely local business people. Can't thank him enough for his enthusiasm and passion - if you are looking for history and adventure, book yourself on one of Dom's tours. You won't be disappointed.
