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!

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!
