Dom was a great guide and took us to several cool maker spots around DUMBO. We saw a variety of crafts people and enjoyed some tasty treats along the way, too. Lots of fun, and a great way to spend the afternoon.

Grinders Take on Dumbo
Dom is an excellent guide and really was tuned into what we liked and pivoted in discussion with the businesses to get the best out of each place visited. It rained and he totally worked on moving things around for us. So knowledgeable! I would do his other tours!

Historic, local, and creatively immersive Brooklyn experience.
We had the pleasure of taking the Made in Brooklyn tour with Dom, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. Dom was extremely informative, sharing fascinating details about the historic buildings in the heart of DUMBO and memorable stories about the construction of the Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg bridges. But the tour was so much more than history — Dom introduced us to artisanal shops, unique local experiences, and even arranged for us to meet a local artist in his workspace, which was an unforgettable glimpse into Brooklyn’s creative community. His knowledge, passion, and ability to bring the neighborhood’s past and present to life made this tour both educational and truly special. Highly recommended!
Operator response
Thank you, thank you, thank you! It means a helluva lot to be appreciated! Made in Brooklyn Tours is at your service! Come again and we'll visit another beloved Brooklyn nabe!

Our First Visit to Brooklyn
We had a fantastic experience touring the DUMBO area and Brooklyn Bridge with our guide, Dom Gervasi. His deep knowledge truly brought the neighborhood's history to life. He shared fascinating stories about the old headquarters of Brillo Pads, Domino Sugar, Uneeda Biscuits and Yuban Coffee, connecting the past to the modern thriving Dumbo district. We especially appreciated his insights on the Italian immigrants and their two waves of arrival in Brooklyn, giving us a deeper appreciation for the area's diverse heritage. Dom introduced us to unique artisan shops and artists that we never would have found on our own, making the experience both cultural and personal.
Operator response
It brings me great pleasure to inspire guests like yourselves with Brooklyn. With our heritage and present. See you again sometime! Thank you!
