Made in Brooklyn Tour

What a wonderful tour we had with Dom! So knowledgeable of the Brooklyn history- and he speaks from his heart- which makes this tour so memorable and Fun!! Incorporating some local businesses he has relationships with made us feel like locals! Dom we'll see you in the Spring for Coney Island!

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!

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!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, very sweet, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. It was fun, informative, and overall one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting!

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.

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!

I just did a Coney Island tour with Dom and it was excellent. He is very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a thorough historical tour of the beginnings of Coney island and more. I would highly recommend this tour.

This is an amazing tour! Dom was born and lives in Brooklyn and he does an awesome job showing off his wonderful borough. The tour covered history, art, Brooklyn's manufacturing heritage and the best hot chocolate in the world. We had an awesome time - enjoyed the tour, getting to know the area and spending the day with Dom. Highly recommend

Dom’s tour was absolutely amazing! We fell in love with Brooklyn and its people. Dom’s passion and true love for his city shines through. We visited some very interesting businesses and I even got to try my hand at Zen weaving! Thank You so much Dom for an unforgettable experience, I cannot wait to return to embark on your other tours.

Dom was the penultimate guide. Super knowledgeable and able to answer any question, and took some great photos of us. You can tell he is passionate about his hometown and his pride shines through his tour. I highly recommend his tour, and we will definitely do one of the other ones next time we’re in town.
