I booked a tour of Red Hook for ten friends and family members for my husband's birthday, and everyone had a wonderful time. We had a mix of folks from Brooklyn, Manhattan and out of town, and it was informative and engaging for everyone. History buffs will love the detail Dom provides, shoppers will love visiting the artisans (and buying... More

I took my mom for a tour of one of her old stomping grounds, Bensonhurst. Dom was a ton of fun as were all of the folks we met on the tour. We learned a lot about the neighborhood, the people, and the businesses there - and gained insights into how it has changed over the years. Really, a wonderful... More

It was a beautiful day and that morning we decided to do a walking tour. Dom, the host, was very accommodating to accept the last minute booking. The tour commences from the ferry journey, so don't miss the option to commence the tour from Manhattan. Dom's passion for the area is unquestionable. He relays the history and story behind the...

Dom is a terrific tour guide! He is a Brooklyn native and extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable about his beloved borough. We learned a lot about the history of the Brooklyn waterfront and were fascinated with the new and unique businesses featured on the DUMBO tour. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in this great borough, and you won't find... More

Our guide met us at pier 11 in Manhattan near Wall Street and accompanied us across the Hudson River to DUMBO. Although the ferry ride to Brooklyn is not included in the cost of the tour, the convenience and charm of approaching the site by crossing the river is worth the $4.00 fee. The 3 hour tour featured discussion about... More

I love history, I love entrepreneurs and I love Brooklyn. Dom has done a marvelous job of combining all of my passions in one tour! It was fun, educational and I was able to meet with local entrepreneurs working hard on their craft. I took the DUMBO tour. All the tours are different and ours ran past the 2 hours... More

Dom is a wonderful tour guide! We really felt like we had insider knowledge to Brooklyn. He was very knowledgeable in the information given and making it interesting throughout the tour. He took us thru the DUMBO neighborhood took us to little shops and artists that we would have never found on our own. If you like to buy local... More

On Saturday, I took Made In Brooklyn Tour's first outing in Bensonhurst. Not only did I learn about the neighborhood where John Travolta walked in Saturday Night Fever, but I ate some of the most delicious Italian food I ever tasted. When the tour ended, I felt like I got a real authentic tour of Bensonhurst from a person who... More

My husband and I have been on many tours, but this one was one of the best. Dom could not have been more informative and charming. Even though the weather was frigid we did not want the tour to end. Money well spent. Barbara and Kevin K. More

I will definetely join another tour with him, it's worth every second. Dom,... More
