Spent the weekend in NY and took at walking tour of Bensonhurst, a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Dom, the guide, was fabulous-entertaining, knowledgeable, grew up in the area, and was overall the perfect host. Fun to learn about the area and the food we ate was amazing. The 3 1/2 hour tour went by really fast. If you're heading out to... More

My wife and I worked with Dom to put together a private tour for a group of our friends in town and it was fantastic. Dom has put in a lot of legwork to get this tour right - he's visited shops, met the proprietors, and has a great relationship with everybody he sees. In addition, he's prepared to talk... More

Dom is a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgable, flexible and accommodating, and has curated a fantastic tour of his childhood neighborhood. The day we toured, we sampled paninis, raviolis and hero sandwiches. The tour was well paced and interesting -- varying from historic information to modern day examples of what Brooklyn is. Highly recommended!

This was an amazing tour. There was a lot to see and learn. Dom was very passionate about this tour and knew a lot about the area. We were very glad we went and would recommend it to everyone. The next time I am back in the area I will definitely do another of Doms tours.

I loved this tour. Fortunately for me, I was the only one on this tour on this beautiful day so I got the Queen's treatment. I was surprised Dom didn't cancel on me and enjoy the weather. I learned a ton about this part of Brooklyn, learned about the resilience of the people, after hurricane Sandy, and enjoyed wonderful wine... More

I am so glad I made the decision to partake in the tour of the Gowanus neighborhood organized by Dom of Made in Brooklyn Tours. Though peppered throughout with historical facts and descriptions of the landmark buildings we passed, this tour was unique in that it also showcased a neighborhood in a transition that was practically occurring live in front...

Dom was a wonderful tour guide, full of history and information about the area. We got the insiders' treatment in some really cool places and felt like we learned a lot about a part our borough that's on the rise. His enjoyment of his subject was infectious. Well done!

Dom is adorable, fun and eager to share all his childhood stories! We have spent a nice and interesting afternoon walking, tasting italian food and meeting people. We would definitely go back with another tour with Dom!
