Angelo did a great job of providing a good mix of historical information (particularly about the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights) with various sampling snacks (bagels, dumplings, fried pickles, pizza and chocolate BON BONS (said in American accent)). He was always focused on ensuring the group had a good time with quality food and his research showed.
We really enjoyed the group getting together at the end at the Timeout Market to share a range of foods and the random insights into the area including celebrity sightings. A couple of suggestions for next time: 1- the meeting spot isn't easy to find for those not familiar with the area (the meeting address provided was, somewhat oddly, an apartment building and the address number was under scaffolding so not immediately clear). Perhaps simply meet in the nearby park next to the soccer field or near a landmark like outside the library down the street? 2 - We also thought the tour could've moved a bit quicker at times. It became quite tiring (yet worth it).
Thanks for an interesting half-day outside of Manhattan. Give this tour a go!

Hello and thank you for attending our Dumbo tour!
We appreciate your feedback. Apologies that our meeting place was a bit tricky to find. To make this simple for travelers, we do have to have an exact address, which unfortunately does not exist in the park across the street. And the construciton on the building has made this tricky. We will look to see how this can be improved upon. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Angelo and the food. We typically have this tour run at 3 hours and sometimes a guide may go a bit over time in his/her efforts to be thorough and create the best possible experience. We will look to see ways to have this stay within the time allocated.
