Double Decker fun in Buffalo from Missouri - Our "British" tour guide was the best. He was very knowledgeable and had a terrific personality. We really enjoyed seeing the U.S.S. Sullivan and riding around Buffalo while he pointed out important buildings and sites. We would recommend this Double Decker Bus Tour for anyone who goes to Buffalo.

Engaging Historic Tour You MUST Experience! - I love going on historic tours when I visit new cities, but this has BY FAR been the best that I have experienced! Very reasonable price point for a tour that is packed with so much information. Our tour guide was engaging, funny, personable and knowledgeable! He’s such a great storyteller and we didn’t feel that it was rushed. If you’re visiting Buffalo or just want to know more about the city, this experience is a must! My daughter and I are visiting from SC and we already want to return with our family members! This tour will definitely be on our itinerary when we return!

Humorous, Entertaining Tour of Buffalo Highlights - This was a great overview of Buffalo! Our guide was really funny yet very informative. He kept us laughing the entire trip. I loved the tour of the Naval Park. The stairs were easy to negotiate and there were benches for sitting during his talk. We are from Buffalo and yet learned a lot of new information. I did like the stop at the Richardson Complex and the brief tour of the new Richardson Hotel. I would suggest that the tour include a drive by of the AKG, Hoyt Lake and The Terrace Restaurant and History Museum from the OTHER side (Scajaquada Expressway). Such a stunning view to show visitors! Also include a mention of the Wilcox Mansion as you pass by on Delaware.

Best and Funniest Tour EVER - Hilarious and Informative! Will recommend to everyone! I would skip
the former mental hospital and perhaps pick up Anchor Bar and Roosevelt Inaugural sites for history lessons.
