Our tour guide Ellen did an excellent job of narrating this 1.5 hour trip down the Buffalo River. She spoke for nearly the whole time and wove together many different facets of industry, history, and local lore. Summer weekends look to be quite popular for this tour so I suggest getting a reservation on-line - their website and the process is very easy to use. Definitely a must do when in Buffalo!

They are so good, that they actually sound like the original. Outstanding musicians! Well my wife found this Bed & Breakfast place called, "Buffalo Harmony House". The venue was right around the corner and walking distance so we didn't even use our car after we arrived on Saturday afternoon. We even had it parked on the correct side of the street because on Monday you had to have the car on the correct side of the street for the city sweepers. Daniel was our host and he welcomed us with open arms and made sure that we were very comfortable. The house was built in the 1800's and he and Molly purchased this run down building and it took them around 13 years to renovate it. It is so beautiful if you enjoy being in a home with a lot of antiques. Every room is unique on itself. This was no first time for us in a Bed & Breakfast and I must say it was a fabulous experience. The breakfast are wonderful. All organic and locally grown and it was a four course breakfast. This is not your regular bacon, eggs, home fries and toast on a plate. I've been in Europe and other places and this beats all. Planning on coming back even if there is no show to go to. Loved this place! Oh, before I forget...their staff are incredible and we were lucky to have cyclist from California. They were a total of eight. Great people and very much in fantastic shape!

Since that moment I have been out on the river twice and absolutely enjoyed myself while learning new information on each trip up the river (I am still waiting for my stale donuts Tom ... haha). This is a well done tour whether you are a tourist or someone like me with a lifelong connection to the City of Good Neighbors. The river is beautiful and the history lessons interesting. If you find yourself downtown on a beautiful day with time on your hands take to the river!!

My…read morefamily and I have attended similar walks in Cape Cod and North Carolina and found them entertaining. This walk was a history tour at best - no talks of hauntings, ghosts or paranormal. Not scary at all. Further, the group leader was ill prepared, his audio device didn't work (so the large audience in attendance couldn't hear him) and he was not aware of the path, surprised by construction, he seemed to make it up as he went. Some history, no jokes, no spooks ... bummer, my family and out of town guests were so looking forward to this. I think it has potential with better prep, richer story telling and new batteries in the portable microphone - I recommend a different walk - this one disappointed !!!

I found the Underground Railroad tour in Buffalo and immediately booked. Why did I book? For starts, it's a 3 hour tour learning about one of the most historic and unknown aspects of American history. It is extremely well priced for the convenience and intimacy of the tour. You're picked up at the Underground Railroad Historic Museum (free parking is a bonus) and you're met by Kevin (dressed in period clothing including a dope top hat). He drives you to the key areas of Buffalo that were critical to the Underground Railroad. We had a very diverse tour group and Kevin made us feel comfortable to ask questions and to interact with our group. One of the best parts of the tour was going to an actual "station" on the Underground Railroad. It's a 300 year-old barn organically owned by McClew family who were "conductors" on the Underground Railroad. You get to experience the barn where many people were housed, fed, and clothed on their journey to Canada. After this experience 've become a Motherland C groupie! Kevin (the owner) could be a history professor (watch out, Dr. Gates!) with his knowledge and passion of American history and the history of Western New York (he's a Buffalo native). Kevin even gave great recommendations for shops, food and hotels for the Toronto leg of our trip. They offer a variety of tours so make sure to check out their website to get their schedule.
