    Terrific tour of Saint Stanislaus church in Buffalo, the "mother church" of Polonia here. Two docents, who are church members, led the tour , explaining the naming of the church, its history, Polish history in Bufflalo and beyond. They were articulate, engaging, so knowledgeable. If possible, take this tour before the Buffalo diocese closes this church, too.

    Presidential History Tour

    Recently got the explorer pass and went on our first tour of the season with it - Presidents of Buffalo. The tour guide was friendly and informative. It focused primarily on 4 presidents: - Grover Cleveland - Millard Fillmore - McKinley - Lincoln Our tour guide also shared bits of information on the other buildings we walked past. Explore Buffalo offers several tours each day and in many neighborhoods. They even have some bike tours! Online reservations are super easy, and the explorer pass is a good option if you plan on doing at least 3 tours in a year. I would recommend checking them out!

    Had an amazing time taking the morning tour walk around Delaware Park! Claudia & Lynn are wonderful guides & it was great to learn about the area while taking a scenic stroll!

    I attended the Explore Buffalo's West Side mob tour. This was led by tour guide Bob who had lots of stories and supporting photos of news articles about the events he talked about that made the stories that much more interesting. We had lots of questions on the tour and Bob had all the answers. At one point on the tour it started to rain and Bob was willing to continue his stories for anyone that wanted to stay! The tour was great and the customer service of Explore Buffalo was great as we had originally booked the Allen Town mob tour but due to cancellation they accommodated us to switch to this one seamlessly.

    I attended the West Side Mob Tour and had a great experience. Our guide, Bob, was very knowledgeable and able to answer additional questions. He also had pictures of the people/news articles in his stories which helped bring them to life. The tour was a good value- $15 for 2 hrs. The walk was slow enough that the variety of ages in the group appeared comfortable. I definitely want to attend another of Explore Buffalo's tours in the future!

    Ground-view of the Perot silos on the Silo City Vertical Tour

    My sister-in-law and her husband have the Explorer Pass and couldn't recommend Explore Buffalo more highly for our visit. We took them up on the Leading Ladies of Delaware Ave tour and then again for the Silo City Vertical tour. Leading Ladies was a new tour for our docent, but you wouldn't have known it if she hadn't mentioned it. For a tour that admittedly wasn't "my pick", it was a really entertaining and enjoyable experience that flew by. Whether it was admiring the architecture of Delaware Ave or listening to tales of Buffalo society of yore and some of the "scandal" of the past, the tour had a little something for everyone. The Silo City vertical tour was "my pick" and it didn't disappoint at all. Our docent, Margaret, should be crowned "queen of the silos" if such a honorary title exists. She knew SO MUCH about the space that it was easy to imagine the facilities "coming to life" as we explored them. As someone with a fear of falling (less so the heights), this tour was totally manageable and well worth it. Margaret was upfront on the reality of the facility, but her experience and delivery completely makes you feel at ease. This is a hidden gem that seamlessly mixes unrivaled views, historical perspective and urban exploration. A hidden gem! Can't wait for our next trip to Buffalo to add more stops with Explore Buffalo.

    We just did the Silo City Grounded tour with Larry. He's so full of stories and information, but more importantly a passion for Silo City and Buffalo history. He was great! The tour was fun, easy to walk, just the right length. If you ever wanted to get inside one of those grain silos and hear what they're all about, this tour is well worth it.

    My husband and I took the City of Light tour on Saturday December 8th. The bus arrived at the Seminary on time and Denise and Rocco were friendly and excited to get started. Denise was very knowledgeable and anxious to share her extensive knowledge of the area with us. We were able to enter and your many of our stops, which was unexpected and appreciated. Rocco was an excellent driver and very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend this tour without reservation! We are trying the Silo tour next!!

    An amazing adventure. We took the Forest lawn cemetery tour. You meet at the Wendy Center, check…read morein, and check in for the trolley. Our docent (Rebecca) was excellent. So much information, fun facts, and a few special guests. The 2 hour tour could easily have been 3-4 hours. Wonderful and fascinating facts about Buffalo and the people. You can sign up for the tour on their website. Book early it is quite full

    Come see some ghosts…read more Red Jacket is buried here. There's a huge statue in his honor by the Delaware Ave gate. In front of his huge statue are a number of other Native Americans who were significant in some way. Come see the sphinx, there's only one here. Near Hengerer, where you can have tea (if you remember those days). The tall blue spire is here too - from the Sears home catalog (first of its type). You could order your own spire from the catalog. Irving Berlins first wife is here, she died soon after their marriage. Come find out how many former Mayors of Buffalo are buried here. Learn about the history of motion pictures in America. This is a trolley tour of forest lawn. The trolley fits perhaps 30 people and starts on time. So be on time. You can reserve online (tickets cost depending on your subject and length), or chance it and go to register when there. Twice I've had the same docent and she's really good. She's been doing the tours for over a decade and really does seem able to answer any question. It's a few hours that will give you tons of interesting and fun info. Well worth the price of entry.

    Tour date was 6/15. Steve was fantastic, great energy, had a lot of history to share on the falls,…read moreand did a great job keeping the group together. I really like how the folks who organized the tour make it a point to talk to all the folks in the group to try and get to know where everyone is from and a little about the family. It felt personable and not like you're another body on their tour but that they genuinely want to know where their "guests " are from; not just another customer. I would recommend their tour to anyone looking to do one. Maid of the mist was the coolest experience! What a view of all the falls. Would recommend a camera with a handle of some sort. Horseshoe falls was windy and wet! I was worried about dropping my phone. A lot of people start pushing to get to the railing of the ship. Not everyone on the boat is from your tour group. We got on the boat and stood by the side rail of the boat to get the view. My son and I were standing there by ourselves and people start filling in. As you get close to the falls people push you out of the way to try and squeeze in to get their photo. We were literally pushed out of the way. Hence the reason I was worried about dropping my phone. Cave of the winds also an experience but not what I was expecting. Maybe I didn't do my research but, I thought it was something different. The staircase down to the falls was pretty cool, you really get a glimpse of how powerful the falls are. You're right up there next to the American fall, it was very wet and windy. I got a little nervous, if you drop anything, it's gone. Hard to take pictures with hurricane force winds and the amount of water coming at you. Definitely suggest a camera with some sort of a handle or something. Saw a certificate in a gift shop that said I survived the hurricane winds of cave of the winds...had I have known it was going to be what it was I might have chosen not to do this part of the tour. But at the same time it was a pretty cool experience. I have no regrets doing it, just wasn't expecting to get blasted and soaked by the falls!

The well-trained your guide Chloee had a binder of relevant photos and graphics. This tour is an extended "show and tell" experience. The walking pace was moderate, and the guide's voice (using a portable speaker) was audible throughout the tour. We learned about Toronto's history, geography, name, culture, and diversity. Chloee made herself available to answer questions one-on-one and also in the whole-group context. She included some suggestions for follow-up activities, including a visit to Graffiti Alley. We visited that site the same day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

I saw some of the most beautiful sites and learned wonderful history facts on the buildings and landmarks throughout the tour. My favorite was the amazing St. Lawrence Market! If you want to feel like you're getting your own personalized tour of a fantastic city and want to learn local tips about the Toronto food and drink scene then this is the tour for you. Luckily we had time to do a beer tasting and sake tasting too! I highly recommend this tour, I'll be back!
