5.00Our tour with Legendary Lenny was the absolute highlight of our Buffalo trip. My son and I were in town to watch the Chiefs play the Bills, and decided to book this tour, and we’re so glad we did. Lenny picked us up right at our hotel and took us on an incredible experience: a quick Niagara tour, the Maid of the Mist boat ride, the observation deck, a stop at a bakery for a fantastic pot roast sandwich, another great view of the falls, and the Cave of the Winds. He then dropped us back at our hotel. Throughout the entire day, Lenny kept us laughing and shared a wealth of interesting facts and stories. I highly recommend this tour—and make sure you ask for Lenny!

5.00Nov 1, 2025. We were visiting Buffalo for the Bills Sunday game (GO BILLS!) and decided to take this tour, which ended up being a fantastic decision. From the moment we booked, communication from Over the Falls Tours was excellent. Pickup instructions were very thorough and easy to understand. The schedule was great as we got to see Niagara Falls from every possible angle without feeling rushed. Now, our guide, Lenny, was absolutely fantastic — funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging. He connected with everyone in the group, made us laugh, and kept things flowing effortlessly. He took us to an Italian bakery, DiCamillos, where we had an insanely awesome pot roast sandwich. He even took great photos of everyone and airdropped them before we left. Such a cool touch. If you’re visiting the area — especially if you’re here for a Bills game — don’t miss this tour. 100% worth it. Thanks, Over the Falls Tours, and huge shoutout to Lenny for making it unforgettable!
