This tour was absolutely hilarious, informative, and eye-opening! We were learning, exploring, and laughing the entire time. The engaging storytelling and interactive experiences made us feel like we had stepped right back into history. Truly worth every penny and if we could give it more than 5 stars, we would in a heartbeat!

This is not what you might expect from a 2-hour bus tour of Buffalo, NY. The guide is knowledgeable but, more importantly, hilarious and spontaneous. This is a must-do, like the Maid of the Mist, if you're out on the shores of Lake Erie.

Very unique experience! Learned history of Buffalo by humor! Thank you, Joel, for sharing your knowledge of so many sites. I enjoyed going in the USS Sullivan, and going inside The Richardson Hotel (former Hotel Henry).
