Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! We truly enjoyed this tour and our daughter, who now lives in Buffalo will be finding new bike tours with this company!

We had a great time on the tour with Sarah. She was enthusiastic and was engaging with us as participants. It was only our group of four with her. You do bike on a mix of roads, bike lanes and sidewalks, but it's pretty safe. We had a few people do the e-bikes and a few on the road bikes. The bikes were good quality. They are easily found on the commercial slip in canalside. Sarah went through just enough history for a casual tour. Sign up for their newsletter as I was sent a promo code after I already bought the tour and the tour was not refundable. It could save you a few bucks. Overall great tour!

My husband and I took the History Ride: Best of Buffalo, and I'm so glad we did. Sarah was our guide. She selected and got our bikes ready, gave us a quick overview on what to expect and immediately launched into giving us all sorts of interesting facts. The ride itself ended up being around 7+ miles, spread out over 2.5 hours. The pace was leisurely and not hard at all. We rode mainly in bike lanes and sometimes on sidewalks, and cars were aware and respectful. We stopped often, where Sarah would tell us about the area, history, architecture. The time flew by and we not only enjoyed ourselves, we learned a lot. We got to see a lot of Buffalo during the tour.

Did a great tour led by LeAnn along with a family of 3. We started at Canalside then went up towards downtown then Michigan St Corridor then towards Allentown to check out Theodore Roosevelt Inauguration Site and then into Front Park to get on the harbor back to our starting point. I learned a lot during this tour and weather definitely cooperated for us, wasn't too hot or cold, just perfect. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn history of Buffalo

I've lived in Buffalo my whole life and still learned a lot about the history of the City. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and even played some music for us! If you're looking for a fun way to get outside and learn something this is a great experience.

I recently moved to Buffalo and booked this tour to do with my parents when they visited. We had a great time and learned so much about the city! Our tour guide, Leanne was super knowledgeable and very sweet. I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the city or just see all the beautiful sights.
