History Ride: The Best of Buffalo by Bike

This downtown tour stops at many of the city’s most well-known buildings like Buffalo City Hall, the Electric Tower, and the Guaranty Building, and shares the fascinating stories behind them.

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.
