The Double Decker Bus Tour was a lot of fun. We learned a lot of history about Buffalo from the very colorful tour guide. He was a hoot! From his Irish accent to his dated policeman's uniform. He was informative and comical. Very relaxed atmosphere. A well spent 2 hours!

A couple of friends and I did the beach sunset bus ride. We are lifelong Buffalonians and had not been to the beach that we were visiting in years. It was a fun experience from start to finish. We met at the Barrel Factory which is a great place to eat and drink anyway, and received a “to go” drink which was crafted in house, and was delicious and refreshing. When we boarded the bus, we played a fun and rousing game of sing-along bingo. A small prize was awarded to the winners. The bus ride along the lake was stunning, and it was a beautiful summer evening . By the time we arrived at the beach, the sun was about to set in 20 minutes and was spectacular. There was seating at an enclosed area near the beach, and a band was playing and we stayed about a half hour to listen to them before departing. There was a bar at the beach as well and you could also order food. On the way back, we had a sing-along of top songs from the 60s to the 90s. It was a very memorable and fun evening, and a great way to wind down the remaining days of summer . I would definitely go on another one of these excursions and would highly recommend them whether you are a local or a visitor.denisecP6028BJ
