Overview

Trip Advisor calls our tours the "#1 Thing to Do In Buffalo" because our tours blend humor and history. Your guide is Officer O'Connor, an Irish Cop with uniform and full brogue who brings to life the amazing story of Buffalo. You will discover how Buffalo grew from a small frontier village to become the 8th largest city in America. Your guide uses storytelling and humor to reveal the hard scrabble lives of immigrants who came to the city seeking a better life. The start of this event is the interior tour of an abandoned grain silo on the waterfront. You will explore and experience the dangers and mysteries entombed in this massive concrete cathedral to Buffalo's industrial past.
The driving portion of the tour covers the city's beautiful waterfront featuring the Outer Harbor. A sense of humor is best for this engaging tour that is filled with laughs and great stories of Buffalo's beautiful, and sometimes notorious, waterfront.

Joel was very knowledgeable and presented a lot of information we did not know with a touch of humor that kept us involved. A must do tour for the whole family, we were a Veterans group and he knew how to relate with us, excellent.

Really enjoyed all the surprises. The grain silos were fascinating as was the boat shed. And our Outer Harbor and Canalside are true gems! But loved learning more about the grain elevators and the Erie Canal and our heritage! Cannot wait to do a barge run on the canal with donkeys.
