Buffalo Tours

Another interesting event happening all throughout the summer in Buffalo are the Buffalo tours sponsored by Preservation Buffalo Niagara. These tours, led by educated and trained tour guides, take groups of people on tours of all of the major historical, architectural, and eye pleasing sights that the beautiful city of Buffalo has to offer. The tours are on foot and last a few hours. Tickets to participate are ten dollars, and there is a five dollar student discount offered. The tours are mainly downtown and showcase landmarks such as City Hall, the Erie Canal, the Guaranty Building, Ellicott Square, the Electrical Building, Lafayette Hotel, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, and the Statler Towers. Tours are mostly available on the weekends, but City Hall tours are available every weekday. The Buffalo Tours group also offers tours that showcase different aspects of the city, like special Waterfront tours and tours that include a bus or boat ride. Through July and August, all tours start at 10 AM. I can also speak from experience about these tours, because my cousin happens to be one of the tour guides for Preservation Buffalo Niagara. She volunteers her weekend time during the summer to put on these tours to convey her love for the city. She really enjoys doing it. It’s nice and comforting as well to know that the people touring you around the city really do like what they do and feel passionate about what they are talking about. Going on one of these tours will not be a disappointment! Buffalo has been called the “best designed city”, and it certainly lives up to its reputation!
