Just do it! Fun way to learn!

SAT JUN 27, 2026 BUFFALO NY Wonderful time in the city made possible with the bike tour with Buffalo Bike Tours. I highly recommend them!!! Bike tours are such a fun way to see a city And "Tour Guide Mark" did not disappoint! Interesting buildings, both new and old and preservation that has been happening. Historic jazz culture and black neighborhoods that the city & preservation orgs are working on revitalization & telling the stories. Learned about first female architect, Louise Blanchard Bethune, (designed Hotel Lafayette history) and the feminist that she was related to suffrage and (daring to ride bicycles & even created a women's bike club) among other things. Some lovely curated murals & urban graffiti. There is much history to be had! AND Even an original song by our "Tour Guide Mark"! - Side note about wanderlust, travel, flexibility, adjusting. I was supposed to have done this bike tour on Friday in Niagara. But I was the only person that had signed up as of Wed, so when the owner contacted me and made the offer for Buffalo tour on Saturday I flexed my schedule and made Buffalo 10:00 a.m. work out. I am so happy that things worked out that way. What a great experience in Buffalo New York that I had never planned to add in.

Buffalo Cycling

This is a unique tour that takes you by bicycle to places that are difficult for individuals to reach. It's a little difficult, but I can understand the history of Buffalo.

Highly recommend the Waterfront Ride!

I highly recommend the Waterfront Ride! Marc and Maria were welcoming, accommodating and well-informed guides. They are passionate and knowledgeable about local history and perfect ambassadors to the city!! I am a less experienced biker and felt totally comfortable on the ride. The ride was comfortable and well-paced and the scenery was great. Riding the bike ferry is a treat!

Buffalo bike Waterfront tour

The tour was informative and fun. The bike ride was an easy ride with stops along the way to point out the high lights of the waterfront. I would highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors that come to our beautiful city. Mark and Marie have so much knowledge about the city and love to share it with others.

Buffalo Waterfront Tour

This was a great experience. Learned alot about the history of the area, enjoyed the great scenery, Ebikes we're a first for us and they were a blast. Mark was our guide /songwriter/ eukele player and did an excellent job. Definitely worth the trip across the border to enjoy the day with such a fun group.
