Waterfront Ride: Outer Harbor History Bike Tour

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

We did this tour today and had a fabulous time! Tour gave us the opportunity to use Ebikes for the first time. Highly recommend!!

Great tour and guide. We had to do our route backwards because of the marathon. I felt it flowed very well!

We had a wonderful tour with Matthew. He was very knowledgeable and kept it very interesting. We learned so much about Buffalo. The ride by the outer harbor was really beautiful. Definitely a great way to see the area.

Tour was very interesting, lots of nice views to take in, and great stories! Our guide was fantastic and even as a local history teacher I learned a lot. My husband and I had a great date and a nice work out!

We had the best time!!! Matthew was our tour guide! He was friendly and clearly loves his job and his city. We learned so much and saw beautiful sites. We laughed and just enjoyed ourselves so much. The tour went over a bit but we didn’t mind. If you have other plans just let him know so he can adjust. Well worth your time.
