Buffalo History Tours

We took the Silo City tour. It was amazing! There was only 4 of us on the tour, but that didn't stop our captain or docent from giving us the full experience. We learned so much and gained a new appreciation for the hard work and struggles of those who came before us. Highly recommend this tour.

Dont miss an opportunity to take one of Joel's tours. He is a phenomenal storyteller. But the amazing thing is that his stories are about history and he makes history fun and exciting. My group has taken many tours with guides, docents, and the usual people who offer this kind of tour and by and far Joel is the best, hands down.

Joel gave a tour at the Lafayette Hotel and did a stellar job. This was for a work function and he made it educational, fun, and certainly kept everyone entertained. I would highly recommend him as a tour guide!

As someone that's relatively new to the Buffalo area, it's tours like these that are great for learning about the history of the city. I went on the Lawless Pub Crawl, and Joel was not only full of cool, interesting knowledge but also incredibly funny and entertaining. This particular tour is $20/ticket, and it's totally worth it. I can't wait to go on another one of Joel's tours in the future!

We recently rented a school bus for a family reunion trip to Niagara Falls and Joel was our step-on guide. We were a group of 29 with ages ranging from 5 mos. to 81. Joel made an instant connection with all of the children and held the attention of the adults as well. He demonstrated his depth of knowledge of the region while telling stories and keeping everyone entertained. Many of our history buffs could not stump him with numerous questions about the region. His leadership as our guide made the day extremely special. I would recommend his services to anyone!
