Very disappointed in tour guide. Instead of giving us a "history" of the Buffalo River, we got too many personal accounts of the guide's personal work background, trivial stories, references to his favorite watering holes (for alcohol) or restaurants and not nearly enough topical information related to Buffalo's development along Lake Erie and the Buffalo River. Having lived in Western NY for the first 40 years of my life, and now returning more than 25 years later, I was expecting primarily an historical tour with one or two brief annecdotal stories. Instead, the opposite was true. How did Buffalo get to be one of the most significant industrial cities on the Great Lakes by the early 1990s? What advantages did Buffalo have over other Great Lakes cities that spawned its growth? What led to the city's industrial demise in the 1960s and 1970s? When did the concept of Canalside start? What development has happened thus far and what is coming in the near future? None of these questions were discussed, to any appreciable degree, without the guide launching into another personal story. The last 20-30 minutes, most people were tuning him out, because all the guide was trying to do was placate himself to the few people who engaged with him about beer and some story about the Catholic church (I'm NOT Catholic, but his story about the church wasn't relevant). The guide couldn't stay on topic and deliver what I thought we would be getting -- a solid, historically based account of Buffalo and its vital association with the river and Lake Erie. The river history tour is a GREAT idea -- the renaissance of the Buffalo river and harbor area is remarkable, considering what this area was like even 20-30 years ago. Despite the lovely weather and terrific views of the restored river and harbor, my wife and I felt we did not get what we expected from this tour.

A top rated tour of Buffalo history through the past two hundred years. As a volunteer at Canalside, I am amazed at the amount of history that can be presented during the tour.
Equipment is top rate and staff is top rated. A highly recommended experience for visitors and Buffalo residents!

As a resident of Buffalo from birth to age 40 I thought I knew everything about the city. I was wrong!

This Saturday morning tour was amazing! Extremely informative and Howard kept us all engaged with knowledge. He was the best tour guide. I bought this tour for my mom’s 92nd birthday gift and she could not stop talking about it to everyone.

Jody also went above and beyond to call ahead and let us know about the parking situation as there was a few other events happening canal side.

The captain and the bartender were also very friendly and a pleasure.

I highly recommend these boat tours.
Thank you!

Don was funny, informative and engaging. The tour was interesting and even tho I've done this tour before, I learned a few new things. The day was gorgeous and it felt so nice to be out on the water.

This was an excellent river boat tour of the Niagara River area of Buffalo, NY. Howard narrated the tour and is extremely knowledgeable. He gave us so much information about the beginning of the Erie Canal in 1817-25 and how it allowed Buffalo to become a huge commercial grain port. Beautiful views of our famous grain elevators. Wonderful river trip with great views and historical information. This will be the perfect tour to take next year during the bicentennial celebration of the Erie Canal.

My immediate family (total of 5 adults) had a reunion in Williamsville. We found the Buffalo River History tour really fascinating. Although we grew up in the Buffalo area, we had not spent any time on the river. The boat was clean. As it was raining and windy (we were in Buffalo) we were comfortable on the main deck. I had a canned beer, and my sister-in-law had a mixed drink. Neither was good. We did not consume them. The man telling the history of the area was amazing. He talked for the entire tour. He related how the Buffalo River came to be, how Buffalo was a very significant port for ships bringing wheat, ore and coal from the Great Lakes to the Erie Canal. The grain silos went through an evolution of wood structures to metal to finally concrete poured in a very unique way. He should write a book containing his knowledge. He relayed so much information that I would have enjoyed being able to review as I cannot remember all he shared. The fellow piloting the boat was very good at moving the boat so that we could appreciate the land and the structures. I would highly recommend this tour.

Docent shared numerous and extensive stories of the river history. Grain elevators tower over the pastoral river as huge giants watching over the waterway. We toured on a beautiful September afternoon with the warm sun and the calm lake making the trip super. The captain and bartender were super pleasant and helpful. Overall a great experience.
