    Ridiculously fun, interesting & enjoyable. You're not going to know it until it starts, then, POW! Probably the most fun in a few years for me, Officer O'Connor was a barrel of well aged whisky & lit up the whole tour with his facts & marvelous sense of humor. I learned so much about Buffalo, the Naval Park, it is an amazing tour and something you'll never forget. Even if you lived in Buffalo your whole life, you're probably going to learn something new.

    What a wonderful time we had. I wasn’t expecting much because the cost was not expensive but was pleasantly surprised! Our guide was fantastic. Haven’t laughed so hard in a while. Very knowledgeable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My wife and I vacationed at Niagara Falls and spent a day in Buffalo. About every city we visit she likes to take a bus tour, so she booked us on the Best of Buffalo Tour with Officer O'Connor. This bus tour is unlike any other you will take. Officer O’Connor immediately picked up my wife’s accent (Lebanon) and she was “Miss Lebanon” for the day. He had us and our fellow passengers laughing before we even boarded the bus. Your guide is knowledgeable and enthusiastic of Buffalo, and you will learn a lot about the city, while simultaneously laughing hysterically over the two hours. Surprisingly, there were several locals on our tour which should tell you that it is that good. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour, other than TAKE IT!

    Highly recommend this tour! Even though we were unable to take the original route/sites, due to the Buffalo marathon, it was still an amazing tour giving a lot of history about the city of Buffalo. It was fun, witty, and educational!!

    This tour was absolutely fantastic! The owner is incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and kind. They offer 6 other tours, and I want to return for all of them! You get a very unique experience and perspective of Buffalo, things that you never would have learned otherwise.

    This was our first time doing the tour with a friend visiting from Florida. Being native Buffaloian's, we learned so many things we didn't already know and we enjoyed the tour so much. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. We will definitely recommend this to everyone.

    We stayed in Buffalo before heading to Canada and decided to try the bus tour. It was the best idea ever because it was sooo much fun. The tour guide was very sweet and the driver is awesome. We had lots of fun and was a good experience that you should definitely try. Free drinks offered😩

    Queen for the Day was a blast. Meetup group from Sunday June 11, 2023. Thanks for all the fun!

  • 5/5 Lawrence B. 8 months ago on Google
    The tour was excellent. The tour leader was among the best I've ever experienced. He combined what are probably true stories with wonderful humorous patter. Every minute of the two hours was wonderful. All in all a wonderful introduction to Buffalo.

  • 5/5 Gary G. 8 months ago on Google
    Just amazing. I found the complete tour to be funny and insightful. I would urge anyone to go on this, even if you may be a bit hesitant. I found the bus ride to be very enjoyable, I liked seeing places that I've never been to, even living in Buffalo my whole life before Philly. I found the tour guide to be very funny and filled with knowledge. I left wishing I went sooner and will really remember this forever.

    This tour is great ! We wanted to do something for my moms 60th that was kid friendly for my 8 and 4 year old niece. The tour guide is VERY funny and VERY knowledgeable of Buffalo history. This tour will NOT bore you. It will have everyone laughing of all ages. He did a great job of involving the kids so they didn’t get bored. And all the adult humor was disguised perfectly as to go over the kids heads ! Either way we ended the day laughing and smiling at all the jokes. The bus is very comfortable and it’s cool sitting on the second story while driving through the city. We are local to the area and learned all kinds of cool facts about Buffalo we never knew ! I’d recommend this tour over and over and want to look to do it again with more of our family. 5 stars !

    We just returned from a long weekend in Buffalo visiting our daughter, who is in her first year of college there. We decided to reserve a Double Decker Bus tour as a way to get to know our daughter's new city a little better. The tour was a blast - Joel is very knowledgeable of Buffalo's unique place in American history, and you can tell he's very proud of his home town. As he should be - Buffalo was wonderful! My only critique, and it's very minor - I wish we spent more time viewing the city's architecture.

    Amazing tour incredible overview of Buffalo! The tour guide was super knowledgeable and fun, would recommend everyone to join the tour if you're in the city!

    The tour guide was funny! Never a dull moment. Had a blast! If your visiting buffalo must try the double decker so you would know the history of buffalo in a none boring way.

    Officer O'Connor is second to none! What a fun loving, creative historian. Filled with with and wisdom! The four of us had so many reasons to smile and laugh. So much so, that our teeth were drying out! Thank you for a truly educating experience and fun couple of hours.

  • 5/5 Richard P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of fun. The cast was very engaged, and very funny. The double-decker bus ride added to the fun, and we got to see areas of the city we had not been to. Bring your friends and family. You won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 DanoTech 5. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the most interesting, informative tours I have been on. We went on a very hot day, but our host was incredibly accommodating and kept up a great dialogue that was honest and balanced - and very humorous! Granted, history to me, especially the subject matter and time period our host covered, has always held my interest. However, his delivery and persona was very engaging and real. I’m originally from Buffalo, and was genuinely entertained as he shared many stories of both individuals and local development over the years. Buffalo has been instrumental in the founding and development of our nation, and learning how all of that unfolded over the past two centuries is nothing short of fascinating. Highly recommended for your weekend or evening outing, or during the day if you have some time off. You will not be disappointed!

    Excellent tour! History mixed with humor. Officer O’Connor showed our group of North Carolinians a great time on Saturday.

  • 5/5 Amanda C. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the thoughtfulness that the owner put into this tour from the booking process through the end. It’s showing from the level of detail on the website, how-to-get-there guide, and the experience itself. Really fun and I learned a lot about buffalo!

  • 5/5 Lourie B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was an exceptionally fun tour! We laughed for 2 hours straight. Officer O’Connor was quick witted and provided some fun facts about the Great city of Buffalo. The bus was clean and comfortable even for my 6’3” counterpart. Would hands down recommend to anyone!

    We had a wonderful time on our recent Queen for a Day Tour. Joel, the host, was funny and very informative. It was a special day celebrating my daughter’s upcoming wedding and he made sure to include her with jokes, musings and good wishes regarding her upcoming nuptials. All the stops were a delight and we especially enjoyed the Tiki Boat ride. Highly recommend!

    My husband's Navy reunion was held in Buffalo this year and we are so glad we chose the Buffalo Double Decker Tour. Officer O'Connor was an informative guide and hilarious! The tour was on time and very accommodating to our participants with ambulation issues. Highly recommend this tour!
