Tours & Cruises

Buffalo Tours offers visitors a wealth of walks, talks and tours of our historic architecture and memorable neighborhoods. These tours take you deep inside one of the most architecturally interesting cities in the country, providing insight, offering access and revealing the stories of the people who helped make Buffalo what The New York Times called "a textbook for a course on modern American architecture."

Have you ever wondered what those beautiful homes in the Parkside neighborhood look like inside? This is your chance to see City living at its best! Tickets are $13 for PCA members, $15 in advance, and $20 the day of the tour.

This year we are offering VIP tickets for $50. This will include a guided trolley tour with refreshments, goodies, and front of the line passes. There is a limited number of tickets for 11am or 2pm start time.
