30/10 Caitlin was the best and supportive. She chose the best music and provided amazing conversation..

We came for a petal tour for my bachelorette and we had the best time! Corinne was so nice and down to earth. She suggested a few bars, and we had a blast trying them all! Book with them and you will not regret it

Absolutely amazing experience with Buffalo Pedal Tours! From start to finish, the entire tour was an absolute blast. The vibe was energetic, fun, and perfect for a group outing. Being able to sip drinks, listen to music, and cruise around Buffalo made for such a memorable experience. Our guide, Ken, was phenomenal — friendly, engaging, hilarious, and made sure everyone was having a great time the entire ride. He also played great music the whole tour, which made the atmosphere even more fun and kept everyone singing along and hyped up. He truly brought the energy and elevated the entire experience. The customer service, atmosphere, and overall entertainment were top-notch. If you’re looking for a fun, unique, and unforgettable activity in Buffalo, I highly recommend Buffalo Pedal Tours. Can’t wait to book another tour!

Ken was awesome for my Bach! Great customer service! Super relaxed and laid back and had a ton of fun- took a ton of pics of us as well so we had lots of memories
