    Get on the bus

    Yelp! We double deckered on this big red bus! Thanks to our beloved Captain O'Connor! You are a wealth of knowledge. We got aboard the USS Sullivan and viewed the USS Croaker submarine. Then we jumped aboard the bus and toured every place imaginable in the city of Buffalo. Interesting tour and wealth of knowledge on this tour. And, Captain, your Improv is a hit. Y'all already know, this along way for me to come back, but I will spread the word.

    Friday night my two best friends and I went to The Barrel Factory in the Old First Ward to attend a Murder Mystery Dinner Performance. The characters walked around and visited us while we ate a great meal and drank. We had to figure out who killed Don Stefano. We had to use our knowledge of the characters' performance and some detective work (word searches and other puzzles) to figure out who the killer was. Joel and his crew acted very well and it was a really fun evening. This event was $57 and it was catered. It was well worth the money. My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves. In late September of 2017 my friends and I went on a Double Decker Bus Tour for a different Murder Mystery event. We started at the Flying Bison where we were introduced to some of the characters. We then went to The Barrel Factory. Our final stop was the Swannie House (some actors were at Ballyhoo.) We had to interact with the actors to figure out who killed Doug from Doug's Dive. It was quite fun and well worth the price. I think it was $35. I'm going to look into his other tours, possibly a historical one.

    "You've probably been on tours like this in other cities, but those other tours rely on something this tour does not. 'Facts.'" That's just one of the things said by the guide of this interactive, outrageous, and fun tour! In all fairness, I was warned before boarding the bus: All ye who enter must have a sense of humor! The guide's deadpan delivery sold each joke, and a few times I actually snorted because I laughed so hard. And since my girlfriends and I have agreed that 'funny equals hot,' all the ladies will swoon. (The ones on this tour did, from 13 to 73!) But that whole statement about not relying on facts is a bunch of hooey. (Yes, I used the word hooey in my review.) This guy is well-versed in Buffalo's rich history & delivers the goods all along the route. I took the Canalside tour, and before we ever got to our second stop, I was making plans in my head for one of the other tours. There are five in all (Canalside, Best of Buffalo, Murder Mystery, Drunk Buffalo, and Historic Tavern.) If you had something else in mind, and if you've got the numbers to fill the bus, Buffalo Double Decker Bus Tours will even customize something else for you. I live in Buffalo and did this tour with another local just because we wanted to try something new. I have Florida friends coming up at the end of this month, and I'll book another one for the three of us. This really is a great idea for just a couple of people (whether it's a date or two friends hanging out) or for a while group to enjoy together. One last thing, there was a downtown festival that made it impossible to meet at the regular spot. I got both an email & a personal phone call from the company to let me know the meeting point had changed. The customer service is fantastic! Book your tour online at buffalo doubledeckerbus.com.

    When I searched for what to do in buffalo..I got the usual things and in the midst of them a picture of the bright red double decker bus popped up. I read a few reviews and their website and went for it. I'm glad I did. The bus driver struck up a conversation while I waited and then the narrator/owner/tour guide, a man dressed as an old English policeman, officer O'Conner, introflduced himself, checked to make sure we were all there and started the tour in the naval park. We spent about 40 minutes exploring the boats and such while getting a significant amount of background on buffalo's bargain purchase. Then we boarded the bus, a real bonafide London relic). We went on a very informative, yet funny ride through the city. Honestly the reviews are spot on. I left with my sides hurting from laughter, a smile on my face and feeling like it was time well spent!

    We went on a tour of the Naval Yard and on the double decker bus for a tour around canalside, the outer harbor and the first ward. It was great! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable with a perfect amount of humor mixed in. Would highly recommend this for people with visitors in town or those who have lived in Buffalo all their lives!

    Who knew Buffalo, N.Y. was anything but the "armpit of America"? We took The Best of Buffalo Tour, with Joel Dombrowski & my jaw hurt for an hour afterwards, from laughing so much! His Irish Brogue sounds SO Real. Everything we saw was great & so informative, all presented in a hilarious story. He was quick witted & had immediate answers for anyone who could stop laughing to ask something. Could not believe we were on the bus for 2hrs! I was over way too soon. It also added to the atmosphere that the whole town smelled like Blueberry Cheerios. Best town tour I've taken on a bus because of Joel!!! Thank You for the info/fun!!! (We were on a 9day Collette Tour from Niagara Falls to NYC)

    Inside the Hotel Lafayette, learning about the history of the building and the work that went into the restoration.

    Took parents on the tour while they were visiting us in Buffalo. The tour guide/owner is enthusiastic and his passion for Buffalo is contagious. He has a great sense of humor and there was never a full moment on the tour.

There was a couple of odd states thrown our way when we first arrived. Not sure they expected us to show up when the demographics was older, white, and clearly in love with the cover band which was playing the Beatles. The bartenders however, were phenomenal. They seemed to be enjoying themselves which always makes the experience better. The inside has seating for I imagine 100. There are picnic benches all over plus some of them have small table games to play. There are a few benches outside in the front and then when you get to the back there are more plus other games and an overall nice area to chill in. Parking is abundant and there are so many side streets where you'll always find a spot.

Everyone who works here is friendly, accommodating, and a lover of good beer. They brew their own and, according to everyone I know who's been here, it's almost always delicious. They don't serve food apart from chips, so it's not a gastro pub by any means. However, if it's good drink, good entertainment, and good company you're looking for, you've come to not only the right place, but the best place. They get so many good bands and comedians here! The last time I went, I saw my favorite stand up comic. The atmosphere is cheerful but not rowdy. So if you're the type of person who loves to meet new, fun people who love and consume beer, come to Flying Bison. Not only will you have a great time, you'll also have a good brew to settle down with. Also, they allow dogs. What's not to love?

I've been on quite a few wine tours over the years, and it does take a certain personality to be able to do it well - but Rich was able to entertain AND be personable. He was professional AND endearing. He was always engaged in what we thought of each stop, and his relationship with the people at the breweries/distilleries/wineries seemed genuine. And whether it was him or just the smaller size, It honestly felt like we were treated better, being a part of Rich's group, then being in a group of 50 coming off a tour bus.   The stops were all great. I had some reservations about a few, but was honestly able to find something I loved at each location. Not to mention, the price is extremely competitive with all of the other tours I was researching. The van we were in was even fancy and brand new. If you're looking for something just a little different than your standard wine tour, I cannot recommend them enough.

We started out at VB Brewery, where we enjoyed our flight of awesome beer, and then had a tour of the brewing facility itself (where we got a secret extra tasting!). From there, we headed to Lost Borough, where the beer was equally amazing (and a few of us may have ordered from Sticky Lips right around the corner, which is totally encouraged!). The final stop of the day was over in Webster at Knucklehead Craft Brewing. This brewery had my favorite beer of the day, the Knockout Stout. This brewery also has a kitchen where they serve some awesome food as well! I would definitely recommend TourRoc to anybody who is interested in craft beer, or to anybody who is interested in learning more about it and the Rochester beer scene in general. Probably the best thing about TourRoc is you literally just have to show up and you're set. Your ticket price includes EVERYTHING - luxury transportation, a flight of beer at each brewery (or for those of you who are gluten free, wine, cider, or cocktails as available), snacks and water on the tour bus, and all tips for the driver and tour director. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages (alcoholic or not) on the tour bus as well! It's obvious that the detail that went into creating the TourRoc experience that the owners truly love Rochester and have a passion for local craft beer. Can't wait to go on my next tour!

    I surprised the Mrs. with this tour as an Anniversary gift. She wasn't enthused at first but my…read morerationale was for us to do something different as we both enjoy beer. However, our beer knowledge is limited to Coors Light and Corona so this tour will give us an opportunity to learn more about this concoction. We didn't quite know what to expect on this tour as it was rainy and a bit cold (not bad for a late October day however). We met the group and our guide in front of Steamwhistle Brewery at 11am. Our guide Noah (AKA Chris) was there to greet us. Along with my wife and I, there were 7 other people that were there to be part of the tour. Noah introduced himself, took us inside and led us upstairs where he told us about the company and Oliver, a little bit of a beer history of Toronto and what we will be doing on this tour. BTW, as soon as you arrive upstairs, they provide you with a beer. This is a sign for things to come... A guide from Steamwhistle, Dan, came to tell us about the company and lead us to a tour of the facility. This took approximately 40 minutes and once we came back to the room upstairs, Noah had lunch prepared for us. Lunch consisted of charcuterie: Pretzels buns, assorted meats and cheeses. Let's just say nobody was disappointed as it was very good. Then, we left and hopped into a yellow school bus. This was going to be our mode of transportation for the rest of the tour. Our driver Clem (I believe that was his name) was awesome. Our next stop was Fort York. Noah took us to a little tour of the museum and explain to us the history of Toronto in the 1800's and its relation with beer. No beer tasting in this stop. Afterwards, we went to a driving tour of Corktown and its history. This particular section of the tour wasn't long for us but it depends on the Downtown traffic. It wasn't bad for us. Later, we were dropped off at the Distillery District. We went to Izumi or Ontario Spring Water Sake Company first to taste some Sake. A worker from Izumi, Godfrey, told us about the company and the process of making Sake. We got to sample 3 different types of Sake: Nama-Nama, Genshu and Teion Sakura. Our second stop within the Distillery was Mill St. pub. where Noah offered us the different types of beers that Mill St. offers and the how it differs from each other via process and taste. We had some pretzels bites for appetizers. Then we had some time to explore the Distillery before leaving for our last stop. The manufacturing facility is in Scarborough so therefore it is out of the way. We departed the Distillery for Amsterdam Brewery in Leaside. Here, as Noah warned us earlier, the beers come fast and hard. There's no tour of the facility because they only have it twice a day and it doesn't fit this tour. However, Noah led us with the sampling of around 7 (I believe) Amsterdam beers. The most interesting one was Fracture. My wife and I took part of the optional meal at the Granite Brewery in Yonge and Eglinton. A full meal with another sampling of 4 beers. Noah was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. He made sure to keep our group relaxed and focused at the same time. He was also time conscious which is a must leading a tour group. He made sure that we were all enjoying the tour plus he was very quick to learn all of our names. This tour goes from 11am to 6pm so be prepared but they have staggered the stops at a perfect pace that you never feel like you are in a rush to get to another location. This tour is not cheap but it's worth it. You will sample more than enough beer and I don't think anyone from our group felt that they were not giving us enough beer at any time. Actually, most of us felt the opposite, that it was too much beer. You will be getting a history lesson about beer and its place in Toronto. Even though I gave 5 stars, they could improve the tour by offering more food along the stops and somehow including the tour of the Amsterdam brewery into the tour. We really don't do anything at Amsterdam besides just sit and drink the offered beers. Kudos to the Old Toronto Beer Tour Company and Noah for creating this wonderful tour and making my wife very happy! You saved me from having me sleep in the couch for a few days. Highly recommended.
