Recently my husband and I traveled to Buffalo from Boston and stumbled upon a tour called “evil Buffalo” on a social media post. We decided to check it out and were not disappointed. The tour took place at night inside of Buffalo’s abandoned silos, while our guide told us several engaging and creepy stories about Buffalo’s evil past. The guide Joel was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and an absolute delight. Being inside the silos at night gave an eerie vibe to the tour and was the perfect setting, and the locally designed artwork and murals inside are top notch. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour, and we look forward to our next visit so we can book another event or tour with Joel.

What can I say, Joel rocked our corporate group tour! We had over 40 property and casualty insurance people from all across the state in Buffalo last week, and Joel put together a custom tour for us that was beyond anything we could have planned. He met our tour as we got off the bus in character - and his Irish Grain Scooper character Sean was amazing! One woman afterwords commented how lucky we were to get an actual irish person to do the tour! I didn't have the heart to correct her. Joel held everyone's attention for the entire tour, which was hilarious, informative, and lively. We have done a free group activity for our annual conference every year for the past 15 years, and I was told constantly how this was the best activity so far. It was certainly our highest attended. So thank you Joel aka Sean for your funny, educational and engaging tour! We had a blast.

We did the murder mystery dinner at Riverworks as well as the hotel Lafayette tour. Both with Joel. We had a blast at both. Joel was personable and entertaining. A good balance of history and fun. I can't wait to do the lawless pub crawl next.

As someone that's relatively new to the Buffalo area, it's tours like these that are great for learning about the history of the city. I went on the Lawless Pub Crawl, and Joel was not only full of cool, interesting knowledge but also incredibly funny and entertaining. This particular tour is $20/ticket, and it's totally worth it. I can't wait to go on another one of Joel's tours in the future!
