Buffalo is the second largest city in the state of New York. It borders the banks of Buffalo Creek. Originally the land surrounding the creek was settled on by Iroquois Indians. The first European settlement was setup in 1789.
Buffalo Creek played a vital role in the rapid expansion of the city. It made the city a vital trading port with goods manufactured in the city being shipped throughout the United States. Buffalo benefited from the industrial revolution by leading the way in the steal and grain milling industries.
Climate wise Buffalo experiences snowy winters with the occasional heavy blizzard, but during summer the city enjoys a warm continental humidity with hints of the ocean. This is brought about by the fact that the winds blow over Niagara River thereby imbuing it with sea tones.
The city’s short but vibrant history has provided it with many celebrated attractions including the famous Niagara Falls. There are a wide variety of ways to explore the wonders of Buffalo.
A popular option is to take a Know How Tour. Setup in 1982 they offer the largest selection of motor coach tours in Buffalo and to its surrounding regions. The tours focus on national landmarks both natural and man made.
Know How Tours are divided into single day tours, multi day tours, world travel and charter bus. Single day tours focus on attractions within the Buffalo city limits. Key attractions visited include annual events such as St Patrick’s Day or Theatre Productions such as Grease.
Multi Day tours as their name suggest span from two nights to just over a week. These focus on key areas in and around Buffalo stretching up to Washington. Popular tours include the “Wright Way”, where visitors get to explore the unique and eco-friendly structures of celebrated architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The New York City Tour, where travellers are whisked away to the Big Apple to experience the hustle and bustle of the city that never sleeps.
Charter Bus tours are especially great if you have a big family or a company outing. Know How Tours can help customise an itinerary that will be fun for the entire group in the time span of your choice.
