Buffalo Tails - Dog Walking Tours

Buffalo Tours docents Cindy & Paul teamed up with The Puppy Playpen on Ellicott Street for the first ever dog walking tour of downtown Buffalo. What a great idea! And from the looks of it, the tour was a rousing success.




Thanks again to Atsuko Mitchell for her photos.

War of 1812 sites in Buffalo & Black Rock

Unanswered Tour Questions

Tour patrons sometimes ask questions for which the docent doesn't have an answer. With this in mind I've created a public place to display those questions and answers .
