As a lifelong resident of Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier I am always amazed at how much I still can learn about our beautiful area. Joel is such an energetic historian and fills in our history with loads of laughter. I would highly recommend any tour that Joel leads.

Joel definitively made our day. We had the best time, the best laughs, and the best spots from where we understood and had the chance to experience the falls at their best. Joel's fantastic energy, incredible anecdotes of every place and corner, and amazing historical accounts made our visit unforgettable. If you have the chance to visit the Falls, undoubtedly... More

We were a group of seven people from around the world (Canada, Australia, Portugal, Germany, Colombia, America, England), who had one day to see as much of the Falls as possible. And we really did want to see everything - from Niagara's natural beauty to its industrial and architectural history to its kitsch side. And, of course, we wanted to... More

My husband and I arranged a tour with Joel, when we realized that almost all of the attractions in Niagara would still be closed during our visit. We hoped he would be able to show us some interesting spots in the area, and tell us things about the falls that would make the trip worthwhile. Joel was great! He had... More

Dear Joel, You've made my day: today I spoke with my boss and he couldn't stop thanking me for finding a great guide (You). As he said, his friends and he couldn't have seen Niagara Falls and Buffalo in a better way. They all were highly satisfied with the service you've provided. On my behalf, I'd like to thank you...

We spotted Joel underneath the giant umbrella in the midst of a downpour. The four of us seemed to click with him immediately. He is very funny and at the same time knows a great deal about the area. He also seems to really like it. It's not like he has just memorized history and geography and geology. There is... More

Our tour became only for ourselves due to sudden cancellation of other members. Even so, Joel spent a lot energy, knowledge, and humor to entertain us and our dog. We learned so many things which you can't find in a regular guidebook, and it made us want to know more about each story he told us. Joel is a very... More

I had to reschedule and he could not have been more accomodating, returned email and phone calls very promptly!The pace was easy and he stopped often enough for young, pregnant and old folks in the goup.Definitely loved Niagara walking tours, would recommend it to all age groups. I have lived in buffalo and the suburbs of Buffalo all of my... More

We stumbled upon this link on the Niagara Falls website and we thought to give it a try. We had no plans that evening so we contacted Joel via email and that afternoon he called to confirm our 6pm tour; very responsive. Our tour was a lot of fun, we enjoyed his narration as much as he seemed to keep... More
