WNY Tours, Buffalo

You could sit in a library and research the historical buildings that line Buffalo's waterfront, or you could hop on a bike and see them all firsthand. If the latter option sounds more appealing—and it probably does—head to WNY Tours and get ready to start pedaling. Three days a week for a total of five tours, the company's bike tours weave through downtown and along the water, passing such landmarks as City Hall and Delaware Park. Each tour covers about 12 miles of ground, but participants stop frequently to snap pictures and learn interesting facts about the local architecture.
